Matt Gann rallied from two strokes down after one round to edge Connor Leisge by one stroke to win the Sleepy Hollow Invitational on Sunday. Gann, of Pineville, shot a seven-under par 133 to win the tournament.
Leisge was the leader after the first 18 holes with a three-under par, one stroke ahead of Drew Chamberlain and Pete Cornett Jr.
Chamberlain finished third in the tournament with a one-under par. Cornett was fourth with an even par score. Eddie Conley was fifth at five-over par.
“We had wonderful invitational, which included a number of former Tri-City residents. We also had more young golfers playing in their first tournament than we have ever had,” said Sleepy Hollow Country Club board chairman Ronnie Cox. “We enjoyed a great championship flight battle between Matt Gann, who is one the premier golfers in eastern Kentucky, and Connor Leisge, who is one of best young golfers I have seen. He has played well is some tournaments the last few years but is on the verge of a breakout win, and when that happens he will be hard to beat in any tournament.”
Eli Estep won the first flight with an even-par score, six strokes ahead of Brendan Rutherford and Joe Carroll. Mark Keith and Travis Blair finished fourth and fifth, respectively.
