For the fifth time since the turn of the century, the Colorado Women’s Golf Association has a repeat winner of its Player of the Year award. Jennifer Kupcho of Westminster follows McKenzie Dyslin (2001-02), Kelly Schaub (2005-06), Kim Eaton (2009-10) and Somin Lee (2011-12) into the history books. And she did it convincingly, winning the CWGA Stroke Play Championship by 21 shots and repeating as the CHSSA 4A girls’ high school champion by 10. After notching three top-10 finishes during her first semester at Wake Forest University, she is 86th in Golfweek’s Collegiate Individual Rankings and 73rd in the World Amateur Golf Rankings.

Another repeat winner, Kim Eaton, has now won six Senior Player of the Year awards—that’s every year but one since she turned 50 in 2009. Briefly “retired” in Arizona, the Colorado Golf Hall of Famer (who also has four Player of the Year trophies) returned to finish runner-up in the Senior Stroke Play and won the Arizona Women’s Golf Association’s Amateur Seniors Championship.
Mary Weinstein, currently a senior at Regis Jesuit High School, secured Junior Player of the Year honors on the strength of four CJGA victories in 2015, including the CWGA Junior Stroke Play and the CJGA Junior Series Championship. She finished second in the CJGA Tournament of Champions and notched the highest finish ever (15th) by a Colorado girl in the 15-17 age group at the IMG Academy Junior World Golf Championships at Torrey Pines.
