CU Women’s Golf Finishes Second At Ram Classic
Sep 10th
Led by seniors Jenny and Kristin Coleman, the University of Colorado women’s golf team finished second at the 17 team Colonel Wollenberg Ptarmigan Ram Classic. The Buffaloes finished two spots ahead of their first round position in their first tournament of the 2013 season.
After play was suspended during Monday’s second round due to weather, the Buffs improved in the final rounds here Tuesday. Colorado shaved off three strokes each round, finishing the 54-hole event at 18-over par 882 (297-294-291) at the par 72, 6,352-yard Ptarmigan Country Club.
“The team has made great progress from last year,” CU head coach Anne Kelly said. “We gave it a go today, didn’t quite finish it off, but I definitely see signs of progress. We know what areas we need to work on, and there’s definitely room for improvement. It’s a good kickoff to the season. Our goal coming into the year was to be in contention in every tournament that we play, and we were. Unfortunately, we didn’t quite get the win, but they played well. Jenny and Kristin (Coleman) really led the way for us.”
Jenny and Kristin Coleman are identical twins
With two players shooting under par in the final round, California continued its dominance to claim the team title, shooting a 9-over par 873 (291-296-286) for a nine stroke lead over Colorado. Illinois finished third with a 22-over par 886. UNLV moved up a spot from its first and second round finishes for fourth place with a 24-over par 888 total. New Mexico remained in contention in the opening rounds, but slid to fifth place in the final, shooting a 27-over par 891.
Jenny Coleman led the Buffs, shooting an even par 216 to tie for fifth. A birdie on the 15th hole in the second round helped her to an even par performance to begin the day. In the third round, she shot four birdies to lead her to a 1-under par 71 performance. Coleman led the Buffs with 12 total birdies.
Kristin Coleman was close behind, placing eighth after shooting a 1-over par 217. After shooting 1-over par 73 in the first round, she finished the final two shooting an even par. Through three rounds, Coleman shot nine birdies and 36 pars.
Allie Zech tied for 30th with an 11-over par 227 total. She struggled in her final holes of the second round, shooting a 5-over par 77, but improved in the final round with a 2-over par 74. Zech was the only golfer to record a birdie on the 17th hole in the third round, and one of just 13 total to do so on the par 4, 386-yard hole.
Alexis Keating and Jamie Oleksiew both tied for 27th, shooting 10-over par 226. Keating led the Buffs, shooting 37 pars. She added two strokes in the second round, but had her best performance in the final round, with a 2-over par 74. Oleksiew improved in the final two rounds, shooting 1- and 2-over par, respectively, after finishing 49th after her first round score of 7-over par 79.
Competing as an individual, Megan Haase finished tied for 65th with a 22-over par 238. She shot an 8-over par 80 in the second round and a 7-over par 79 in the third.
UNLV’s Dana Finkelstein took home the individual title, shooting a 4-under par 212 (71-70-71). California’s Nicola Roessler and New Mexico’s Sammi Stevens tied for second with a 3-under par 213. Cal’s Carly Childs finished fourth with a 1-under par 215. Leilanie Kim (Idaho) and Samantha Postillion (Illinois) tied CU’s Jenny Coleman for fifth after finishing an even par 216.
Next up for the Buffs is a trip to Albuquerque, N.M., for the Branch Law Firm/Dick McGuire Invitational on September 20-21.

Trujillo ties for for 11th at Wyoming Cowboy Classic
Feb 25th
PALM DESERT, Calif. — University of Colorado redshirt freshman Drew Trujillo shined here this weekend, tying for 11th in the Wyoming Cowboy Golf Classic which was concluded on Sunday.
The second-year team member Montrose had his best career tournament to date, a 1-over 217 which included his first collegiate round in the 60s, a 3-under par 69 on Sunday. That was one of just five rounds in the 60s on Sunday, when the average score on the 7,305-yard, par-72 Classic Club course layout was 76.13.
Pretty fancy dids for a “cowboy” golf tournament
He also “won” the tournament within the tournament, as he was the top individual among 15 playing here either without a full team or as an extra player for a team with more than five players. Trujillo was very consistent over the three day event, as he recorded his 76-72-69—217 scorecard by making eight birdies and 37 pars with only nine bogeys. He was one of only 18 players in the 100-man field to not record a single hole score worse than a bogey.
He was one of three CU individuals who participated in the meet.
Freshman Ross Thornton turned in a 76-75-80—231 effort, which tied him for 60th; he had 12 birdies, the most by a Buff this spring in a 54-hole tournament, but countered with just 23 pars to offset 14 bogeys, two doubles and three triples.
