A Firecracker four-peat for Feldhaus

Deron Feldhaus fired an eight-under 62 today and won the Firecracker golf tournament at Kenton Station Golf Course for the fourth straight year and the seventh time overall.

Feldhaus had a 36-hole total of 15-under 125.

Logan McIntosh finished second at 128 and Jackson Frame took third place at 129.

Feldhaus began the day two shots off the lead. He said the turnaround was on No. 11 when he hit his tee shot out of bounds and still parred the hole. He hit his third shot on the green and made a 25-foot putt.

He played the final five holes in five-under.

"The name of the game is putting and I made a lot of putts in two days," Feldhaus said.

The seven-time champion continues to hold off the young golfers.

"I keep on trying, man," Feldhaus said. "I play with these guys, and how far they hit it, or whatever, I know my time-it's getting ready to come to an end; I'm enjoying this moment, to be able to compete with 'em."

Feldhaus said his dad, Allen, who died last year, would have been proud of his win.

"He never wanted to go out there and watch me play, but he knew how I stood," Feldhaus said. "so, he knew how I stood coming into 18 (today)."

Bobby Kearney had a hole-in-one on No. 17. It's his second ace of the year at Kenton Station. He had a hole-in-one on No. 3 last month in the Two-Man scramble.
