Pendergrass wins high school golf championship

BARLOW, Ky.--The 2nd Annual Ballard Memorial High School Golf Championship was held Oct.1-4, in Barlow, Ky. at the Ballard Country Club, and taking the victory was eighth-grader Blake Pendergrass, son of Jeff Pendergrass of Bertrand and grandson of Roger and Brenda Pendergrass.

After one round, Blake Pendergrass was in second place with a 34, two-under par of nine holes.

The second day, Pendergrass made a push toward the front, shooting a one-

under 35, for an 18-hole score of 69. The score was good enough for three-

under-par for the tournament, and set an 18-hole championship scoring record.

Through three rounds, Pendergrass shot an even par 36, which kept him at three-under for the tournament, good enough for yet another record for 27 holes at 105.

Pendergrass wasn't done setting records just yet, as he shot a 38 on day four of the tournament in the final round, finishing up with a score of 143, and a first place finish. The score was good enough for a one-under-par finish overall, and a new low-score record in the championship.
