Zhong has had a strong second half of the season. On Oct. 9, in his first time playing the TPC Boston course, he recorded a 39 to earn medalist honors. He also notched two rounds of 37, once at Hopkinton Country Club and the other at Westborough Golf Course. “He has a complete game and hits the ball very far off the tee. When his game is on, he is hard to beat,” shared coach Bill Phaneuf, who also praised Zhong’s attitude and leadership. “Alvin is the perfect embodiment of a golfer, student and human, and we all can’t wait to see what he does next year and beyond.”

Move In Style, sponsored by Custom Home Realty’s Laura Wauters, is a weekly Hopkinton Independent feature. Each week during the school year, we will highlight a different Hopkinton High School athlete, selected after consultation with HHS coaches.
