When PGA head professional Dan O’Shaughnessy and the rest of the folks at Meadow Hills Golf Course in Aurora first heard about the Youth on Course initiative coming to Colorado early in 2018, his reaction was simple:

“Win, win.”

A win for kids in the Youth on Course program, who pay no more than $5 per round at participating facilities. And a win for those courses, which receive a subsidy as part of the initiative, and which can be adding long-term customers. And it’s also a victory for golf in general, helping kids fall in love with the game, which can pay dividends years and decades down the line.

In Colorado, Youth on Course was launched at the beginning of 2018 with the Junior Golf Alliance of Colorado — founded and operated by the CGA and the Colorado PGA — overseeing the program in the Centennial State. Fifteen courses in Colorado signed on for 2018 — some allowing the kids to play for $5 or less anytime, and others with day and time restrictions.

Those 15 courses include facilities from the western half of the state (Lincoln Park in Grand Junction, Gypsum Creek and Vail Golf Club), the south (Silver Spruce in Colorado Springs) and the north (City Park Nine in Fort Collins), besides the Denver metro area. All five City of Aurora courses were among those to embrace the initiative in its first year in Colorado. For a complete list of the participating facilities in the Centennial State, CLICK HERE.

Overall, 661 junior rounds were played in the state as part of Youth on Course in 2018, with more than $3,800 in subsidies paid out to participating facilities by the national Youth on Course foundation. Soon, Colorado-based funding will be used to pay the subsidies.

Youth on Course was one of the topics of conversation last week at the annual Colorado Public Golf Operators Meeting held at Meadow Hills.

That site was appropriate given that Meadow Hills led the way on the Youth on Course front in Colorado in year 1. O’Shaughnessy, who accepted an award on behalf of Meadow Hills for that reason (left), said the course had about 230 Youth on Course rounds in 2018.

“They gave us the info (on the program) in February or March. We read it over and thought, ‘Win, win,'” O’Shaughnessy said after the meeting. “Number 1, we’re not doing something that reduces our revenue. We keep it the same, but by reducing the cost to the participant, it’s a winner. A kid comes in at 2 o’clock, $5, he’s off and playing. We’ll get our $6 back (on an $11 junior green free). It’s fantastic from that perspective.”

YOC, a non-profit started in 2006 as a Northern California Golf Association initiative, has been steadily taking root across the country, mainly through USGA-affiliated Allied Golf Associations — traditionally known as state and regional golf associations — and affiliated organizations. To date, according to the Youth on Course website, there have been 45,000 members, with 900 participating courses and more than 700,000 rounds of golf having been subsidized.

In Colorado, in order to participate in the Youth on Course program, youngsters must be JGAC members. Youth on Course members in Colorado can play for $5 or less at participating courses outside the state as well.

In Meadow Hills’ case, Youth on Course was used in part to lessen costs for junior golfers as the facility launched a league for kids 14-16 years old — just older than those who participate in PGA Jr. League.

“We did quite a few through that league,” O’Shaugnessy said. “They would come out every Monday, play in a league, play match play, play stroke play, and have fun and it would cost them $5 (per round). That was easy to put into a package and we had about 50 (participants) this year. We hope to double it next year. There were two prices: $250 and $170. All they had to do to get the $170 deal was join the Junior Golf Alliance and become eligible for Youth on Course. It was a pretty simple equation.”

Meadow Hills uses Youth on Course as part of a bigger initiative to build junior golf.

“We didn’t see a lot of loveblood” years ago, O’Shaugnessy said. “But we built a little three-hole course on a dead area on the course. We paired with First Tee of Front Range to bring in their programming here. So this (Youth on Course) was part of a bigger puzzle to try to build our club to be more junior focused. We’ve been doing PGA Jr. League for six years — we’re one of the initial ones to do that — so that’s been a great component. And now we’re building some other components around it because it’s got a lot of momentum. It’s a high priority.”

CGA executive director Ed Mate predicted a year ago that Youth on Course could be a game-changer for player development.

And what’s his impression after one year of having the initiative in Colorado?

“I think it’s a good start,” he said. “Like most things, it takes time to establish them. … My sense is we’re going to double next year easily, then it will just go from there.”

One issue is potentialy making the Youth on Course initiative work for facilities that have “kids play free” programs already in place. It’s possible moving forward that Youth on Course can help such facilities by using subsidy dollars for marketing and advertising such programs.

“Today just proves we need to be nimble to adjust,” Mate said after hearing some feedback from public course operators.

But generally speaking, Mate sees great promise for Youth on Course — and the potential for considerable growth, both locally and beyond.

“It’s such a small footprint of courses doing it (so far in Colorado), but the ones that were — like Dan here — just loved it,” Mate said. “I’d love to see more of the Youth on Course stuff in windows, but I just think we did a really good job of setting the stage for next year.

