Hunter Stewart, who led Lexington Christian Academy to the boys' state golf championship last weekend, is Kentucky's Mr. Golf.

Lydia Gumm of North Hardin is Miss Golf for the second time in four years.

The awards are based on points accumulated in regular- and post-season tournaments.

Stewart, a senior who will play college golf at Vanderbilt, was runner-up in the state the last two years. He won five tournaments this season.

Manual senior Akash Mirchandani, who won the state title by five shots, was second in points, followed by Clay County eighth-grader Tyler McDaniel. West Jessamine freshman Fred Allen Meyer was sixth.

Gumm, a sophomore who has played in the eight state tournaments, edged West Jessamine senior Emily Haas and Caldwell County's Emma Talley, a two-time state champ.

Gumm won four regular-season tournaments, including a 9-under-par 61 performance in the Kentucky Invitational Tournament, and was region champ.
