Martinson then finished ninth at the 2010 DSGA Open on August 2-4 at Wild Quail Golf & Country Club in Wyoming, Del. Martinson, who posted the third lowest score among amateurs, fired a pair of three under par rounds of 69 on Monday and Tuesday, before finishing the tournament with an even par 72 on Wednesday.
