Matthew, in his second season with the TPS, came out like he was going to own the 12-13 age bracket of the First Citizens Tour: he won 4 of the 6 tournaments he played, including a career round of 74 at Heritage Oaks, and he finished 2nd in a fifth tournament. He only finished behind Kyle in the bracket because he did not participate in as many events.

Matthew gained incredible power in his swing in 2009, which also helped him finish 5th on the Lakeview Junior Tour where he was named the Most Improved Player of the year. His sweet golf game and his quirky diet at the annual TPS dinner earned Matthew the name “El Azucar”, or “Sugar” in Spanish.

Matthew will also head to Harrisonburg in 2010, which suggests the Streaks will have a good squad for years to come.
