The 36th CGA Western Chapter Championship will be held this weekend, and the winners of both the open and senior divisions last year are back for more.
The Bridges Golf & Country Club (left) in Montrose will host the 36-hole stroke-play event, which runs Saturday and Sunday. Ninety-nine players are signed up for the competition.
Ross Macdonald of the Country Club at Castle Pines, who won last year’s open division by three strokes, will be back to defend his title. The University of Colorado golfer has put up some notable finishes in the last few months, placing second individually in the Pac-12 Conference Championship and being runner-up in the CGA Match Play.
Also in the open field are Chris Carlson of Highlands Ranch Golf Club, a former CGA Mid-Amateur champion who placed third in the Western Chapter last year, and former CGA Four-Ball champion Barry Erwin of Murphy Creek Golf Course.
Defending his senior division championship this weekend will be Brian Woody of the Ridge at Castle Pines North. Likewise competing among the seniors are Robert Polk of Colorado Golf Club, a three-time CGA Senior Player of the Year, and 2017 Senior POY Keith Atkins of Highland Meadows Golf Course.
