Four golfers with Kentucky connections made the cut at this year’s ISCO Championship, Kentucky’s annual PGA Tour stop which took place for the first time at Hurstbourne Country Club (par 70) in Louisville.
Following Friday’s second round of play, 68 total golfers have survived the cut from an initial field of 156 golfers to play the weekend at Hurstbourne.
The 36-hole cut came down at 1-over-par.
The tournament was won Sunday by William Mouw, who made the cut at even par and recorded a sensational final round 61 (-9) to storm up the leaderboard and win the ISCO by one shot.
At the start of the tournament, 10 golfers with ties to the commonwealth were in the field for the event, which was previously known as the Barbasol Championship.
This is the first year that the ISCO is taking place at Hurstbourne. Previously, the event took place since 2018 at Champions at Keene Trace golf course in Nicholasville. Last year’s ISCO at Keene Trace had an 8-under-par cut score, which set the PGA Tour record for the lowest 36-hole cut-line score in an individual, stroke-play event.
The scoring wasn’t anywhere close to that low this week at Hurstbourne.
Here’s a detailed look at how each of the Kentucky golfers in this year’s edition of the ISCO fared.
