Brooks Koepka couldn’t quite win his third U.S. Open in a row, but 12-year-old Alex McCarthy of Saginaw did collect his third straight TGA tournament title at Somerset Park in Troy June 23. He played solid golf from tee to green, shooting a three-over-par 33 to win the 12-15 division by six shots. He won the 9-11 title the last two years with scores of 33 and 32, so he clearly loves this course!
