[truebluefan]

David Hutsell won the 44th PGA Professional National Championship on Wednesday, beating Faber Jamerson with an 8-foot birdie putt on the second hole of a playoff.

Hutsell, the 40-year-old PGA director of instruction at The Elkridge Club in Baltimore, Md., closed with a 3-under 68 on the Hershey Country Club's East Course to match Jamerson (70) and Scott Erdmann (72) at 11-under 274. Erdmann dropped out of the playoff with a bogey on the first extra hole.

"It's my biggest accomplishment in golf by far," said Hutsell, a former Towson University baseball player who was a member of a golf course maintenance crew before the school formed a golf team. "Golf came to me late in life. To see where I started, and to where I am now, you could not have imagined it 15 years ago. Not a chance."
