Following the final round of the inaugural Cullan Brown Invitational Golf Tournament, Marshall County senior Jay Nimmo received the first “Cullan Brown Sportsmanship Award” from the Bluegrass Golf Tour.
The award was given to the boys’ golfer that best embodied Cullan’s traits of integrity, friendship, and sportsmanship both on and off the golf course. Nimmo is the two-time KHSAA state champion and won the weekend tourney by two shots.
The two-day event at Paducah’s Paxton Park, organized by the Bluegrass Golf Tour, raised over $10,000 for the Cullan Brown Memorial West Kentucky Development Fund for youth golfers. Brown was a state champion from Lyon County and All-SEC freshman at the University of Kentucky who died from a rare form of bone cancer earlier this year.
