Nathan Drogin.
SPRINGFIELD, N.J. (July 27, 2021) -- A 5-under 67 Tuesday afternoon on Baltusrol Golf Club's Lower Course clinched the come-from-behind victory in the 19th MGA Carter Cup for Nathan Drogin of Essex Fells, N.J. Drogin began the final round six shots off the morning pace set by Charlie Berridge, but roared back for his first MGA victory. His round included a trio of birdies on the inward nine, including one on the par-5 18th.
Full recap to come.
The Carter Cup was first played in 2003 and is named in honor of Michael P. Carter, an accomplished junior player at Baltusrol and standout member of the golf team at New Jersey’s Delbarton School who died in a car accident in 2002. Carter had won the junior club championships at both Baltusrol and Winged Foot, and at the time of his death played for Penn State.
Even with its brief history, the Carter Cup has produced an incredible list of champions, including professionals Morgan Hoffmann (2005), and David Pastore (2010) and Cameron Young (2011). The field once again contains the region's top rising stars, who earned entry to the event based on performance in notable Met Area events.
