Red Hot Patrick Hohman Blazes Through the Competition in 2006 Titleist Junior Tour

Boys' Latin Golf Team member, Patrick Hohman has racked up an impressive competitive record thusfar this summer - placing 2nd two times in just as many events of the Mid Atlantic PGA's Titleist Junior Tour. Stretching across Maryland and Virginia, the Titleist Junior Tour fills its fields with elite competition and only the highest caliber junior golfers.

The lanky incoming-junior has represented Boys' Latin by tying for second place in one-day championships at both Prospect Bay Golf Club and Montgomery Village Golf Club.

The Championship at Prospect Bay, held June 19th in Grasonville, Maryland, found Hohman firing a seven over par 79 to halve second place and finish seven shots behind tournament medalist, eighteen year old Robert Merkert. Consistency appeared to be the key to Hohman's round as he carded ten pars and a birdie during his round. The Laker stand-out played the par 3's at even par, the par 4's at four over, and the par 5's at three over for the day.

July 10th found Hohman competing in a field of 43 players in a championship contested over the links of Montgomery Village Golf Club in Gaithersburg, Maryland. The Laker carded a six over par 77 en route to his second tie-for-2nd place finish - this time settling only five shots off the place of winner, 16 year old Danny Kim. Hohman's round came after leveraging a solid tee-to-green strategy that found him recording eleven pars and one birdge across the sixty-seven hundred yard course layout.

The 2006 Laker Golf Team MVP has been pleased with his hot-out-of-the-gates start to the summer season; and his two t-2nd finishes have vaulted him into the Top 20 Point Earners for the Titleist Junior Tour's Summer Season. Currently positioned at #16 in the rankings with 133.33 total points, Hohman is postured for a quick advancement to the top should he maintain the form that has served him so well thusfar.

Patrick Hohman's future appears bright as a MIAA Golf stand-out; and the Lakers are excited about the game-advancement that he is securing this summer. Most certainly, the days to come will be full of victories and ongoing achievement as this young man continues to develop as a golfer and an individual. Boys' Latin couldn't be more proud.
