LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The final round of the
Kentucky
Amateur on June 18 was a hot and humid one at
Big
Spring Country Club. It was a white-hot fight to
the
finish, as well.
Logan Hogge of Salt Lick seemed to be in
full
control after shooting two-under-par on the first
nine
holes. 2013 Amateur Champion Tyler McDaniel
of
Manchester made a late charge -- making up 7
an
amazing 7 shots -- to narrow Hogge's lead to a
single shot with three holes to play.
Hogge, of Morehead State and McDaniel, of
the
University of Kentucky, both stumbled with
double
bogeys late in their round but Hogge was able to
comfortably two-putt on the 18th hole for par
and
the victory.
Little did he know 2014 Kentucky Golf
Association John Owens Player-of-the-Year,
Denver
Haddix, Jr. of Lexington and Drew Allenspach of
Louisville were only a shot shy of him, after both
golfers shot the round of the tournament, five-
under-
par 67, on Thursday afternoon.
"I was just trying to stick to my game
plan," Hogge told the Louisville Courier-
Journal. "I had played the back nine well all
week. So I figured to get two or three birdies
and
nobody could catch me. And then I was like 'Uh,
oh.'
Haddix and Allenspach shared the runner-Up
title and trophy in 2015. This is Haddix’s second
runner-up finished at the tournament while
Allenspach celebrated his birthday during the
final
round.
