Landon Hunt pretty much led wire to wire to claim the Bluegrass Golf Tour Cullan Brown Invitational that concluded Saturday at Paxton Park Golf Course in Paducah.
The McCracken County senior shot 5-under par over the two days to win by eight shots over Madisonville’s Jake Witherspoon.
Hunt shot a 6-under par 65 in Friday’s first round, which was delayed an hour due to lightning in the area.
He followed that with a 1-over par 72 on Saturday, which also endured a rain delay.
Hunt finished his 36 holes with 11 birdies and just five bogeys.
Witherspoon, who will be a sophomore at Madisonville-North Hopkins this fall, shot an even par 71 on Friday, helped by four birdies, and a 3-over par 74 on Saturday. He totaled six birdies over the two days.
Rylan Crouch of Mayfield finished in third place at 4-over par, and Maddux O’Guinn, also of Mayfield, came in fourth place at 6-over par.

The annual Cullan Brown Invitational serves as a fundraiser for the Bluegrass Golf Tour and helps fund entry fees and the tour’s western Kentucky division. The event is named after former Lyon County state champion and All-SEC golfer Cullan Brown, who died of cancer in 2020.
