After closing strong to shoot an 80 on Friday at the KHSAA State Golf Championships, Hopkinsville sophomore Cate Blane struggled early on Saturday before settling down to finish with an 86.
Making her third trip to the state tournament, Blane was 17th after her round on Friday, but three bogeys and a double bogey over the first four holes on Saturday made for a tough start. She delivered a birdie on the par-5 5th hole, but a bogey and two more double bogeys followed to finish with a 45 at the turn.
Pars on four of the next six holes steadied the ship, but bogeys on the final three left Blane with a 41 on the back. Her two-day total of 166 is an improvement on last season’s 170 when she finished 53rd.
