Pelletier, 36, started his final round of the three-day tournament in second place — one shot behind Hooksett’s Jeremy Burke and Boscawen resident Andrew Surprenant.
Pelletier opened Thursday with birdies on his first three holes and did not post a bogey on the way to a 66. The New Hampshire Golf Association e-Club member finished with a 9-under 207 (69-72-66).
Burke, 20, shot a 1-under 71 on Thursday, finishing second with a 5-under 211 (73-67-71). Suprenant, 18, finished fourth with a 3-under 213 (70-70-73), one stroke behind The Shattuck’s Damon Salo (74-67-71).
