Making History

Griffin Barela of Lakewood and Hailey Schalk of Erie will go down as the winners of the first-ever Junior Golf Alliance of Colorado tournaments.

The much-delayed start to the JGAC season — due to weather issues earlier in the spring — led to a Junior Tour tournament at Todd Creek Golf Club in Thornton being the first tournament for the new JGAC, which was founded by the CGA and the Colorado PGA, with support from the CWGA.

Barela posted rounds of 70-73 Saturday and Sunday for a 1-under-par 143 total to win the boys event by three strokes over Dillon Stewart of Fort Collins. For complete boys results, CLICK HERE.

In the girls tournament, Schalk went 78-74 and carded an 8-over-par 152 total for two rounds. Placing second, four back, was Caroline Jordaan of Cherry Hills Village. For all the girls results, CLICK HERE.
