Mike Herperger was born in Estevan but grew up playing golf in Humboldt.

"I started golfing when I was 3 years old, played with the family growing up."

Herperger was involved in both the Saskatchewan Mid-Amateur and Saskatchewan Men's Amateur. 

"I buckled down the last 4 holes, I made 2 birdies coming home, still thought I wasn't going to win it, but thankfully I won the mid-amateur and came in second in the men's Amateur."

The young golfer is off to British Columbia in August to hopefully continue where he left off this week.

" ya, I'm pretty excited about it."
