Huffer Wins Her Second CoBank Colorado Women’s Open Title
Coloradan capitalizes on final hole for dramatic victory.
History repeated itself in Friday’s finale to the CoBank Colorado Women’s Open.
As she did in 2013, Becca Huffer overcame a five-shot deficit in the final round to win the event in a playoff. This time, however, the LPGA rookie from Denver faced a seemingly insurmountable task. Going into the final hole, she trailed the leader—17-year-old Yealimi Noh of Concord, Calif.—by three strokes.
Ladies Lead Off
For the first time since 2012, the CoBank Colorado Women’s Open will kick off the three-event CoBank Colorado Open Championship season. The field for the $150,000 championship—the richest in the country for a women’s state open, with a winner’s share of $50,000—will tee it up at Green Valley Ranch Golf Club May 29-31, swapping places in the schedule with the CoBank Colorado Senior Open, which will now take place August 28-30.
