Braden Bentley of Colorado Springs and 2015 CWGA Junior Stroke Play champion Mary Weinstein (pictured) of Highlands Ranch grabbed the lead Monday in the boys and girls championships, respectively, of the Colorado Junior Amateur, the first “major” of the inaugural season of the Junior Golf Alliance of Colorado.
Bentley posted the only sub-par round of the day at Eisenhower Golf Club’s Blue Course, firing a 1-under-par 71 for a one-stroke lead in the boys tournament. Bentley played his final eight holes in 3 under par on Monday.
Four players share second place at 72 after the opening round of the 54-hole event: University of Colorado commitment Trevor Olkowski of Grand Junction, a runner-up in last week’s AJGA Hale Irwin Colorado Junior; Daniel Pearson of Longmont, Ryan Zetwick of Castle Rock and Jake Welch of Highlands Ranch. Olkowski was 4 under par through 13, but went 4 over par coming down the stretch.
In the girls championship, Weinstein was one of three players to break 80 on Monday. The winner of the 5A girls state high school title last month, Weinstein opened with a 3-over-par 75, making a birdie and four bogeys on the day.
Jaclyn Murray of Grand Junction, a Regis Jesuit High School teammate of Weinstein, is in second place at 77. She eagled the par-4 fourth hole on Monday. Hailey Schalk of Erie, a 14-year-old who posted a top-10 finish at last week’s AJGA Hale Irwin Colorado Junior, carded a 78, good for third place going into the final two rounds.
