Colorado Golf Association

Denver, CO: Doug Rohrbaugh of Carbondale, CO, fresh off this year’s victory in the Colorado Senior Open, posted a 5-under par 66 and stands in a tie for 2nd place two strokes behind first round leader Stephen Bidne of Roseville, MN. Rohrbaugh’s scorecard included six birdies and one bogey on the 7,253 yard, par 71 championship course at Green Valley Ranch. Leader Stephen Bidne did Rohrbaugh two better with eight birdies and just one bogey, leaving him atop the leaderboard at 7-under 64 after today’s opening round.

The other four players tied for 2nd had equally impressive scorecards. Dustin Mills of Arvada, CO, Brad Besler of Blessing, TX and Nathan Tyler of Tucson each carded 5 birdies with no bogies blemishing their cards. University of Denver graduate James Love of Calgary, AB Canada recorded seven birdies and a costly double bogie on the par-4 3rd hole.

Defending champion Derek Tolan of Highlands Ranch, CO shares 7th place with two other contestants just three back of Bidne at 4-under par 67. Joining Tolan are James Drew of Las Vegas and Hunter Sparks of Oklahoma City.

Twenty-nine other players broke par on the day including 2011 champion Ben Portie of Westminster, CO (-2, 69). Another 15 players shot even par 71 including 2000 champion Scott Petersen of Parker, CO, 2012 low amateur champ Steven Kupcho of Westminster, CO and 2010 low amateur Gunner Wiebe of Aurora, CO. Sixty players (and ties) will advance to weekend play after Friday’s second round cut, vying for their share of the $125,000 purse.
