Late Comeback

University of Colorado golfer Trevor Olkowski shot 69-67 in the last two rounds and tied for fifth on Wednesday out of an 88-man field in the Gobbler Amateur, an event co-founded by CU head coach Roy Edwards.

Olkowski, a former Grand Junction resident who now lives in Las Vegas, posted rounds of 73-69-67 for a 4-under-par 209 total at Sewailo Golf Club in Tucson, Ariz. Olkowski made five birdies and one bogey in Wednesday’s 67.

In the last two rounds of the tournament, the CU golfer (left) recorded a combined 10 birdies.

Olkowski, who tied for first place but lost in a playoff at the Mark Simpson Colorado Invitational two months ago in Erie, finished five strokes behind Gobbler champion Daniel Gurtner of Fort Worth, Texas on Wednesday. Gurtner is a former Texas Christian University golfer.
