  • 5A boys golf: Arapahoe’s Will Kates runs away with individual title, Fairview wins team championship

    (Brad Cochi/For CHSAANow.com)

    DENVER – All over Pinehurst Country Club on Tuesday afternoon, everyone was talking about the kid that no one saw coming.

    No one seemed capable of readily producing his name without pulling out a phone or glancing to check the clubhouse scoreboard. “The Arapahoe kid that’s on fire,” they’d call the unknown golfer.

    That kid’s name: Will Kates.

    A sophomore and not even the No. 1 player on his own team, Kates wasn’t counted among a handful of veteran players who entered the Class 5A boys golf state tournament as the clear favorites to win. But Kates quietly positioned himself within one stroke of the Day 1 leader on Monday and on Tuesday’s final day, he absolutely blew everyone away with a 4-under 66 that won him the individual state championship by six strokes.

    They didn’t know him before. They do now.

    “Winning state was always in the back of my mind as a goal, but it wasn’t an immediate goal,” said Kates, who didn’t even qualify for last year’s state tournament. “You always want to go in playing like you’re trying to win but this wasn’t something I had planned for myself at the beginning of the season. I just got on a roll.

    “I honestly don’t know what to do now. I guess now I just have to come back here next year and try to win it again.”

    One of 10 players from eight different schools within three or fewer strokes of Day 1 leader Gavin Hagstrom from Fossil Ridge, Kates opened Tuesday’s finale by birdying two of the first six holes to jump into the lead. His only bogey came on the par-3 12th hole and he responded with three straight birdies on Nos. 14, 15 and 16 to distance himself insurmountably from the field.

    (Brad Cochi/For CHSAANow.com)

    All of Class 5A’s best players struggled all tournament long to solve the challenging putting surfaces at Pinehurst. Following the breakout performance of his budding prep career, Kates said winning the state title was the product of his success with the putter.

    “I just made some putts, honestly,” Kates said. “All season, if I had been making putts I could have shot a lot lower. It’s a fun game when you’re making putts. This course is hard from tee to green but once you get on the greens, it can get really tricky. We all kind of knew the person who putts the best was going to take the trophy home.”

    Highlands Ranch senior Tarek Salem, who tied for sixth at state last season, was tied with Kates for second place to begin Tuesday’s round and held his runner-up position until the end. Salem played a consistent round with 16 pars and just two bogeys for a 2-over 72.

    Even he had to tip his cap to Kates.

    “I’m happy with the result, honestly,” Salem said. “Everyone’s goal is to win but I was in my zone and playing my game once I got over the nerves after the first couple of holes. When someone shoots a 66, there’s just nothing you can do about it. Will did a great job. Props to him. It was just a great time all around.”

    Lakewood’s Ryan Liao, who placed fourth in 2018, was 4-over for the tournament and tied for third with Hagstrom and Fairview’s Will Chadwick. Boulder’s Grant Alqatami – 2-over on Tuesday – was sixth at 5-over and Fairview’s Brett Reamon – 5-over on Tuesday – finished seventh at 6-over.

    With three players in the top eight, the Fairview boys claimed the team championship. Arapahoe was second, three strokes behind Fairview and one ahead of third-place Fossil Ridge following a late charge on Day 2.

    It was the Fairview Knights’ first team title since 2007 and one that all four seniors who played at state this season have been building towards for several years.

    “They’re all seniors, they’re all buddies and they’ve played together forever,” Fairview head coach John Zerwin said. “So it’s really great to see them all stick together and pull it off because we’ve been looking forward to this for a long time and they deserve it.”

  • 3A boys golf: Lutheran’s Westin Pals claims title, and so does his team

    (Alan Versaw/CHSAANow.com)

    AIR FORCE ACADEMY — Starting a tournament four strokes behind on the final day is not a high percentage road to success.

    It got worse when Westin Pals struggled to start his day at the Class 3A boys golf state tournament, bogeying his opening hole and falling five strokes behind Prospect Ridge Academy’s Walker Franklin.

    The wind was gusting fairly heavily as Pals and Franklin began their days, one in each of the final two threesomes to take the course. Both Pals and Franklin struggled a bit with the wind, but Pals was quicker to settle into his groove.

    By the end of the ninth hole, Pals was 1-under and Franklin 2-over. Franklin still held the lead, but by only a single stroke. And the winds had calmed down measurably since the gusts of the morning.

    Pals’ threesome was playing one ahead of Franklin’s threesome, giving Franklin the advantage — if that is what is was — of knowing what Pals had shot on each hole ahead of him.

    The battle see-sawed through multiple lead changes over the final nine holes. Pals sank a long put to birdie 12. Franklin answered with a birdie on 13. Back and forth. Never more than a stroke of difference between the two.

    A bogey for Pals on 16 proved costly, however, allowing Franklin to take a one-stroke lead with his birdie on the same hole. Both Pals and Franklin parred 17. Pals parred 18 after a magnificent approach shot tried to settle then caught the slope and rolled several meters away from the pin.

    All Franklin had to do to secure the win was par hole 18. Franklin had been parring holes all day long, but the par eluded him on this hole. Franklin three-putted for a bogey, sending the contest into a playoff.

    The playoff didn’t last long. Franklin’s tee shot hit the rough, and he could not make up the lost ground. Pals calmly parred the hole and the contest — one which spanned the last ten or so holes with seemingly every spectator in sight checking their phones for updates on scoring with each hole.

    Golf was probably a little less stressful before the advent of live scoring.

    Pals’ approach to the day reflected the demeanor of one not given to adding pressure to stressful situations.

