PT sophomore McCall Moore shot a 4-over-par 76 to finish as runner-up at the Kentucky 2A State golf championships held at Owensboro Country Club on Monday.
“I was due for a good round and I just put it all together,” Moore said. “It’s definitely a confidence booster for me, finishing strong at 2A State and heading into the regional tournament. It was definitely an honor to represent Paducah Tilghman. It’s an honor to be part of our athletic excellence and I like being the only girl and having coach Charli Doss with me throughout my round.”
Moore, along with the PTHS boys team, will compete at the Region 1 golf tournament on Drake Creek Golf Club on September 24.