“This group today (at the Public Course Operators Meeting) is our core audience for that because it’s not something you offer through private clubs. It’s a public golf initiative. That’s one of the reasons I love it. If it wasn’t for public golf, I wouldn’t be a golfer. And if wasn’t for municipal golf, I wouldn’t be a golfer. This is my home here.”

And at facilities like Meadow Hills, the bottom line is that Youth on Course helped increase rounds among junior golfers — which is exactly what the initiative is all about.

“They played a lot more,” O’Shaghnessy said of participants. “You’re just taking the number of rounds up. If they played two or three times — he or she has that many dollars — and now they have more dollars (thanks to the subsidy) and they play five, six, seven times. We definitely saw that.

“I don’t know if it brought a new player into (the game) — there are other avenues to get kids in — but an established kid that wanted to play heard about this program, signed up and played more.”

Public Course Operators Meeting Notes: Fifty-two people attended the Nov. 1 Colorado Public Golf Operators Meeting at Meadow Hills (left). As always, much of the discussion at the event was centered around best practices — and bouncing ideas off one another — so that public operators can run as efficiently as possible. Also, attendees were brought up to date on programs and activities operated by the CGA, Colorado PGA and the Junior Golf Alliance of Colorado. During the winter and early spring, the CGA compiles data from a rounds and revenue survey of the public golf operators that gives a sense of the general direction of the golf business in the state.

The trajectory of the three-year-old Junior Golf Alliance of Colorado is reminiscent of watching the ascendance of a tee shot hit by Dustin Johnson on Protracer.

A steady, impressive rise to the sky.

The JGAC, an organization founded and run by the CGA and the Colorado PGA, largely wrapped up its year with its Tour Championship and season-ending banquet on Oct. 7 at Denver Country Club. And it was an impressive season in numerous respects.

In fact, most of the numbers for Alliance-related events and programs were up substantially in 2018, year over year:

— Membership — which is now divided into three levels (Tour, Series and Introductory), depending on the skill and needs of given participants — hit 995 in 2018. That’s an 11 percent jump from 2018.

— At the various levels, there were 5,007 entries for JGAC events, up 12 percent form last year.

— This year, the JGAC oversaw 106 events, including 10 Drive, Chip & Putt qualifiers and the PGA Jr. League state championship.

— Speaking of Drive, Chip & Putt, there were 1,286 participants in 2018, up 18 percent from last year.

— In PGA Jr. League, 1,849 players competed, 29 percent more than in 2017. A total of 157 teams joined in, up 19 percent from last year.

— Fifteen courses in Colorado participated in the first year of Youth on Course in the state, with 658 rounds of subsidized golf (so far) on the books, and $3,864 in subsidies paid to the courses. Youth on Course makes golf more accessible to juniors by capping their cost for a round at $5 at participating facilities, possibly with some date/time restrictions. Then a subsidy of a similar amount per round is paid to the participating course.

— And funding has been approved for 10,053 kids to participate in the Colorado PGA Golf in Schools Program, which is supported by all the Allied Golf Associations in the state. The final number of participants for 2018 is to be determined as fall programming continues. Golf in Schools introduces kids to the game each school year through their P.E. classes at school.

“Our success is shown through our growth and our numbers and different things like that,” said Ashley Barnhart, the CGA’s director of junior competitions, who helps oversee the JGAC along with many other staffers and interns from the Colorado PGA and the CGA. “And I think people are becoming really familiar with our platform, which helps. There’s a lot of word of mouth. Coaches, instructors and people like that are becoming active in the program, which is what we really set out to do. I think we had a great year because of that.”

Beyond organizational success, JGAC members had some major individual and team accomplishments in 2018:

— For the first time in 44 years of competing in the boys Junior America’s Cup, the Colorado team won the competition against other squads from throughout the western U.S., as well as Canada and Mexico. Doubling the accomplishment, Dillon Stewart of Fort Collins claimed the individual title in the event. Also competing on the Colorado team (left) were Cal McCoy of Highlands Ranch, Davis Bryant of Aurora and Walker Franklin of Broomfield, Bryant is now a freshman on the Colorado State University golf team while McCoy is playing for the University of Denver. Stewart, who just won the 5A individual state high school title while his Fossil Ridge squad earned the team championship, is expected next month to sign a letter of intent to play college golf at perennial powerhouse Oklahoma State starting in the fall of 2019.

— The JGAC hosted the Girls Junior Americas Cup for the first time in 18 years as Hiwan Golf Club in Evergreen brought together some of the best girls players from the western U.S., Canada and Mexico. The team representing Colorado finished fifth out of 18 in the event, its best showing in five years.

— For just the second time in the short history of the Drive, Chip & Putt initiative, three Coloradans have qualified for the same National Championship. Three years after a trio of Coloradans competed in the national DCP event at Augusta National, Caitlyn Chin of Greenwood Village, Chunya “Bead” Boonta of Centennial and Grady Ortiz of Colorado Springs will do so in the 2019 event that will be held April 7 on the eve of the Masters. Each advanced through three qualifying events in 2018. Chin, who was one of the three Coloradans who qualified for nationals in 2016, will return next spring, making her the first player from the Centennial State to competed in the finals twice.

