Campbell Knoth and Hannah Sumner overcame the hot weather on the golf course Monday to post Top 10 finishes at the Kentucky Junior PGA stop at the Bowling Green Country Club.
Knoth, a 2019 Caldwell County graduate who is headed to Murray State this fall, carded a 7-over 79 to finish four shots out of first place in sixth place. Her only double-bogey of the day came on the first hole. She bounced back with a birdie and finished the front-9 with a 39. Knoth had five pars and four bogeys on the back-9.
