The 29-year-old pro estimates he’s played Collindale Golf Club between 75 and 100 times over the years, and his knowledge of the course no doubt paid dividends on Wednesday as he shared medalist honors in a U.S. Open Local Qualifying tournament.

The 2013 Wyoming State Open champion shot a 3-under-par 68 to tie for the top spot with Georgian Kyle Beardslee.

“I’ve been playing Collindale since my freshman year in high school (at Fort Collins HS),” said Rutledge (pictured). “It feels really good” to advance. “It was cold but I just tried to keep my hands warm and do my thing. I hit the ball good, played good and made some putts.”

In all, five players from Wednesday’s qualifier earned spots in the second and final stage of U.S. Open qualifying, the 36-hole Sectionals. Those will be contested at 10 sites in the U.S. on June 8. The top performers there will punch their tickets to the Open itself, set for June 18-21 at Chambers Bay in University Place, Wash.

Joining Rutledge and Beardslee in advancing Wednesday were three players who survived a five-man playoff to move on. All three fired 69s: former Colorado State University golfer Parker Edens, from Greeley; PGA Tour Canada player Michael Schoolcraft of Denver; and former Arizona high school champion Matthew Liringis of Chandler, Ariz. Schoolcraft birdied his last two holes of regulation to advance to sudden death.

Losing out in the playoff, and thereby gaining alternate positions, were University of Northern Colorado women’s golf coach Stephen Bidne and former Air Force Academy golfer Tom Whitney, of Fort Collins.

Rutledge made four birdies and one bogey on Wednesday. Beardslee chalked up seven birdies and four bogeys.

For Rutledge, it will be his third trip to U.S. Open Sectionals. And if he’s granted his first choice, he’ll be playing those in Newport Beach, Calif., very close to his new residence. That would make both qualifying stages basically home games for him.

Now a Californian, Rutledge said, “I’ve been able to work and play and practice on my game” more consistently. “I feel a lot more confident going into Sectionals. At Sectionals, it’s a matter of staying patient throughout the day and not letting anything bother you. It’s a long day of golf and there’s some good players. You have to grind it out the whole day and play the best you can.

“The biggest thing I’ve learned is you can’t go out and force the issue to play really good right away. You have to get into your groove and feel it out and just get rolling. There’s plenty of holes.”

Wednesday marked the third and final U.S. Open Local Qualifier being held in Colorado this year.

In the two tournaments conducted last week in the state — at Heritage at Westmoor in Westminster and the Broadmoor Golf Club in Colorado Springs — nine Coloradans advanced to Sectionals: Derek Tolan of Highlands Ranch, Greg Johnson of Lakewood, Andrew Romano of Lone Tree, Jim Knous of Englewood, Colin Prater and Cameron Harrell of Colorado Springs, Eric Bradley of Eagle, Nathaniel Goddard of Fort Collins, and Jake Staiano of Cherry Hills Village.

Rachel Sweeney admits she’s never had a run of birdies quite like it, and not even two lightning delays could derail her on Wednesday.

Sweeney, from Lone Tree Golf Club, made four consecutive birdies on the front nine and six overall in 15 holes as she and teammate Megan McCambridge of Boulder Country Club made it look easy in knocking off the defending champions and claiming the title in the season-opening CWGA Mashie Championship at Ptarmigan Country Club in Fort Collins.

The two college golfers — Sweeney from Lewis University in Illinois and McCambridge from Butler in Indiana — defeated Colorado-based University of Wyoming teammates Kathleen Kershisnik and Samantha Stancato, 5 and 3 in Wednesday’s championship-flight final to earn the top spot in the four-ball match play event.

“I was on a roll,” said Sweeney, an 18-year-old graduate of Mountain Vista High School. “I felt unstoppable. Everything was working.” During her run of consecutive birdies on holes 4 through 7, Sweeney hit approach shots within 10 feet every time.

Kershisnik, who was making her third consecutive appearance in the championship finals of the Mashie, chalked it up to just being one of those days.

“She was on fire today,” the golfer from Columbine Country Club said of Sweeney. “When you can’t get putts to drop and they’re making birdies, it just makes it tough to keep up with them.”

Sweeney and McCambridge (pictured above and at left, with McCambridge in purple) carded seven best-ball birdies in 15 holes, and a couple of times, both players had birdies on the same hole. “We were pin-seeking all day,” McCambridge said.

