Hooters Tour professional Randy Hutchison of Traverse City beat University of Michigan golfer Matt Thompson on the final hole of the four-round Michigan Open Thursday at The Orchards Golf Club in Washington Township.

Thompson had birdied holes 16 and 17 to take a one-shot lead at the 94th annual tournament, but Hutchison hit a sand wedge to within 2 feet of the final hole, setting up a tournament-winning birdie. Thompson missed the green with a 7-iron and missed a 7-foot putt that would have saved par.

Hutchison, a former Michigan State golfer, won $10,000. His final birdie gave him a 2-under-par 70 for the day and a 16-under-par 272 total for the tournament.

Thompson, who was also second in the 2009 Michigan Open, missed being the first amateur to win a state Open since 1975.

“I feel like he beat me,” Thompson said. “I made bogey on the last hole, missed the green, then just missed that chip, but I shot 15-under. He just beat me. Randy's a great player. He made a great birdie there to win.”

Former Michigan player Brian Ottenweller (275), now on the mini-tour circuit, finished third and Saline High School graduate and current Eastern Michigan player Marty Jeppesen (280) shot a 66 Thursday to climb into fifth place.

Michigan sophomore Joey Garber (282) finished tied for eighth, Greenhills School junior Henry Do (285) tied for 18th and Polo Fields Golf & Country Club professional John Seltzer (288) tied for 28th.
