Next on the tee: Matt Hutton (Action PC Golf)

[msh555]

You know the story. A young golfer works his way through the lower ranks, earning a spot on the PGA Tour. He now has the chance to realize his dreams of becoming a winner on tour and a contender in the major championships. He is at a crossroads. He could rise to the highest level of the game or he could fade into obscurity.

But you don't know Matt Hutton, a big 6'3 golfer who refuses to hit his driver much more than 250 yards. He clearly has the strength to hit the ball farther, but would rather focus on keeping the ball in the fairway. Will this new approach pay off or will he be left in the dust by the likes of Tiger Woods and Bubba Watson?
