Notable Performances:
- Wynn Flynt | Centre | FR | Lexington, KY – Wynn Flynt delivered a solid two-round performance at Keene Trace Golf Club on the Champion Trace Course, finishing with a total of 150 (+6). After a challenging opening round of 77 (+5), highlighted by a few costly holes in the middle of the front nine, he showed resilience by settling in and playing his final 10 holes at just +1. He carried that momentum into Round 2, carding a much cleaner 73 (+1), including an even-par front nine and a key birdie on the par-3 14th. Overall, the four-shot improvement between rounds reflects better consistency and control, with fewer big mistakes and a strong ability to bounce back under pressure.
