Spencer Painton, the 2013 CGA Junior Player of the Year, will transfer to the University of Colorado from the University of Kansas, he and the CU men’s golf team said on Twitter on Wednesday.
“Proud to announce that I signed to play Golf for CU in the fall. Very excited to represent my home state and be a Buff!” Painton said on Twitter and Instagram.
The former 5A state high school champion from Regis Jesuit was part of the Hale Irwin Elite Player program at CommonGround Golf Course. Last summer, he qualified for the U.S. Amateur.
Painton will be a junior at CU in the fall. He played his first two college seasons at KU under former Colorado State coach Jamie Bermel. Painton competed in six tournaments in all for Kansas, with a scoring average of 74.8.
