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.

The Twin Cities golf community was all eyes as @SportsatBlake grad @ddhitchner made a run to to the Semifinals of the US Amateur Golf tourney.
Tonight on @KSTP at 6:50, @ChrisLongKSTP chatted w/ Derek before he headed back for his 5th year w/ @PeppGolf to discuss the experience.
Yet another outstanding highlight from @ddhitchner at the US Amateur. A true fan favorite – at Minnesota, USA
How good is this?! @ddhitchner HITS THE PIN on hole 15 in the quarter finals to close out the match. The crowd loves it!! – at Minnesota, USA

What you can’t see there is how nasty that lie was. Insane chip by our guy!
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. – at Minnesota, USA
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 – at Winnipeg, Manitoba

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.
Meet Derek Hitchner, an oft-overlooked U.S. Amateur semifinalist who somehow has a Twitter tracker dedicated to him… run by a touring pro. This is the story of how a humble Hitchner has amassed a unique following.

We asked @ddhitchner and @CoachMBeard about this shot. This is how it went:

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

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.”
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!!
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.”
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.
Upcoming: @ddhitchner looks to make some more noise at the @USGA amateur championship next week. Three other stars from @PeppGolf will be competing as Derek expects another dominant performance.
If you didn’t think he could get any more clutch… @ddhitchner dead flushes an iron shot 3 feet beyond on the hole to close out the match on hole 21. “It was for the fans” he said, “They love me and I had to give them a show.”
BREAKING NEWS: After seeing @ddhitchner’s stellar opening rounds at the @WGAChamps LIV Golf has increased their offer to $800 Million. Derek’s response: “There’s only two people in the world who would turn that down, @TigerWoods and myself. Our talents simply can’t be bought.”
