MOLLY BARTELS / COURIER & PRESS Cara Stuckey watches her drive on the ninth hole during the Tri-State Ladies Classic golf tournament at Helfrich Hills on Sunday, August 28, 2011. Stuckey won the event. BELOW: "It felt unbelievable. I had goose bumps," said, Sandy Sales, center, of Mayfield, Ky., who collected a hole-in-one on her first swing of the day at the 10th hole on Sunday. Here, Sales celebrates with players Kathy Hunt, left, and Dee Sloan, right, after Hunt parred the 18th hole.

Not even a playoff to win the McDonald Amateur golf tournament championship could shake up 15-year-old Austin Carmack on Sunday, although it did its best.

"Standing on the tee on that playoff hole, I never felt so nervous," said the Evansville Day School freshman.

It didn't keep him from winning the four-player playoff on the par 4, 400-yard 10th hole (a reconfiguration of the first hole on the nine-hole course).

Carmack, who led by three strokes entering Sunday's round, was sitting at 2-under when he bogeyed holes No. 15 and 16. Meanwhile, improved play by Michael Rickard, Sean Stone and Dylan Meyer allowed them to catch him at 6-under 138 for the 36 holes.