— Stewart claimed two AJGA titles in 2018. In June, he became the first Coloradan to win the boys championship at the AJGA Hale Irwin Colorado Junior. Then in early September, he prevailed at the AJGA Junior at Big Sky in Montana, coincidentally the same state where he won the Junior America’s Cup title. Another Coloradan that scored an AJGA victory in 2018 was Sofia Choi of Littleton, who won the AJGA Preview at Waubeeka in Massachusetta in early May.

— Also winning a significant title on a larger stage in 2018 was Nicholas Pevny of Aspen, who took the top spot in the boys 12-13 division of the Optimist International Junior Golf Championships in Florida in July.

— Another notable accomplishment came earlier this month when Lauren Lehigh of Loveland was among 12 girls — and 24 junior golfers overall — who were named to the 2018 Transamerica Scholastic Junior All-America Team by the AJGA. The honor is given to a very select group of junior golfers from all over the country and the world who particularly excel on the golf course, in the classroom and in the community. Lehigh’s cumulative GPA for her first three years of high school is 4.116, and her best score on the SAT has been 1,430. She was later named the JGAC’s 2018 Girls Player of the Year, while Stewart took the honor on the boys side.

— Hadley Ashton of Erie had an outstanding showing at a prestigious international tournament as she finished fifth in the girls 9-10 division at the IMG Academy Junior World Championships in the San Diego area.

— In May, Emma Bryant of Eaglecrest won the 5A girls state high school title as a freshman. The amazing thing about the accomplishment was that older brother Davis Bryant had won the 5A boys title last fall — in the same school year. It was the first time two players with the same surname have won the boys and girls state individual prep championships in one school year. (The Bryants are pictured at left.)

— Charlotte Hillary of Cherry Hills Village and Hailey Schalk of Erie, both high school sophomores at the time, made match play but lost in the round of 32 at the U.S. Women’s Amateur Four-Ball Championship in late April.

(All the award winners recognized at the JGAC’s recent banquet are listed below.)

While the junior golf season is nearly over in Colorado, there are some events held in mid and late October. For instance, the JGAC Parent/Child tournaments are scheduled for Oct. 27-28 at Indian Tree Golf Course in Arvada. And last Saturday, an Optimist Junior Tour event was held at Green Valley Ranch Golf Club in Denver, where 23 qualifying spots for the 2019 Optimist International Junior Golf Championships at Trump National Doral Resort in Miami were at stake.

The age-group winners included three Coloradans: Brandon Bervig of Colorado Springs (boys 16-18), Morgan Ryan of Centennial (girls 14-18) and Tyler Tyson of Arvada (boys 14-15).

The golfer from Loveland was among 12 girls — and 24 junior golfers overall — to be named to the 2018 Transamerica Scholastic Junior All-America Team by the AJGA. Since 1988, the honor has been given out to junior golfers who particularly excel on the golf course, in the classroom and in the community.

“These 24 exceptional young men and women are impressive on so many levels,” said Brian Forbes, director of sponsorships for Transamerica. “They exemplify sportsmanship on the golf course and citizenship in their schools and in their communities.”

Lehigh, a senior at Loveland High School, earned the honor by placing in the top five in an AJGA open or invitational, then based on the following criteria: standardized test scores, grade-point average, school leadership and community service.

The 2018 Transamerica Scholastic Junior All-America team has an average AJGA-adjusted GPA of 4.6, an average SAT score of 1,493.64 and an average ACT score of 34.62. Lehigh’s cumulative GPA for her first three years of high school is 4.116, and her best score on the SAT has been 1,430.

The honorees hail from California to Massachusetts and from Texas and Florida to Ontario, Canada — in addition to two from China.

The Transamerica Scholastic Junior All-America Team will be honored at the Rolex Junior All-America Awards Banquet on Nov. 18 in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. Those named to the team earn a spot in the prestigious Rolex Tournament of Champions, which will be contested at PGA National Resort in Palm Beach Gardens Nov. 17-22.

Golfers who have been named to the Transamerica Scholastic Junior All-America Team in the past include Matt Kuchar (1994), Casey Martin (1989) and Cristie Kerr (1994).

Lehigh finished third — the best showing by any Colorado girl — in June at the AJGA Hale Irwin Colorado Junior at Walnut Creek Golf Preserve in Westminster.

Lehigh sits atop the Junior Golf Alliance of Colorado’s 2018 points standings for the Girls Junior Tour. A verbal commitment to the University of New Mexico, Lehigh won the girls division of the Colorado Junior Match Play, one of the four JGAC majors. During the course of 2018 at JGAC-related events, she’s won three times, placed second seven times and third three times. One of the runner-ups was in her title defense at the 4A state high school tournament.

