Bella Ridge Takes Shape
The first new golf course to be built on the front range in several years is falling into place
Brown Leads Colo. Open by 3 After 3 Rounds
Denver, CO: Colorado State University graduate Zahkai Brown of Arvada, CO fired a tournament record tying 8-under par 63 to separate himself from an exceptional field in the HealthONE Colorado Open at Green Valley Ranch Golf Club. Brown birdied half the holes on the golf course Saturday with just one bogie and a three-putt par on the difficult par-5 18th blemishing an otherwise stellar performance. His third round 63 (8-under) ties the third round tournament record at Green Valley Ranch and he’s just two off the low 54-hole total record set by University of Colorado product Derek Tolan in 2009.
Lurking quietly just three strokes back in second place is Canadian Tour player Joel Dahmen of Clarkston, WA who posted a respectable 2-under par 69 and is the only player in the field to post all three rounds in the 60s (66-68-69). A four-way tie for third place just five back includes 2009 champion Derek Tolan of Highlands Ranch, CO and current low amateur Steven Kupcho of Westminster, CO.
Sunday’s final round begins at 7:00am off both #1 and #10 tees with the leaders teeing off at 9:01am.
