Trey Bowling – The 2008 Kentucky Open champion at Audubon Country Club. His win there came during his tenure as a member of the Eastern Kentucky Colonels’ golf team.

Steven Brooks – A round of 69 (-3) in the Danville qualifier is what punched Brooks’ ticket for Lexington Country Club. He grew up in Wilmore and played college golf for Asbury University.

Alex Brown – An Ashland resident and the Owner of Brown Landscape Management. Brown graduated from Ohio University with a degree in Healthcare Administration.

Mike Brumfield – He is the Men’s Golf Coach for the Bellarmine Knights. A good person to have as a coach, Brumfield is a member of Morehead State’s Hall of Fame after playing his college golf there.

Notably, he was the top seed in the Senior State Match Play but was defeated by Tom Campbell in the semifinals in a 22-hole match. Then at the Senior Amateur in Danville, Bryant led after the first round but would end up finishing runner-up to Mark Knecht when thunderstorms came and shortened the event to 27 holes, denying Bryant the opportunity to retake the lead on the back nine.

Tom Campbell – One of the most likable players in the field, this trophy is also a fan of Campbell. It spent time with him after he won this tournament in 2014 at Cherry Blossom Golf & Country Club. Campbell has enjoyed a solid 2020 season thus far, which includes runner-up finishes in the Senior Team Championship as well as the Senior Match Play Championship.

Cooper Collins - Collins is playing his fifth year of college golf at Morehead State. He hails from Lexington and went to Lexington Catholic High School. He finished T40 in this summer’s Kentucky Open at Triple Crown.

Michael Collins – He will be playing at his home course this week which should give him an advantage coming in. He made it into the field at the Danville Country Club qualifier by virtue of shooting 69 (-3).

Jacob Connors – A round of 73 (+1) in the Nevel Meade qualifier put Connors in a five-for-four playoff where he was the odd man out. But his first alternate status would get him into the field. He graduated from Trinity High School in 2018.

Jacob Cook - One of the heavy favorites coming into the tournament. Cook has had a fantastic summer in Golf House Kentucky competitions. He made a hole-in-one during the State Match Play Championship at Nevel Meade and then finished runner-up in the Kentucky Open. He was low amateur that week and it would not be a surprise to see him top his counterparts once more this week in Lexington.

Patrick Davidson – The medalist from the qualifier at Nevel Meade Golf Club. Davidson shot 69 (-3) that day, one stroke better than his next closest competitor. This product of Louisville played college golf for Centre from 2009-2013.

He also finished in fourth place at last year’s State Am in Paducah. More recently, Davis enters having just teed it up in the US Amateur in Oregon. All that experience makes the Belmont Bruin a prime contender to succeed.

Alex Doss – Doss is a Campbellsville product who finished T25 at Country Club of Paducah in last year’s State Am. He was one of the most consistent players in the field that week, going 75-75-74. He is currently in his junior year at Northern Kentucky while playing golf with the Norse.

More recently, he finished T25 in the Kentucky Open at Triple Crown Country Club.

Allen Hamilton - Hamilton has been a steady fixture for the Kentucky Wildcats during his tenure at UK, evident by the fact he started in every 2019-20 season tournament. Hamilton was a stroke away from making the cut at this summer’s Kentucky Open at Triple Crown, coming up on the wrong side of the cut line.

Koby Hastings – Hastings made it through the Bellefonte qualifier with a round of 74 (+4) which was the third-best score that day. Hastings is another in the pack who plays out of Lexington Country Club and will look to take advantage of his course knowledge this week.

Parker Haynes – Haynes finished 24^th in last year’s State Am. After a tough opening round at Country Club of Paducah, he rebounded with rounds of 72 (E) and 73 (+1) in the final two rounds to gain an exemption into this year’s field with that top-25 finish.

Jay Kirchdorfer - The UK golfer beat many of the same players in this week’s field two months ago at Nevel Meade Golf Club in the Kentucky Match Play Championship.

Jensen Klondike - A Louisville native who’s now attending Bellarmine, Klondike has started his sophomore year for the Knights.

Matt Logan – A native of Olive Hill, Logan played college golf for Morehead State from 2009-2013. We’re going to go out on a limb and say he would like to win the golf tournament. In fact, everyone competing would like to win, because it’s human nature. But at the end of the day, only one person can win the golf tournament. What matters is that win or lose, everyone gives their best effort so they can be proud of themselves at the conclusion of the competition.

Jay Nimmo - Nimmo has been one of the state’s most successful junior golfers in the last several years. His hard work has earned him a spot with the Mississippi State golf team as a result.
