Simi Valley's Matt Hoffenberg fired a final-round 4-under-par 68 to win the 93rd annual Southwestern Amateur Championship, held June 10-13 at the Twin Warriors Golf Club in Santa Ana Pueblo, N.M.

Hoffenberg, a sophomore at San Diego State, overcame a three-shot deficit to finish with a combined 5-under 283 (71-74-70-68), edging Pepperdine graduate Jesse Barnsley by one stroke.

Hoffenberg was fifth heading into the final round. After posting his 68, he had to nervously wait to see if his 5-under total would hold up. Barnsley barely missed a birdie putt on the final hole that would have forced a playoff.

Several former champions at the Southwestern Amateur who have gone on to have successful careers on the PGA Tour including Oxnard native Corey Pavin, Craig Stadler, Jay Haas, Mark O'Meara, Tom Pernice Jr., Ted Purdy and Nick Watney.

Hoffenberg had a terrific first season at San Diego State, posting the second best stroke average on the team at 72.83. The talented lefty posted four top-10 finishes, including a first-place tie at the Fresno State Lexus Classic in March.

Right after winning the Southwestern Amateur, Hoffenberg reached the semifinals of the California State Amateur. He was tri-medalist in the stroke play portion of the event, shooting 2-under 140 for the 36 holes. He lost to 16-year-old Austin Roberts of Carmichael High 5 and 4 in the semifinals of match play.
