TIM HOGARTH OF NORTHRIDGE WINS 24TH SCGA MID-AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP BY EIGHT SHOTS

MISSION VIEJO, April 24 – Tim Hogarth came into the 24th Southern California Golf Association (SCGA) Mid-Amateur Championship at Mission Viejo Country Club feeling confident … with good reason, it turned out. The 40-year-old Northridge resident fired a 2-under-par in today’s final round to win his second SCGA Mid-Amateur title by a record eight shots.

Hogarth -- winner of the 2004 SCGA Amateur, 1999 California Amateur (the same year he won his other SCGA Mid-Amateur title) and 1996 U.S. Amateur Public Links titles, along with numerous other prestigious events -- was the only player to finish under par for each round, shooting 70-71-70 – 211 , 5 under par over the 6,943 yard Robert Trent Jones, Sr.-designed layout that was dubbed “Mission Impossible” when it opened in 1967.

John Pate of Santa Barbara finished a distant second at 219 after posting his third consecutive round of 73 in the two-day, 54-hole event for amateur golfers age 25 and higher. David Bartman of Los Angeles finished third at 219, two shots in front of three-time SCGA Amateur champion and 200- SCGA Mid-Am winner Scott McGihon of Bermuda Dunes.

“I wasn’t surprised,” said Hogarth after his round, which included an eagle 3 on the eighth hole and three birdies. “I generally know coming in how may game is going to feel and I had a lot of confidence this week after preparing with my long-time instructor, Randy Petersen.”
