Another local competing is Tony Hejna, 49, of Cleveland, Ohio. Henja, who qualified at Virginia CC in Long Beach, CA, was chosen in the third round of the 1986 National Hockey League Draft by the St. Louis Blues. Hejna, who was a two-time captain and scored 123 career points as a collegian at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), won the Turner Cup in his lone season with the IHL’s Peoria Rivermen but then retired due to multiple back surgeries. Hejna, who works in banking, is playing in his sixth USGA championship and fourth U.S. Mid-Amateur.