Junior Johnny Hayes improved a bit each day in fashioning an 80-78-74—232 score, tying him for 62nd. He effort this weekend included five birdies, 33 pars, 12 bogeys, three doubles and a triple.
“It was a great experience for all three guys,” CU head coach Roy Edwards said. “Even though Ross and Johnny didn’t play their best overall, they played some good golf in stretches. However, Drew Trujillo was solid all week an improved each day, and was particularly good in today’s final round. His bogeys were very small and correctable. I was very impressed with him the entire tournament.
TCU ran away with the team title, with its 19-under par 845 score good for a 19-stroke win over St. Mary’s, Calif. TCU’s Julien Brun claimed medalist honors with a 10-under par 206 score.
The entire Colorado team will return to action in two weeks, traveling to the Pacific Northwest to play in the Bandon (Ore.) Dunes Championship, March 8-10.

CU BUFF GOLFERS FINISH SECOND AT UNM TUCKER INVITATIONAL
Sep 29th
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — The University of Colorado men’s golf team moved up one spot into a second place finish but couldn’t catch host New Mexico as the Buffaloes finished runner-up for just the third time here as the 58th Annual New Mexico Tucker Invitational was completed here Saturday.
The Buffaloes entered the day in third place, 15 shots back of the Lobos, and pulled to within 11 strokes early; but the home team got hot in the middle of the round and pulled away, finishing with a 15-under par 848 team score for a 29-stroke victory over the Buffaloes. Colorado posted a 14-over team score of 878, while San Francisco, in second after two rounds, slipped to third with a 22-over 886 tally.
Colorado is one of three schools to have played in all 58 Tucker invitationals (along with host New Mexico and New Mexico State); the Buffs have never won here but did also finish second in 1956 and 1981.
Senior Jason Burstyn and sophomore David Oraee led the Buffaloes here, as both tied for seventh with 1-over par 217 scores on the 7,578-yard, par-72 UNM Championship golf course.
Burstyn closed his efforts with a 4-over 76, scoring two birdies and six bogeys with 10 pars; his 12 birdies led cu for the week as he posted his third top 10 finish in four meets this fall.
Oraee had three birdies, nine pars and six bogeys en route to his final round 75 (3-over), as he duplicated his finish earlier in the week at CU’s Mark Simpson Invitational. He also has three top 10 efforts this season.
Senior Beau Schoolcraft recorded the team’s best individual score for the second straight round, and was the only Buff under par in the final round with a 1-under 71; he played a solid 18 with three birdies and 13 pars against just bogeys to finish up with a 4-over 220 score which tied him for 13th place (his third top 20 finish this fall). He had eight birdies, a team-best 34 pars and 12 bogeys for the tourney.
Senior Derek Fribbs tied for 38th with a 75 Saturday for a 10-over 226 score. He wrapped things up with two birdies, 12 pars, three bogeys and a double. Freshman Philip Juel-Berg tied for 53rd after fashioning a 2-over 74 in the final round for a 14-over 230. He had two birdies, 12 pars and four bogeys Saturday.
Junior Johnny Hayes competed here as an individual, closing things out with a 5-over 77 (one birdie, 11 par, six bogeys). That also gave him a 14-over 230 total, thus tying Juel-Berg with a 53rd place finish. He had CU’s lone eagle here this weekend with four birdies and 30 pars.
“We got off to a good start and made up a couple of shots, but the New Mexico just hit the gas and ran away from everyone,” coach Roy Edwards said. “We knew the guys would be a little tired from a pretty long week (CU’s tournament was last Monday and Tuesday), and we kind of ran out of gas and didn’t play very well on the back nine. But it’s a credit to the guys to still go out there and shoot the fourth lowest round of the day and also move into second place. We still matched the highest we’ve ever finished here, and it had been three decades since we finished this high.
“I don’t think any team in the country would have beaten New Mexico today. So we’re excited about that.”
CU’s 7-over 295 score on Saturday trailed New Mexico’s 281, the best team round of the tournament, and Minnesota and UTEP’s rounds (294) by a single shot.
New Mexico’s Gavin Green recorded a final round 69 for a 7-under 209 total to win by one stroke over Minnesota’s Erik Van Rooyen, who closed with a 71 and a 210 score.
The Buffaloes, now 37-2 against Division I competition in three tournaments this fall, are off for two weeks until Oct. 8-9, when they will travel to Portland to take part in the Pac-12 Conference Fall Preview.
“Overall, it was a good, solid week for the Buffaloes,” Edwards added. “While we didn’t play our best today, Beau turned in a quality round and Jason and David had solid tournaments.”