Sometimes, even when shots were mis-hit, they turned out great. Such was the case on the par-3 15th hole. McCambridge thinned her tee shot, but it bounced and rolled up to 4 feet from the pin. And after Kershisnik and Stancato failed to make par, the putt was conceded and the match was over. 

“I didn’t hit it very well but it ended up being one of those lucky bounces. It just worked out. I’ll take it,” said McCambridge, a product of Fairview High School.

Stancato and Kershisnik (pictured at left) said they played similarly to the two previous days — when they posted consecutive 5-and-4 victories — but they simply ran into a buzzsaw on Wednesday. Even after the second of two lightning delays, Sweeney and McCambridge didn’t cool off, making two birdies on their last three holes.

“We were hitting good shots into the greens but couldn’t make anything,” said Stancato, who plays out of Patty Jewett Golf Course. “It’s hard to come back when (an opponent) makes that many birdies. But we gave it our all.”

All in it, it was a stellar first appearance in the Mashie for Sweeney and McCambridge, especially considering McCambridge had never played Ptarmigan and Sweeney had never played Collindale before this week’s tournament at which both courses were used.

At the Mashie, Sweeney (left) and McCambridge defeated teams that included former Colorado State University women’s golf coach Susan Jennings, Colorado Golf Hall of Famer and seven-time Mashie champion Janet Moore, and then the defending champs.

“The last few days we’ve been able to capitalize on mistakes others have made and just kind of get away with pars,” McCambridge said. “We went into today knowing we were going to need to make some birdies to make things happen — and we did.”

In all, 192 players competed in the CWGA Mashie, with the competition broken up into a dozen flights.

But the Section not only has extended its “win streak”, but it’s gone one better.

The PGA of America recently announced its 2012 national award winners, and two Colorado PGA members made the list. Dale Smigelsky, the director of golf at Collindale Golf Club in Fort Collins, was named PGA Merchandiser of the Year for Public Facilities. And George Kahrhoff, head professional at The Country Club at Castle Pines in Castle Rock, earned the Merchandiser award for private facilities.

So that makes seven national PGA awards in six years for the Colorado Section.

“I think that speaks volumes about Colorado golf,” said Eddie Ainsworth, executive director of the Colorado PGA since 2008. “Our PGA professionals continue to be seen as the best of the best. Colorado is leading the country, from our golf courses to our PGA professionals.”

Smigelsky and Kahrhoff (left and right, respectively, in photos above) will receive their awards Jan. 18 in Orlando, Fla.

The honors for Smigelsky and Kahrhoff give the Colorado PGA 16 national PGA awards dating back to 1958. The Section’s recent win streak has included Danny Harvanek (2007 Junior Golf Leader), Clayton Cole (2008 Bill Strausbaugh Award for mentoring fellow PGA professionals), Kyle Heyen (2009 President’s Plaque for player development), Ann Finke (2010 Junior Golf Leader), and the Colorado Section as a whole (2011 Herb Graffis Award for extraordinary and exemplary contributions in player development). And the Section has continued to be at the forefront in player development in 2012, specifically through the Colorado PGA Golf in Schools program — a joint initiative with the Section’s partners in Colorado golf, including the CGA and CWGA — and the national Get Golf Ready campaign.

The PGA of America announced a total of 11 national award winners for 2012. Only Colorado and Connecticut earned two national honors each.

Two times previously, Colorado PGA members have garnered national Merchandiser of the Year awards. Keith Schneider of Castle Pines Golf Club earned the honor in the private category in 1990, and Russ Miller of the Broadmoor Golf Club was named in the resort category in 2003.

In the Colorado PGA’s Section awards, Kahrhoff has twice landed Merchandiser of the Year honors — in 2006 in the resort category at Sonnenalp Golf Club in Edwards, and in 2010 in the private category at The Country Club at Castle Pines. Smigelsky was the Section’s 2010 Merchandiser of the Year for Public Facilities for his work at Collindale.
 

After all, Lundquist (pictured) is trying to accomplish something this year that’s very similar to what Tolan did a decade ago this spring. And the Regis Jesuit High School senior took a big step in the right direction on Monday.

Lundquist, the 2011 5A state high school champion, shot a 3-under-par 69 and shared medalist honors at Westmoor, one of two U.S. Open Local Qualifiers held Monday in Colorado.

Of course, 10 years ago, Tolan was just 16 when he not only advanced through Local Qualifying, but made it through Sectionals also to earn a spot in the 2002 U.S. Open.

