Cedar Rapids Kennedy junior Davis Sutton is this week's winner of the Metro Spotlight Award for high school boys, the Metro Sports Report announced Sunday.

Sutton has emerged as one of the top golfers in the state this summer. He won the Mississippi Valley Conference Super Meet with a 4-under-par 59 at Airport National and captured the Dubuque Wahlert Invitational with a 1-under 69 at the Dubuque Golf & Country Club.

Sutton placed third at the Rotary Pribyl Junior Tournament and also finished third at the Linn-Mar Invitational.

Here is our Question-&-Answer session with Sutton:

MSR: What is your favorite individual highlight in sports?

DAVIS: At the state championship last year, I hit an iron on my fourth-to-last hole to around three feet at a tucked pin and all the people following me went nuts. And I started to make a little bit of a run, with a birdie there and the next hole.

MSR: What is your favorite team highlight in sports?

DAVIS: Though we lost by one stroke, my favorite team highlight was last year's state championship. Because our team showed so much character, and we all gave everything we had to try to win the title. We all were wearing purple shirts one day and purple ribbons both days to honor Drew Wall, who was and still is a big part of our golf team. Also with the bad weather, it just made it special.

MSR: Who has had the biggest influence on your sports career?

DAVIS: The biggest influence on my golf game has been my dad, because he's taught me how to play since I was around the age of 4. Whenever I need any club work done, my dad always does it. And whenever I feel like I need some help, I'll just ask him and we will be over to the range in five minutes.

MSR: What are your future goals in sports?

DAVIS: My goal as of the moment is to play Division I golf in college. You never really know how good you're going to get, so I may try to play professionally if I get good enough. But for now, it's to play in college and see where that takes me.

MSR: What are your favorite subjects in school?

DAVIS: My favorite school subject is social studies because I like learning about history and applying it to my life.

MSR: What has been your favorite community service project?

DAVIS: I really enjoyed helping raise money for Drew Wall and his family. It meant so much to me to help him and his family, and realize how good I have it. Drew really helped me get my life in perspective (Former Kennedy golfer Drew Wall lost his battle with cancer last November).
