But this year’s Colorado tournament schedule isn’t just a one-hit wonder.

Here are some of the other highlights and/or notable golf tournaments the state will host in 2013:

— On May 29, the West Course at the Broadmoor in Colorado Springs will be one of just 20 sites nationally where Sectional qualifying for the U.S. Women’s Open will be held. Competitors will vie over 36 holes for spots in the 2013 Women’s Open, set for Sebonack Golf Club in Southampton, N.Y., June 27-30.

Last year, the Broadmoor qualifier produced two U.S. Open contestants from Colorado: Becca Huffer and Kelly Jacques (pictured).

— The Broadmoor’s West Course also will host U.S. Senior Open Sectional qualifying. The 18-hole test on June 17 will be one of 34 conducted across the country for the Senior Open, which is scheduled for Omaha Country Club July 11-14.

And though Colorado lost its U.S. Open Sectional qualifier several years ago, three Local qualifying tournaments are set in the state: May 6 at Desert Hawk in Pueblo West and May 13 at Heritage at Westmoor in Westminster and Collindale in Fort Collins.

— Some of the best female junior golfers from the U.S. and Europe will compete against one another in a Solheim Cup-related event in Colorado. The seventh Ping Junior Solheim Cup will be held Aug. 12-14 at Inverness Golf Club in Englewood.

Each team will include 12 players, age 12-18, with the contestants being finalized in July.

World Golf Hall of Famer Kathy Whitworth will captain the U.S. Junior Solheim Cup team, while Scotland’s Janice Moodie will lead the European squad.

— The PGA Junior Series, which features strong national and local fields for both boys and girls, will return to Eisenhower Golf Club at the Air Force Academy June 25-27.

Last year’s PGA Junior Series event at Eisenhower Golf Club was canceled at the last minute due to the Waldo Canyon Fire that burned near Colorado Springs.

— The Colorado Cup matches, where some of the best CGA/CWGA amateurs face their counterparts from the Colorado PGA, will be played on just one day this year after traditionally being a two-day affair. The 2013 Cup matches are set for June 5 at CommonGround Golf Course in Aurora.

— In hopes of improving the field for both events, the typical dates of the HealthOne Colorado Women’s Open and the HealthOne Colorado Senior Open have been flopped this year. The seniors will compete May 29-31, with the women set for Sept. 4-6, and Green Valley Ranch Golf Club in northeast Denver again will host both tournaments.

The HealthOne Colorado Open will remain in its usual date slot, with the tournament scheduled for July 25-28 at GVR.

— As for the state’s top amateur championships, here’s the lineup: the CGA Match Play, first held in 1901, July 8-12 at Bear Creek Golf Club; the CGA Stroke Play, which dates back to 1937, Aug. 8-11 at Pinehurst Country Club; the CWGA Stroke Play, originally held in 1948, June 26-28 at the Ranch Country Club; and the CWGA Match Play, first contested in 1916, July 15-17 at the Club at Rolling Hills.

— Neither the boys nor girls Junior America’s Cup will be held in Colorado this year, but four of the state’s best boys players will have quite a treat this summer.

A year after the Colorado Girls’ Junior America’s Cup team got to compete in Maui, it’s the boys’ turn this time to head to Hawaii. The squad representing the CGA will play in the event July 30-Aug. 1. The girls, meanwhile, will be in Albuquerque this year, on the same dates.

— For the first time in recent years, the Colorado PGA Professional Championship — the highlight of the Colorado PGA tournament schedule — will be contested on the Western Slope. This summer’s tournament is set for Sept. 9-11 at the Fazio Course at Red Sky Golf Club in Wolcott.

— The Mark Simpson Colorado Invitational, which combines a college tournament with a high school all-star event, is set for Sept. 23-24 at Erie’s Colorado National Golf Club. The University of Colorado will host the tournament, which includes a separate competition — the CJGA Collegiate High School Invitational — featuring about 10 of the best boys players in the state.

