Corbin’s Makena Myatt is the Kentucky 2A Championships girls individual state champion after shooting an even-par 72 at the Owensboro Country Club.
“[It] is a tremendous achievement and a true reflection of her hard work, dedication, and determination,” said Corbin Girls Golf Coach Latoshia Davis. “She represented Corbin with pride and class.”
Myatt is a sophomore at Corbin High School.
According to the Kentucky Golf Coaches Association, Myatt is ranked 10th out of 148 girl golfers statewide.
