The Kentucky Junior Masters is an elite, invite only golf tournament displaying the talent of Kentucky’s top 50 junior golfers.  It was held on May 2 and May 3 at Keene Trace Golf Courses.

May 2 – Keene Run – 6990 yards –  Cole had a great day of ball striking, hitting 11 fairways and 15 greens.  He couldn’t get the putts to fall, leaving many of them short, and garnering only two birdies on the day.  He finished day 1 with a score of 75 and in 9th place.

May 3 – Champions Trace – 6982 yards – Cole’s ball striking was not quite as good as day one, hitting only 8 fairways and 10 greens.  The first cut of rough at Champions was more difficult to hit from than Keene.   Cole’s putting was much like the first day with only two birdies and leaving many just on the edge of the hole.  He finished the day with a 78, which proved to be a decent score as compared to the field.  Only 14 of the 50 juniors shot below 80 on the day.

Final – Cole’s two day total of 153 was good enough to tie for 6th with EKU commit, Kyle Jury and HS junior Seth Phulpager.
