Andrew Huseman’s father, Bill, likes to keep his distance during tense moments while following his son on the golf course.
When Andrew needs either advice or a word of encouragement, though, dad is always just a few steps away — ready and willing.
The 25-year-old Huseman held off Nate McCoy by a single stroke on Sunday to secure his second consecutive Fort Dodge Amateur championship in the Open Division. There were some tense moments down the stretch, and the former Ankeny Centennial standout — the grandson of the late Hall of Fame Fort Dodge Senior High coach and athletic director Dutch Huseman — had to do a little late scoreboard watching with McCoy right on his heels.
