LOUISVILLE, KY (August 4, 2025) – A large field of amateurs and professionals gathered at the iconic Valhalla Golf Club for the 2025 ISCO Industries Youth on Course Kentucky Pro-Am, a competitive and charitable event supporting junior golf across the Commonwealth.

The tournament featured a shamble format, with each team consisting of one professional and three amateurs. Teams selected the best drive on each hole before all players completed the hole individually. Scoring was based on one low gross and one low net score per hole, while professionals played their ball throughout to remain eligible for individual prizes.

Team Competition
The team of Bryce Hendrix, Jesse Hunt, Ryan Martin, and Cameron Roberts delivered an exceptional performance, finishing at 26-under-par 118 to claim the overall title. They paced themselves with a 15-under front nine and an 11-under back nine, outdueling the field by four shots.

Top Four Team Finishers:

1. Bryce Hendrix + Jesse Hunt + Ryan Martin + Cameron Roberts – 118 (-26)
    

2. Chip McDaniel + Drew Kiehl + Luke Latimer + Dillon Main – 122 (-22)
    

3. Laney Frye + Trip Weck + Steve Dockery + Brian Hurley – 123 (-21)
    

4. Alastair Tidcombe, PGA + Jimmy Kirchdorfer + Matt Stone + Joe Steier – 124 (-20)
    

Professional Competition
Individually, Bryce Hendrix led the pros with a stellar 6-under-par 66, securing low professional honors.

Event Purpose and Impact
The Pro-Am supports Youth on Course Kentucky, a program providing over 9,000 juniors with affordable access to golf throughout the state. With rounds priced at just $5, the program removes financial barriers and encourages youth engagement beyond introductory levels.

Proceeds benefit the Kentucky Golf Foundation, the charitable arm of Golf House Kentucky. The Foundation focuses on youth development, military outreach, and diversity initiatives within the golf community. Alongside Youth on Course, it supports programs such as PGA HOPE and the Kentucky PGA Junior Tour.
