The Kentucky State Amateur Championship Complete Results
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Sophomore men's golfer J.B. Williams concluded the 2015 Clark's Pump-N-Shop Marathon Kentucky Amateur in a tie for sixth place on Thursday.
Williams closed play with a three-round score of 1-under 215, just one of seven players in the 73-player field to finish the tournament under par. Logan Hogge led wire-to-wire to win the event with a 54-hole tally of 4-under 212.
After opening the tournament with a 3-under 69, Williams posted a 1-under 71 on Wednesday before closing play with a final-round 75 (+3). He carded two birdies and one eagle on the day, but could not overcome his five bogeys and one double-bogey.
Fellow sophomore Chandler Morgan finished the amateur event in a tie for 50th place (228, +12).
