Apollo junior Macey Brown missed claiming the Region 2 golf title in 2019 by a single shot. She made sure there was no such drama Tuesday as she won the region title by four strokes at the Hopkinsville Golf and Country Club.
Brown bogeyed two of the first three holes before she found her footing on the ninth hole. She made the turn at 2-over and made par on the first three holes of the back nine. A birdie on the 14th hole helped offset a double-bogey on No. 16. She came in at 38 to shoot one of two rounds in the 70s.
Hopkinsville eighth-grader Cate Blane birdied two of the first five holes and shot a 38 on the front nine despite no pars. She birdied No. 10 and carded her first par on No. 11. Two straight double-bogeys on No. 12 and No. 13 derailed her title chances, but her round of 80 was good for third place.
University Heights Academy sophomore Rheagan Lindsey finished fourth with a round of 84 that included one birdie.
Hopkinsville freshman Anna Fort finished sixth with a score of 86, one shot behind Owensboro seventh-grader Alexsa Salamah . Fort shot a 43 on the front nine and started the back nine with four straight pars. Despite a bobble on the scorecard at the end, Fort qualified for her first state tourney.
Daviess County’s Holly Holton, Apollo’s Mary Ann Lyons, and UHA’s Conlee Lindsey all tied for seventh place with an 88. The three went to a playoff hole to determine which two would qualify for the state tournament. Holton made par on the first hole, and Lyons made bogey. Lindsey’s drive went near a tree that forced a second shot under a tree that missed the green where she didn’t recover.
Madisonville’s Sydney Browning also shot an 88 and qualifies for the state meet. Her round included a hole-in-one on the 17th hole.
Madisonville won its second straight team title led by Kaitlyn Zieba’s round of 79 that saw her finish second.
