Marshall County freshman Trinity Beth rode a strong start on Saturday and outdueled Lyon County’s Cathryn Brown down the stretch to win the KHSAA State Golf Championship at Bowling Green Country Club.
The Lady Marshals fell just short of repeating as state champions, posting a 651 to finish 17 shots back of Madison Central.
Beth led the field by a stroke after an even 72 on Friday, and she was on fire to start the day with three birdies in the first four holes.
She gave two strokes back with bogeys on nine and ten before bouncing back with a birdie on the par-3 11th hole.
After leaving the door open for Lyon County’s Cathryn Brown with three straight bogeys, Beth dialed in to birdie the final two holes to finish with a 1-under 71 and hold off Brown by three strokes.