Lehigh, a member of the Hale Irwin Player Program at CommonGround Golf Course for three years, helped lead Colorado to a fifth-place finish as a team at the Girls Junior Americas Cup competition at Hiwan Golf Club in Evergreen, where Lehigh tied for 14th place individually. She finished 13th nationally in Big I National Championship.
 

For the top players age 14-18, on tap is the fourth Colorado major of the year, the JGAC Tour Championship, set for Saturday and Sunday (Oct. 6-7) at Denver Country Club. For the best golfers 13 and under, it’ll be the Junior Ryder Cup team event this weekend at CommonGround Golf Course in Aurora.

Then on Sunday evening, after the conclusion of both events, the JGAC’s season-ending banquet will be held at Denver CC.

At the 36-hole Tour Championship, the field will feature the winners of three 2018 JGAC majors and four state high school titles this year.

The 2018 major junior champions entered this weekend are all on the girls side and include Hailey Schalk of Erie (Colorado Junior PGA), Katie Berrian of Castle Rock (Colorado Junior Amateur) and Lauren Lehigh of Loveland (Colorado Junior Match Play). Lehigh leads the JGAC Girls Junior Tour points list for 2018.

As for entrants who are state high school champions from 2018, there’s Micah Stangebye of Montrose (4A) and Jackson Klutznick of Denver (3A) on the boys side, and Emma Bryant of Aurora (5A) and Schalk (3A) on the girls.

There are also a couple of past JGAC Tour Championship winners entered this weeked — Charlotte Hillary of Cherry Hills Village from 2016 and Schalk from last year. Schalk was the 2017 JGAC Girls Player of the Year.

Others scheduled to compete in the Tour Championship are Colorado Junior America’s Cup player Walker Franklin of Broomfield and 5A runner-up Connor Jones of Westminster and Caroline Jordaan of Lakewood.

One player who won’t be at Denver Country Club is 2018 JGAC Boys Junior Tour points list leader Dillon Stewart of Fort Collins, who won the 5A boys state high school title on Tuesday. Instead, he’s competing in the prestigious Ping Invitational at Karsten Creek in Stillwater, Okla. Coincidentally, he’ll be playing his college golf in Stillwater — at Oklahoma State — starting in the fall of 2019.

As for the Junior Ryder Cup at CommonGround, kids age 13 and under will battle it out, with teams designated Team USA and Team Europe. There will be three sessions — nine-hole four-ball and nine-hole foursomes on Saturday, then 18-hole singles matches on Sunday.

Among the Junior Ryder Cup competitors will be three winners of 2018 Junior Series Championships — Hadley Ashton of Erie (11-13), Matai Naqica of Centennial (11-13) and Andre Dumonteil of Centennial (10 and under).

Peruse the list of winners for the Junior Golf Alliance of Colorado’s Junior Series Championship, and it’s an impressive group.

There’s Jennifer Kupcho, a three-time champ, who won the Women’s NCAA Division I individual title in May.

There’s Elizabeth Wang, who earlier this week advanced to the round of 16 at the U.S. Women’s Amateur.

And there’s Coby Welch, who just finished second in the CGA Amateur and who will be playing in next week’s U.S. Amateur along with another Junior Series winner, AJ Ott.

The kids who won Junior Series Championships on Saturday can look at those names on the trophy (left) and dream of having similar success in years to come.

“That’s amazing how those players won this,” said Hadley Ashton of Erie, who captured the girls 11-13 title on Saturday. “I think about that, but I try to stay in the moment and win as many as I can. I try to get better as I get older because the competition gets harder.”

Among the six champions on Saturday — two each in three age groups — was one (Andre Dumonteil of Centennial, left) who became just the fifth player to win three Junior Series titles, regardless of age, joining Kupcho, Welch, Somin Lee and Ashleigh Wilson.

Another champ, Traejan Andrews of Windsor, became the 10th player to win two or more Junior Series Championships.

And another, Ashton, claimed the 11-13 Junior Series title despite being just 10 years old.

All told, the following six players earned championships:

14-18 tournament at Eaton County Club — Andrews (boys), Jessica Mason of Westminster (girls).

11-13 tournament at Eaton CC — Matai Naqica of Centennial (boys), Ashton (girls).

10 and under tournament at Heather Gardens Golf Course in Aurora — Dumonteil (boys), Taylor Hale of Eagle (girls).

Here’s the breakdown:

Ashton, Naqica Rule 11-13: Ashton won’t turn 11 until next month, but you’d never know it by the way she’s dominated the competition in the 11-13 Junior Series this year. Including Saturday, she’s won 12 times in 14 tournaments.

At Eaton Country Club, Ashton shot back-to-back rounds of 78 for a 14-over-par 156 total. That gave her a four-stroke victory the year after she placed third in the 11-13 tournment as a nine-year-old.

