Tom Hoge is a Fargo, North Dakota native but has plenty of connections with the State of Minnesota.  Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON.  He is covering the Masters this week in Augusta, Georgia.  Souhan says Minnesota's top golfers really embraced Tom at an early age and allowed him to play on the best courses and against the best talent in Minnesota as a young person.
