The former Colorado State University golfer finished fifth Saturday out of a 131-person field at the Southwest Louisiana Open, the season opener for the Adams Pro Tour.
Arp (pictured), the 2010 CGA Public Links champion, posted top-10 finishes in all five of his 2017 starts on the Dreamchasers Tour, winning once and placing second once. Then against a much bigger field this week in Westlake, La., he carded four rounds in the 60s (68-63-69-67) for a 21-under-par 267 total, which left him seven strokes behind champion Steven Fox, who won the 2012 U.S. Amateur at Cherry Hills Country Club.
Over 72 holes, Arp racked up one eagle and 24 birdies. He earned $5,230.
Meanwhile, Jamie Marshall of Lone Tree tied for fifth on Thursday at the Dreamchasers Tour’s Moon Valley Winter Championship in Phoenix.
Marshall posted rounds of 70-66-69 for an 8-under-par 205 total, which left him seven strokes behind champion Ted Purdy of Phoenix, winner of the 2005 Byron Nelson Championship on the PGA Tour. Marshall made 13 birdies in three rounds.
The Cheyenne product, who finished up his college career as the national Division II player of the year at Central Oklahoma in 2012, won the Magnolia Creek Open in League City, Texas, on Tuesday. Then he tied for third Friday in the Bay Oaks Winter Classic in Houston.
Creel (pictured), who placed 12th last year in the HealthOne Colorado Open, earned $4,000 for his victory in League City after rounds of 67-71 left him at 6-under-par 138, good for a three-stroke win.
And in Houston, Creel received a $1,638 check for his third-place showing, going 67-73 for a 4-under 140 total which left him two back of champion Blake Trimble.
Also this week, former Colorado State University golfer Parker Edens tied for seventh in the Dreamchasers Pro Golf Tour’s Ocotillo Winter Major in Chandler, Ariz. The golfer from Greeley carded scores of 74-73-69 for an even-par 216 total.