“That’s a great accomplishment,” Lundquist said after shooting four strokes better than Tolan on Monday. “It would be great (for Lundquist also to qualify for the U.S. Open as a teenager). It will be exciting and good experience to go play (in Sectionals).”

Lundquist was one of two teenage medalists in Colorado-based U.S. Open Local Qualifiers on Monday. At a second site, Collindale Golf Club in Fort Collins, 18-year-old Cameron Harrell of Colorado Springs led the way by firing a 5-under-par 66.

Five players from each site advance to the second and final stage of U.S. Open qualifying, the 36-hole Sectionals. They’ll compete at one of 13 Sectional tournaments held worldwide, most of which will be contested June 4. The Open itself is set for The Olympic Club’s Lake Course in San Francisco June 14-17.

Joining Lundquist in advancing to Sectionals at Westmoor were co-medalist Chase Cooper of Goodwell, Okla. (69), 2011 HealthOne Colorado Open champion Ben Portie of Westminster (70), Greg Johnson of Lakewood (70) and Jonathan Park of Denver (70).

Moving on from Collindale with Harrell — a freshman on the Colorado State golf team — were Jonathon Krick of Peoria Heights, Ill. (67), University of Colorado teammates Derek Fribbs and David Oraee (69 and 70, respectively), and Danny Hahn of Denver (70).

A five-man playoff was needed to determine the final three golfers to advance from Westmoor. Park earned his spot in Sectionals with a 3-foot birdie putt on the first extra hole, while Portie and Johnson advanced with a par and a bogey, respectively, on the second playoff hole. Kane Webber of Denver and Luke Symons from Aurora fell short in the playoff and will be the first and second alternates, respectively.

At Collindale, Mike Kitowski of Aurora was the first alternate and Alexander Gutesha of Greenwood Village the second after both carded 71s.

Lundquist, who will play college golf for Colorado Golf Hall of Famer Mark Crabtree at the University of Louisville beginning in the fall, made five birdies on Monday to join Cooper in setting the standard at Westmoor.

While many teenagers would be overwhelmed at the prospects of having a serious chance to qualify for the U.S. Open, that doesn’t seem to be the case for Lundquist. Asked if it would be a dream come true to play in the Open as a 17-year-old, he said, “It’s more of a goal than a dream. Definitely it’s an accomplishment to make it to the U.S. Open, and I would love to do that this year, but I see it kind of as a step as far as where I want to be at in a few years.”

Meanwhile, Harrell is just a year older than Lundquist in earning medalist honors in the U.S. Open Locals. On Monday, Harrell posted a bogey-free 66 at Collindale. This weekend, Harrell will join his CSU teammates in competing at an NCAA regional tournament in Bowling Green, Ky.

And Lundquist and Harrell weren’t the only youngsters to advance to Sectionals on Monday. Also moving on was Park, a 20-year-old former Colorado State-Pueblo golfer who is considering turning pro later this year. Park won the CGA Junior Stroke Play Championship in 2010.

On Monday, Park birdied his first three holes and his last two in regulation to earn a spot in the playoff, which he won. He advanced to Sectionals for the first time — just like the 23-year-old Johnson.

“It’s a big step for me,” said Johnson, a former Regis University golfer. “It’s just another step closer to playing with the big boys.”

Portie, for one, has reached the promised land all of the contestants are seeking. He joined Tolan in playing in the 2002 U.S. Open. And on Monday Portie advanced to the Sectional Qualifying stage for the seventh time in his career. He also moved on last spring at Westmoor, which led to a career year for him. The former CU golfer not only won the Colorado Open and the South Dakota Open, but he finished second in a playoff to Webber at the Wyoming Open.

“That was my best summer by far,” said the 35-year-old left-hander, who splits time between competing, teaching golf, and being an assistant coach for the men’s and women’s teams at the University of Northern Colorado. “If I could play like I did last summer, I’ll play more and find time to play more.”

One golfer who failed to advance Monday was Tolan, who shot a 73 at Westmoor.

Monday marked the final two of the three U.S. Open Local Qualifiers held in Colorado this year. Last week at Walking Stick Golf Course in Pueblo, Wil Collins of Albuquerque, N.M., Denver residents Michael Baird, James Love and Nick Mason, and Bradley Besler of Blessing, Texas, earned spots in Sectional Qualifying.
