As in this fall’s Ryder Cup, Europe dominated over the weekend to win Colorado’s Junior Ryder Cup matches held at CommonGround Golf Course in Aurora.
Some of the best players in the state age 13 and under competed in the event, with the designated “Team Europe” (pictured) defeating Team USA 19-13 after three sessions of matches.
While the USA won Sunday’s 18-hole singles session, 9-7, Europe had built a commanding lead in the team portion of the event, winning the nine-hole four-ball and the nine-hole foursomes — both held on Saturday — by 6-2 margins in each case.

Out of the 32 juniors who competed in the Junior Ryder Cup, just four won all three of their matches — Emily Cheng (USA), Caitlyn Chin (Europe), Wes Erling (Europe) and Frank Lockwood (Europe).
