“We just went out there and posted two solid scores,” said Hogue. “My partner really stepped it up during the final round, and he was the reason why we were able to capture this victory. This is truly a first class event.  From the great golf to the sponsors involved, even every one of the outstanding meals that were served … the event from start to finish is world class and we are excited to now be a champion.”