— Top CJGA players will have the pleasure of competing at Cherry Hills Country Club — home of the PGA Tour’s 2014 BMW Championship — for the CJGA Tournament of Champions Oct. 5-6. A couple of months earlier, the CJGA 14-18 Junior Series Championship will go out of the norm in being held at two sites: Colorado Springs Country Club Aug. 5 and the Country Club of Colorado Aug. 6.

After an off-season lull that lasted the better part of seven months, the next three weeks are jam-packed with a variety of tournaments. In addition to several state championships, there’s the always-intriguing U.S. Open qualifying and the first women’s NCAA regional ever held in the state.

The schedule runs the gamut from the girls state high school championships to the CGA Super-Senior Match Play for competitors 60 and older.

Here’s a snapshot of some of the key events that will take place in the next three weeks:

— The CGA Four-Ball Championship, set for Friday through Sunday at Legacy Ridge in Westminster, marks the first of 14 CGA Championships in 2012. The scratch best-ball stroke-play event, with open and senior divisions, will be contested over 54 holes.

Danny Riskam and Pete Mangold will defend their open-division title, while Keith Masters and John Applegate will try to make it two straight in the senior category. All told, 60 two-man teams will compete.

— Local qualifying for the U.S. Open, the first of two stages of Open qualifying, will take place at three sites in Colorado. A total of 236 players will vie at Walking Stick in Pueblo (Monday), the Heritage at Westmoor in Westminster (May 14) or Collindale in Fort Collins (May 14).

Five players from each site will earn spots in the 36-hole Sectional qualifying, which will be contested at 13 sites around the world, though there is no longer a Colorado-based Sectional.

The Open itself is set for The Olympic Club in San Francisco June 14-17.

A number of golfers who have qualified for the U.S. Open in the past are in the Local qualifiers in Colorado. Among them is Steve Irwin (pictured), son of three-time U.S. Open champion Hale Irwin. Steve Irwin, who advanced to last year’s Open after successfully negotiating the Local and Sectional qualifying, will be in the field at Walking Stick.

Other former U.S. Open competitors in Colorado-based Local qualifying include Tom Glissmeyer (Walking Stick) and Derek Tolan (Heritage), who both earned Open berths as 16-year-olds; Ben Portie (Heritage); Jason Preeo (Collindale); Dustin White (playing in his former hometown at Walking Stick); and former PGA Tour player Wil Collins (Walking Stick).

Also competing are Nationwide Tour player James Love (Walking Stick), 2010 Utah Open champion Nick Mason (Walking Stick), onetime Nationwide Tour winner Scott Petersen (Heritage) and high school phenom Wyndham Clark (Collindale).

In all, 9,006 entries were accepted for this year’s U.S. Open.

— The women’s NCAA West Regional, hosted by the highly ranked University of Colorado team, will be contested May 10-12 at Colorado National Golf Club in Erie.

UCLA, the top-ranked women’s team in the nation, is in the field.

— The first non-team championship on the CGA schedule is the CGA Senior Match Play and Super Senior Match Play, set for May 14-18 at Red Hawk Ridge in Castle Rock.

David Delich will defend his title, while 2011 CGA Senior Stroke Play champ Jerry Kidney is also in the field.

— A new event on the CGA schedule, the Mid-Amateur Match Play, will make its debut May 18-20 at Heritage Todd Creek in Thornton. That means mid-amateur players (25 and older) now have both stroke play and match play championships run by the CGA.

Keith Humerickhouse has won the last two CGA Mid-Amateurs, which has a stroke-play format.

— Two classifications of girls state high school tournaments will battle it out on May 21 and 22. The 5A meet, featuring the state’s largest schools, is set for Aurora Hills, while the 4A competition will be at Boomerang in Greeley.

Overland senior SeungHa Choi will be looking for her second straight 5A title, while a new champion will be crowned in 4A after 2011 winner Lindsay McGetrick of Valor Christian graduated.
