Victory in Arizona

Zahkai Brown has conditional status on the Web.com Tour in 2016, but that, at best, is a part-time gig this year. In the meantime, he’s trying to make hay in other tournaments.

This week, the Arvada resident hit the mark with a victory on the Dreamchasers Tour’s Golf Club at Estrella Championship in Goodyear, Ariz.

The former Colorado State University golfer prevailed by four Wednesday after posting rounds of 67-67-68 for a 14-under-par 202 total.

The victory was worth $3,850 for the 2013 Colorado Open, which is now sponsored by CoBank.

Also scoring a top-three finish this week on the mini tours was another former CSU golfer, Cameron Harrell of Colorado Springs, who tied for third place Thursday in the OnCore Gateway Tour’s Patrick Gibbons Handmade Classic in Chandler, Ariz.

The showing was Harrell’s second straight top-five on the Gateway Tour. This time, he made birdies on his last three holes of the tournament and carded rounds of 72-67-66 for an 8-under-par 205 total, which left him three strokes behind champion Shane Smith. Harrell earned $2,100.
