Hiskey, who holds the Idaho state amateur crown, was strongly favored to win the Texas championship after he had powered his way to the final round.The new champion replaces his father, widely-known Spec Goldman, as amateur champ. Goldman’s uncle, Ray Kenny, is also a former Texas amateur title-holder.Goldman drew scant attention in the early rounds of the tournament. He won from Warren Higgins, 2 and 1, to start tournament play, then bested SMU-ex Terry Morrow of Nacogdoches.

Three birdies on the back nine of the afternoon round put Goldman back in contention, and he ended the match on the 17th green after some masterful putting.Previous tournaments Goldman has won are the 13-year-old and 15-year-old divisions of the City Junior tournaments.
