Last One for HealthONE

The 21st HealthONE Colorado Women’s Open (Aug. 26-28 at Green Valley Ranch Golf Club) will be the last of the Colorado Open championships sponsored by the healthcare giant, and chances are, it will produce a first-time winner. Last year’s victor (Kendall Dye) and low amateur (Jennifer Kupcho) won’t be competing, and as of press time, no previous champions had signed up. That doesn’t mean a weak field, however. Early commitments include Big Break champion Blair O’Neal, former Colorado junior and Pepperdine star Somin Lee, and newly minted pros like the delightfully named Scooby Liu. Complementing the event’s official three-day, Pebble Beach-like pro-am format, this year’s Open includes a one-day pro-am the day before the tournament. The event allows guests to play alongside the top participants in the Open without competing in the three-day tournament. As reported on page 14, starting next year, CoBank will be the title sponsor of all three Colorado Open Championships. coloradoopen.org.