“This means a lot,” said Ashton, who will start sixth grade at Erie Middle School this coming week. “I’ve always wanted to win this one, especially when I started in the 10 and unders. This means a lot to do it as a 10 year old in the 11-13 Series.”

In her own age division, Ashton (below) has fared very well this summer in major national and international tournaments, finishing fifth in the girls 9-10 division at the IMG Academy Junior World Championships, and 12th among 10-year-old girls at the U.S. Kids World Championship.

“It’s definitely been a special summer,” she said. “The thing I’m most proud of is finishing fifth at IMGs because it was really hard competition. And I’m also really proud of winning these (Junior Series) tournaments.”

Placing second in the girls 11-13 competition on Saturday was Kaitlin Zingler of Lakewood, who finished four behind Ashton after a second-round 79.

In the boys 11-13 tournament, Naqica (pictured above with Ashton) started the day five shots out of the lead and wasn’t helping his cause much through 13 holes as he stood 2 over par for the day. But then things changed in a hurry.

The 12-year-old put together a torrid stretch where he went 5 under par in four holes, going eagle-birdie-birdie-birdie. He holed a 70-yard shot with a wedge for his eagle on the par-5 14th, then sank birdie putts of 10, 3 and 3 feet on the next three holes.

“That’s the first time I’ve ever had a stretch like that,” Naqica said. “That gave me a lot of confidence.”

Despite a bogey on his final hole, he shot a 2-under-par 69 — the lowest round of the tournament — and won by two with a 4-over-par 146 total.

Naqica wasn’t expecting to have a chance to prevail on Saturday after trailing by five shots after the first round. But that back-nine stretch worked wonders.

“I was expecting to come in third or second today,” he said after his fourth victory of the JGAC season.

And it was certainly a big-time improvement on how he fared last year in this event.

“I came in second-to-last last year at Fox Hill with a 92 and an 87, so this is great,” he said.

Three players shared second place among the 11-13 boys on Saturday — first-round leader Max Weisser of Denver, Andrew White of Centennial and Blake Sullivan fo Castle Pines.

White played his final seven holes in 5 under par, making four straight birdies starting on No. 14.

Andrews, Mason Prevail in 14-18: Andrews, a member of the Hale Irwin Player Program at CommonGround Golf Course, suffered a frustrating loss in last year’s 11-13 Junior Series Championship as he three-putted the first playoff hole. But he gained some redemption on Saturday with his victory in the boys 14-18 tournament.

Andrews (pictured at left with Mason) shot a 1-over-par 72 on Saturday to post a 5-over 147 total, good for a three-stroke win, his second of the JGAC season.

“Of course it feels really good, for sure” after what happened in 2017, the 14-year-old said. “I just stayed more calm this year.”

Helping the cause on Friday was driving the 303-yard 12th green and two-putting from 10 feet for birdie. He also two-putted for another birdie at the par-5 16th.

It’s been a good week for Andrews, who won his first high school tournament by eight shots on Thursday as a freshman for Northridge.

“My friends were sending me screen shots of the (high school) rankings board,” he noted. “I was like, ‘Dude, it’s one tournament.'”

As noted, Saturday marked Andrews second Junior Series victory, having won in the 10-and-under ranks in 2014.

“It’s definitely special,” he said of the accomplishment.

Maxwell Lange of Golden finished runner-up in the nine-player field, closing with a 74 for a 150 total.

On the girls side in 14-18, Mason went wire-to-wire for a seven-stroke victory.

The 14-year-old freshman-to-be at Holy Family High School posted a final-round 84 for a 164 total.

“It means a lot,” Mason said after her third victory of the JGAC season. “I didn’t play great, but it’s still a good opportunity to win.”

Mason has only been playing golf to any significant extent for two years, so to win the Junior Series title is no small feat. And it was her first time playing in this event, no less.

“This year was when I said, ‘OK, let’s start doing it.'” she said of tournament golf. “I’ve come a long way” in two years.

Finishing second Saturday was Amira Badruddin of Parker, who carded a second-round 83 for a 171 total.

3-Peat for Dumonteil, Title for Hale in 10 and Under: A year after Wilson became the first person to win three straight titles in the Junior Series 10 and under Championship, Dumonteil posted a three-peat of his own.

He won last year’s title in this event by six strokes, and nearly matched that margin on Saturday at Heather Gardens. Dumonteil shot a 3-under-par 63, good for a five-shot win.

The 10-year-old made an eagle, four birdies (including three straight) and three bogeys on the day.

It was the ninth win of the JGAC season for Dumonteil.

Ross Miller of Highlands Ranch placed second at 68 after a three-birdie day.

In the girls 10 and under tournament, Hale (left) fired a 7-over-par 73 and recorded a one-stroke win. The 10-year-old made three birdies on Saturday.

It was Hale’s third victory of 2018 in JGAC tournaments.

