Abigail Caine finished with a two-day total of 169 at Bowling Green Country Club Oct. 9–10, shooting an 83 Friday and an 86 Saturday to finish 44th out of 90 golfers. Both rounds included stretches of up and down golf, highlighted by four birdies over her final six holes Friday and a 39 on the back nine Saturday.
“I am grateful for these two rounds,” said Caine. “I got to see some friends and say some goodbyes to people I’ve been playing golf with for much longer than high school rounds. Some I’ve known for 10 years. Golf has taught me a lot and I am grateful to my coach who was with me through it all. Coach LaRue is a great guy and his positivity got me through this weekend.”
Caine began Friday’s round on No. 10 and shot a 46 over Nos. 10-18. After a triple bogey on her opening hole, she recorded pars on Nos. 16 and 18 before moving to the front nine.
She opened that nine with a double bogey on No. 1, followed by pars on Nos. 2 and 3. Consecutive birdies on Nos. 4 and 5 helped her recover two strokes and began a stretch that produced all four of her first-round birdies.
After a double bogey on No. 6 and a bogey on No. 7, Caine closed with birdies on Nos. 8 and 9. She played her final six holes in one-over-par and finished the front nine in 37, nine strokes lower than her opening-nine score.
Saturday’s round followed a similar pattern of recovery. Caine shot a 47 on the front nine, with pars on Nos. 5, 8 and 9.
She carried those consecutive pars into the back nine with another on No. 10. Pars on Nos. 12 and 14 helped steady her scoring before she birdied No. 15, her fifth birdie of the tournament.
Caine added a par on No. 17 and completed the back nine in 39. That was eight strokes lower than her front-nine score and seven strokes better than her score on the same nine Friday.
Across the two rounds, she recorded five birdies and 11 pars. Her combined scores were nearly even between the course’s two nines: 84 on the front and 85 on the back.
Caine finished her high school career with four state finals appearances, four Kentucky Golf Coaches Association All-State tournaments, one All-Region and one All-State team.
