NICHOLASVILLE, Ky. (AP) – University of Kentucky golfer John Holmes posted a one-stroke win in the Kentucky Open tournament, which ended Thursday at Champion Trace Golf Club.

Holmes, of Campbellsville, finished at 10-under-par 206, one shot better than Jeremy Langley of Lexington. Josh Teater of Lexington finished three shots behind Holmes, and Grover Justice of Pikeville was another shot back in fourth.

Holmes, Langley and Justice entered the final round tied at 7-under-par. Holmes shot a 69 on Thursday, Langley a 70 and Justice a 73.

Holmes, who will be a senior at UK in 2004-05, tied for sixth in the NCAA tournament in June at The Homestead in Hot Springs, Va., and received All-America honors. He led Kentucky to an eighth-place finish in that event, the best in school history.

Also in June, Holmes won the Men’s State Amateur Championship by 12 shots at Traditions Golf Club in Hebron.