Livia Pett of Denver was runner-up at 74.

Leading the 11-13 boys competition at the halfway point is Max Weisser of Denver. Meanwhile, in the 14-18 Junior Series Championship at the same site, Jack Larson of Arvada is setting the pace for the boys and Jessica Mason of Westminster for the girls.

Ashton, who has won 11 11-13 JGAC tournaments this year, shot a 7-over-par 78 on Friday, making birdie on her final hole. She leads Bead Boonta of Centennial by two strokes heading into Saturday’s final round of the girls 11-13 tournament. Earlier this summer, Ashton finished fifth in the girls 9-10 division at the IMG Academy Junior World Championships, and 12th among 10-year-old girls at the U.S. Kids World Championship.

In the boys 11-13 event in Eaton, the 13-year-old Weisser fired a 1-over-par 72, carding four birdies in the process. Andrew White of Centennial sits in second place after a 74 despite a quadruple-bogey 8 on his final hole.

In the 14-18 tournament, Larson posted a 2-over-par 73, with two birdies on his card. He leads Kaden Ford of Colorado Springs and 2017 runner-up Traejan Andrews of Windsor by two shots each. Ford finished sixth in his age division in the Drive, Chip and Putt Nationals Finals at Augusta National this year.

On the girls side in 14-18, Mason shot a 9-over-par 80. That’s good for a five-stroke advantage over Lois Sheaffer of Greeley.

While the 11-13 and 14-18 events will conclude on Saturday, the entire tournament for players 10 and under will be contested at Heather Gardens Golf Course in Aurora.

On Wednesday, Welch figuratively used his grappling skills to wrestle away the boys title in the Colorado Junior Amateur from Dillon Stewart of Fort Collins, who threw down the gauntlet in the final round by shooting a 5-under-par 31 on the front nine and a 6-under-par 66 overall at Todd Creek Golf Club in Thornton.

So what did Welch, playing four groups behind Stewart on Wednesday, do in response?

He just posted his best tournament round ever — for the second straight day — by shooting a 66 of his own to overtake Stewart on the back nine and claim the boys championship.

“This week is actually the first time I’ve broken 70 in a tournament,” the 17-year-old said. “To come out and shoot 68 yesterday and 66 today was phenomenal.”

On the girls side, Katie Berrian of Castle Rock did some nifty final-round work of her own to claim the trophy. The 16-year-old rebounded from a second-round 82 with an even-par 72 to emerge from a tightly-packed leaderboard to earn the victory.

“This is one of my biggest wins definitely, especially since it was a three-day tournament. And it was a major championship,” Berrian noted. “I feel really accomplished, and I’m going to celebrate my accomplishment. Now I’m really confident, so I can go into more tournaments feeling like, ‘I did that, so I can do it again.'”

In both the cases of Berrian and Welch, Wednesday marked their first major titles in Junior Golf Alliance of Colorado events. (The champions are pictured together above.)

Welch’s 68-66 in the final two rounds netted him a 10-under-par 206 total and the victory, which he called the biggest of his young career. And to make it even more impressive, Wednesday’s 66 came despite being 2 over par after three holes of the final round. That means he went 8 under par for his last 15 holes.

“On hole 7, my playing partner said, ‘Dillon shot 5 under on the front.’ I was like, ‘Oh Jeez, I’ve got to start making some more birdies,'” said Welch (left). “I had birdied three in a row (4-6) and I birdied No. 8. When I came to the back nine, I knew I was one or two down to Dillon at that point. I told myself to ‘keep hitting good shots. You’re playing well and you’re hitting good putts.'”

Welch, the younger brother of 2015 Colorado Boys Junior Player of the Year Coby Welch, finished the day with nine birdies and three bogeys. And he birdied 16 from 5 feet and 18 from 8 feet following an awkward bunker shot — all after Stewart was finished to break a tie and account for the final margin of victory.

Stewart (bottom), winner of the AJGA Hale Irwin Colorado Junior last month, likewise went 68-66 the last two rounds at Todd Creek, checking in at 208 for second place. The future Oklahoma State golfer was 7 under par for the day through 14 holes, but took a double bogey on No. 15 after hitting his second shot into the hazard in front of the green following an errant tee shot into the native grass right of the fairway.

“I played solid and gave myself an opportunity to win,” said Stewart, who will play in the U.S. Junior Amateur next week. “You can’t complain when somebody backs up your 66 with another 66. There’s nothing you can say.”

Welch said he plans on playing college golf — brother Coby is doing so at the University of Northern Colorado — but doesn’t know where yet.

“This will hopefully help” with offers, he said.

Asked if he likes golf or wrestling better, Welch said, “I definitely prefer golf. I’m pretty good at wrestling because we started when we were younger. My dad (Tim) is the head wrestling coach (at Valor). But I definitely think golf is more fun.”

First-round leader TJ Shehee of Mead shared third place at 210 with Ryan Liao of Littleton as both fired 69s on Wednesday.

