Three area golfers play in Leachman Buick-GMC-Cadillac/KHSAA Girls' State Golf First Round

Three area golfers ended the 2023 high school season at the Leachman Buick-GMC-Cadillac/KHSAA Girls' State Golf First Round at Winchester Country Club Tuesday.

Fleming County senior Sadie Price tied for 23rd place at 12-over par 84 and missed being in a playoff for the last individual qualifying spot for the state championships by one shot.

The top 15 individuals not on the top three teams advance to the state championships.

Mason County freshman Sydney Ullery shot a 96 and tied for 50th place.

Lewis County junior Laira Kennedy shot a 103 and finished in 60th place.

Lexington Christian, Montgomery County and Lexington Catholic advance to the state championships at Bowling Green Country Club.

(Updated to correct that Price was one shot short of being in a playoff for the last individual qualifying spot in the state championships.)
