Zahkai Brown of Arvada tied for first place in regulation but lost in a playoff in the Dreamchasers Pro Golf Tour’s Wigwam Red Winter Championship that ended Wednesday in Litchfield Park, Ariz.
The former Colorado State University golfer, winner of the 2013 CoBank Colorado Open, shot rounds of 65-67-65 for a 19-under-par 197 total. That tied him for the top spot after 54 holes, but Brad Hopfinger of Chicago prevailed in a playoff with a birdie on the second extra hole.
In the final round, Brown (pictured) made seven birdies and two bogeys and eagled the 378-yard, par-4 11th hole. He earned $3,300.
Another former CSU golfer, Riley Arp of Fort Collins, also posted a top-10 finish with a 10th-place showing. Arp, who went 71-68-68–207, remains atop the 2017 Dreamchasers money list with $8,850.
Arp has placed in the top 10 in all four Dreamchasers events this year.
Also this week in mini-tour action, Betsy Kelly of Denver finished sixth and Samantha Stancato of Colorado Springs was 10th in a Cactus Tour tournament, also in Litchfield Park.
Kelly, a former CSU golfer, carded scores of 75-74-71 for a 4-over-par 220 total, while Stancato went 74-73-78–225.
