Said it earlier ... @ddhitchner is a great kid & a great golfer with a bright future.

Really enjoyed talking to him about his run at the #USAmateur, playing for @PeppGolf and coming up at @SportsatBlake
on the MN golf scene.

Yet another outstanding highlight from @ddhitchner at the US Amateur. A true fan favorite

[Derek Hitchner Tracker @DhitchTracker]

How good is this?! @ddhitchner HITS THE PIN on hole 15 in the quarter finals to close out the match. The crowd loves it!!

[Michael Beard @CoachMBeard]

@DhitchTracker @ddhitchner What you can’t see there is how nasty that lie was. Insane chip by our guy!

[Derek Hitchner Tracker @DhitchTracker]

Another crazy highlight from @ddhitchner. His short game display on the biggest stage in amateur golf proved to the world that he has what it takes.

[Derek Hitchner Tracker @DhitchTracker]

Imagine pulling this shot off in the semi-finals of the US Amateur. Some were calling it “the shot almost heard round the world” @ddhitchner

[Laz Versalles @laz_versalles]

What a thrill to watch @ddhitchner this week, as it has been every week we follow him.

He is competitive. He is centered. He is kind. He is focused. He is not done. Can't wait to see what he does next.

[Derek Hitchner Tracker @DhitchTracker]

What a week for the peoples champion. A star is born @ddhitchner

[Derek Hitchner Tracker @DhitchTracker]

We asked @ddhitchner and @CoachMBeard about this shot. This is how it went:
Derek stripes it
Beard says “be right”
Derek (not even watching the ball) - “it is”

[Derek Hitchner Tracker @DhitchTracker]

@ddhitchner is fully locked in as he gets ready for his Semi-Final match at the U.S. amateur. Would hate to be paired up against this

[USGA @USGA]

The #USAmateur Semifinals are set!

Dylan Menante will take on Sam Bennett in one side, while
Ben Carr battles Derek Hitchner on the other.

[USGA @USGA]

Hit the stick 🎯

A perfectly played hole from @ddhitchner and he's 3 up with three to play. #USAmateur

[Derek Hitchner Tracker @DhitchTracker]

@ddhitchner with a MONSTER win in the quarter finals at the US Amateur. He played near perfect golf today, saying this after the round: “Put some respect on my name.”

[Gabby Herzig @GabbyHerzig]

Hearing that likely U.S. Am semifinalist Derek Hitchner is a *big* Settlers of Catan guy.

Could board game strategy be the key to mastering match play golf? My column:

[Derek Hitchner Tracker @DhitchTracker]

@ddhitchner is becoming harder to beat every round. Watch his historic U.S Am run tomorrow as he chases history at Ridgewood

[Pepperdine Men’s Golf @PepperdineMGOLF]

Derek drains a birdie putt on 16 and he wins 3&2 to advance to the #USAmateur Round of 16!

#WavesUp

[Derek Hitchner Tracker @DhitchTracker]

MASSIVE WIN FOR @ddhitchner in the round of 32 at the US Amateur. Derek said, “I’m starting to find it. Would hate to be playing against me right now.”

[Derek Hitchner Tracker @DhitchTracker]

HIGHLIGHT VIDEO: Huge crowds came out only to watch the legendary @ddhitchner in his playoff this morning. He stacks the iron shot and the fans love it!!

[Derek Hitchner Tracker @DhitchTracker]

HUGE DAY FOR @ddhitchner !! Extremely clutch morning getting through the playoff, grinded his ass off in the afternoon to close out his first match. We asked Derek about beating his opponent, he said the following, “Adrien is a world class player, but I’m a generational talent.”

[Derek Hitchner Tracker @DhitchTracker]

Follow along live as @ddhitchner battles to make the cut to match play at the US Amateur. Golf course is hard, we’ve seen Derek thrive in these conditions and expect nothing less on the final 9.