In the girls tournament, Berrian (left) was two behind entering the final day. But after going 2 over par on the front nine, she played the back in a bogey-free 2 under par, making birdies on 14 and 16. The 16-year-old, who placed third in the 5A girls state high school tournament in May, finished with a 10-over-par 226 total after going 72-82-72.

“Yesterday my alignment was off,” said Berrian, a former 11-13 Colorado Junior Series Champion. “I made a little tweak in my setup. Today on the range I put an alignment stick down, picked a target and dialed it in. It helped me. I was back on the pins today just like the first day.

“I was really focused on my game. I never gave up, even on the front nine where I was 2 over, which wasn’t what I was looking for. But I stayed focused and was patient. I waited for my birdies and I got them, finishing 2 under on the back.

“It was to my advantage that I wasn’t in the final group so that I could focus on me and what I was doing rather than where I was on the leaderboard. I focused yesterday on where I was on the leaderboard and that didn’t really work for me.”

Down the stretch on Wednesday, Berrian birdied the 16th hole, then sank a 10-foot par save on 17 after being over the green. And a 3 1/2-foot par putt on 18 proved crucial as well.

Josie Baker (left) of Sherman Oaks, Calif., a JGAC member who will play her college golf at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland starting in the fall, went 3 over par in four holes Wednesday starting on No. 10 to lose her grip on the lead. She birdied No. 18 to close with a 75, which left her a stroke back of Berrian at 227.

“I definitely have mixed feelings,” said Baker, whose parents are from Colorado and who lives in the Centennial State for a couple of months during the summer. “I thought I played pretty solid all three days. To string together three rounds in the mid-70s is always a pretty good tournment. But obviously I’m disappointed. Today I didn’t hit the ball my best. Obviously, I would have liked to have won. Katie played a great round.”

Marie Jordaan of Lakewood, who shared the lead with Baker and Meghan Vogt of Broomfield after two rounds, finished third at 229 after a final-round 77.

The 2018 major championship season for the Junior Golf Alliance of Colorado started off a lot like how the 2017 year ended. And, for that matter, how the 2017 season began.

For the second straight year at the Air Force Academy’s Eisenhower Golf Club, the titles in the Colorado Junior PGA Championship went to Davis Bryant of Aurora in the boys ranks and to Hailey Schalk of Erie in the girls division.

Bryant became the first boys player to win consecutive Colorado Junior PGAs since Steven Kupcho in 2010 and ’11. And Schalk became the first girl to repeat since Steven’s sister, Jennifer Kupcho, did the honors in 2012 and ’13. Jennifer Kupcho, of course, recently won the women’s NCAA individual title.

Overall, Bryant is the fourth boy to win the Coloado Junior PGA twice in a row, while Schalk is the seventh girl. (The two champions are pictured at left.)

“To do this two years in a row is awesome and amazing. It’s a great feeling,” said Bryant, who was likely competing in his final JGAC major as he has conflicts with the remaining tournaments in 2018. “To play as consistently as I have and to win by four shots … I was real motivated after last week when I got second place to Dillon (Stewart) at the AJGA. That motivated me to come here and take care of business, which I was able to do.”

Said Schalk: “It’s really cool to win two years in a row because that doesn’t happen very often. For me to do what Jennifer Kupcho did is really special.”

Even more notably, both Bryant and Schalk have won the last four JGAC majors in which they’ve competed.

“That’s pretty cool,” said Bryant (left). “It’s like a grand slam in a way. To win four (straight) that I’ve played in … it hasn’t really sunk in yet. But I’m really happy I was able to get it done.”

Schalk likewise relishes that feat.

“I’m definitely proud of that accomplishment,” said the junior-to-be at Holy Family High School. “It’s cool to be able to win my last four because that just doesn’t really happen (often).”

Adding even more to the significance of Bryant and Schalk’s victories on Wednesday, their dads — Matt Bryant (Green Valley Ranch Golf Club) and Matt Schalk (Colorado National Golf Club) — are Colorado PGA general managers, making their kids repeating in the Colorado Junior PGA all the more appropriate.

On Wednesday, after taking an eight-stroke lead into the final round, Davis Bryant prevailed by four shots. And after leading by three after two rounds, Schalk emerged with a six-stroke victory.

In both cases, it continued an early-season trend of relative routs in the top junior championships in Colorado. Last week in the AJGA Hale Irwin Colorado Junior, the boys margin of victory was six and the girls seven. And at last month’s girls state high school tournaments, the margins were seven (5A), six (3A) and, in the lone exception, one (4A).

On a windy final day at Eisenhower GC, Bryant shot a 1-over-par 73 to post a 6-under 210 total. The 18-year-old, who will play his college golf at Colorado State University beginning in the fall, made two birdies and three bogeys on Wednesday.

