Rambo shot a 1-over par 37 on the front nine and came in with a 43 on the back nine. He was one of the ten individual qualifiers for next week’s state first round at the Hopkinsville Golf and Country Club.
Owensboro’s Jax Malone won the region title with a 2-under par 70, one shot ahead of Daviess County’s Grant Broughton. Hopkinsville’s Wade Foster was third with an even-par 72.
Jagger Byrum shot a 95 to finish tied for 65th place, while Jaxson Miller was one shot back in 68th place. Maxwell Clark shot a 98 to finish tied for 75th place and Ashton Blades-Utley shot a 106 to come in 83rd place.
As a team, the Storm finished in 14th place with a score of 369. Owensboro won the team title with a score of 300 – 22 shots better than second place Daviess County.
The tourney in Owensboro was suspended on Monday after a pair of two-hour delays. The Storm golfers had already made the turn when the horn sounded at 6:30 to stop play. They returned on Tuesday to finish their rounds.