“Today was the hardest round I’ve played in a while,” Bryant said. “Knowing you have an eight-shot lead, and the last thing you want to do is blow the lead. It crept in my head a little last night.

“But I love this golf course. I play real well here. I understand the greens and know where to miss it and where not to miss it. I did a really good job of that over the three days.”

Cal McCoy of Highlands Ranch, a University of Denver-bound golfer, crept within three strokes of Bryant with three holes left on Wednesday and checked in at 214 overall after closing with a 69.

“I wanted to catch Davis, but I knew it was going to be very hard to do, especially with how well he can play,” McCoy said. “I just wanted to put some pressure on him and make him think a little more over some short putts and some drives. If I caught up to him, great. If I didn’t, I knew second is, I guess, good enough. Even though you want to win, it’s tough when you’re eight back with one round left.”

Jack Castiglia of Lakewood, who recently advanced to the U.S. Open Sectional Qualifying, placed third at 221 after a final-round 73.

In the girls division, the 16-year-old Schalk (left) shot her second consecutive 77 to finish at 228. The two-time 3A state high school champion made 13 pars and five bogeys on Wednesday.

Caroline Jordaan of Lakewood, the 2015 Colorado Junior PGA Champion, was runner-up at 234 as she sank a 10-foot birdie putt on No. 18 to edge out 2017 4A state high school champ Lauren Lehigh of Loveland. Jordaan posted a final-round 80 for a 234 total, while Lehigh placed third at 235 after a 79.

“I definitely tried to come in first, but I struggled on the front nine a little bit,” said Jordaan, who will play golf at DU starting in 2019. “I tried to keep it together on the back to get in the top two.”

In addition to the Colorado Junior PGA Championship titles being on the line on Wednesday, the top two boys finishers and the top two girls landed spots in the national Junior PGA Championship that will be held in Kentucky. The national girls tournament is set for July 9-12 at Kearney Hill Golf Links in Lexington and the boys for July 31-Aug. 3 at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville. Valhalla has hosted three PGA Championships and a Ryder Cup.

Bryant and McCoy gained the boys berths and Schalk and Jordaan the girls. Bryant finished 14th in the 2017 national Junior PGA, while McCoy and Schalk missed the cut in their respecive tournaments. Jordaan missed the cut on her first trip to the national Junior PGA, in 2015.

“I’m really excited,” she said. “I’m happy I ended up getting a spot because I didn’t play my best golf. I’m happy it worked out in the end.”

Said McCoy: “It feels pretty good” to go to a national championship. “Whenever you’re playing for a bigger tournament, there’s always added pressure. This year I want to do a little better, but the first stage was to get into it, and I’m feeling pretty good.”

Another Coloradan who has landed a spot in the national Junior PGA is Charlotte Hillary of Cherry Hills Village, who’s competing this week in the AJGA Rolex Girls Junior Championship in Park City, Utah.

Next week, there will be an encore of sorts, limited primarily to Colorado residents. The first Junior Golf Alliance of Colorado major of 2018, the Colorado Junior PGA Championship, again will be hosted by Eisenhower Golf Club at the Blue Course at the Air Force Academy. The 54-hole event runs Monday through Wednesday (June 11-13).

Both of last year’s Colorado Junior PGA champions will be back to defend their titles — Davis Bryant of Aurora and Hailey Schalk of Erie, who both went on to win every major in which they played in 2017 and earned JGAC Player of the Year honors.

The boys tournament at Eisenhower could feature a rematch of a friendly rivalry that has blossomed over the last year — between Bryant and Dillon Stewart of Fort Collins, who on Thursday won the AJGA Hale Irwin Colorado Junior at Walnut Creek Golf Preserve.

The two have finished 1-2 in three prominent events over the last 12 months, with Bryant winning the Colorado Junior PGA and the 5A state high school meet, and Stewart the AJGA tournament this week. Bryant will play his college golf at Colorado State University starting this fall, while Stewart is planning to join the Oklahoma State squad in 2019.

Also in the boys field at Eisenhower are Jack Castiglia of Lakewood, who joined Bryant in advancing to U.S. Open Sectional Qualifying; Walker Franklin of Broomfield, who finished fifth in the AJGA Irwin Colorado Junior; University of Denver-bound Cal McCoy of Highlands Ranch; 2017 U.S. Junior Amateur qualier TJ Shehee of Mead (and Bryant); and Kaden Ford of Colorado Springs, who played in the national Drive, Chip & Putt finals this year.

On the girls side, the field is also full of top players. In addition to Schalk, who won her second straight 3A state high school title last month, there’s 2017 4A state high school champ Lauren Lehigh of Loveland, who placed third in the recent AJGA event; 2015 Junior PGA winner Caroline Jordaan of Denver; reigning 5A girls high school champ Emma Bryant of Aurora; 2017 5A winner Amy Chitkoksoong of Aurora; and Kelsey Webster of Boulder, who will play at the University of Colorado beginning in the fall.