    “I saw the forecast, and it was pretty windy, so I knew I wouldn’t have to go crazy low,” he said. “I didn’t get off to the greatest start. I was two-over through four or five, and I just said, ‘This is my last golf tournament, let’s go out there and see what we can do.’”

    But there was still the 18th hole to conquer.

    (Alan Versaw/CHSAANow.com)

    “I thought he [Walker Franklin] was going to make it,” Pals said. “Walker’s been my buddy for years now. I know the feeling of missing a three-footer to win the tournament, but at the end of the day we were tied and went to the playoff.”

    Pals was still keeping things calm for the playoff. Surrounded by purple shirts rooting him on, Pals reflected, “Well, I’m color-blind, so everything looks the same.”

    Even so, he was making a conscious effort to tune out the crowd.

    “When we were on the first tee of the playoff, I kept telling myself, ‘Don’t look behind me; don’t look behind me!’” he said.

    And the strategy worked well enough for a win Pals is unlikely ever to forget.

    A lot of folks at Lutheran won’t forget it any time soon, either. As it turns out, Lutheran got a twofer on the day. Not only did Pals win individual honors, but a team with three players, a team that made it to state as a team only because those three players qualified as individuals, won a state title. And they won it rather convincingly.

    As Pals and Franklin were doing their thing over the last several holes, Pals’ teammates Jackson Lowe and Owen Deas were enjoying solid days, as well. Lowe shot six-over for the day and 11-over for the tournament to place 12th. Owen Deas shot 14-over for the day and 23 over for the tournament to place 36th.

    On a day when the wind was messing with player’s games all morning long, that was enough for the win. One by one, the teams in the title hunt fell by the wayside or struggled to close the gap, leaving Lutheran alone at the top.

    Aside from Lutheran, Holy Family had easily the best day and finished five back of the Lions. But the Tigers never could get close enough to catch Lutheran. Aspen, the co-leader at the end of the first day, finished 13 strokes behind Lutheran.

  • 4A boys golf: Stangebye goes low again as Montrose claims state title

    4A boys golf state tournament
    (Dan Mohrmann/CHSAANow.com)

    MONTROSE — Micah Stangebye is the ultimate hustler when it comes to invite others into his home and beating them at his game.

    This week, The Bridges served as his home. And golf was his game. And his two rounds in the Class 4A boys golf state tournament will be the talk of the club’s members for years to come.

    Stangebye put together a round of 5-under-par 66 to go with Monday’s 67. It was a good enough week that he won his second straight state championship while he and his Montrose teammates celebrated a third consecutive title.

    “Obviously it was an advantage being able to play this course every day this summer,” Stangebye said. “You know where you can miss it and where you can’t. You know how the putts break and overall I probably hit the ball better than I have any tournament this year starting on the first hole and all the way to the 18th green.”

    4A boys golf state tournament
    Kaden Ford. (Dan Mohrmann/CHSAANow.com)

    On Monday he made just one birdie on the entire front nine. He didn’t wait that long to get going on Tuesday. After Discovery Canyon’s Kaden Ford made a birdie on No. 2 to cut Stangebye’s lead to two strokes, the defending champion got going. He made a birdie on No. 3 and then kept getting look after look.

    Something coach Dave Woodruff talked about after Monday’s round was that he wanted his team to really take its time and appreciate everything that would happen on Tuesday. That message was received for Stangebye as he rushed a short birdie putt on No. 6 and missed it left. On the par-3 seventh, he missed the green to the right but made a fantastic up and down to keep his tournament bogey-free.

    “The winner is always going to be the guy with the smallest misses,” Stangebye said. “It came down to me having only one bogey in 36 holes.”

    That came on the par-3 12th when he flew the green and had little room to work with when trying to get on.

    But he rebounded with a birdie on 13.

    Meanwhile, his teammates were doing what they needed to do to ensure that the team came away with its desired three-peat.

    “Everyone says it’s hard to win at home,” Woodruff said. “You have the crowd and all your fans here. Ryan Lords, our other senior stepping up and making all-state, finishing top-10 was huge.”

    Lords finished the tournament 5-over while Jordan Jennings finished 9-over.

    The leaderboard was stacked with players that will be returning next year. Ford, a junior, finished in a tie for second with Northfield sophomore Hunter Swanson. Lewis-Palmer sophomore Gregory Lewis finished fourth.

    Palisade senior Ethan Aubert finished fifth at 3-over and Cheyenne Mountain senior Gabe Marmon finished 4-over to come in sixth.

    The next couple of years are shaping up to be very competitive for the 4A field.

    “Knowing how close I was to winning, it motivates me and lets me know I can win. I can do this this,” Ford said.

    Pueblo West, behind a strong performance from freshman Noah Wagner, finished second as a team. All four Cyclones golfers will return next season.

    The conclusion of the state golf tournaments marks the beginning of fall championship season. And the tales that will come out of Montrose will live on for years. Bridges general manager Eric Feely made sure that his tournament – and unofficially the start of championship season – started with the biggest party of the fall.

  • 3A boys golf: Aspen and Lutheran share team lead after Day 1

    (Alan Versaw/CHSAANow.com)

    U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY — Around these parts, the first sign of fall for golfers is when your tee time gets delayed by frost on the course. It was definitely fall on Monday morning, though the frost delay was rather manageable at only about 15 minutes.

    Fall or not, the Eisenhower Blue Course at the Air Force Academy wasn’t giving any easy passes to the golfers. Several golfers struggled to hold par consistently through the course and birdies were tough to come by for all.

    Prospect Ridge’s Walker Franklin shot 2-under 70 to finish as the only golfer under par for the day, and he holds the lead after the first day.

    Still very much within striking distance, however, are the Pevny brothers of Aspen. Nic shot an even par, while Jack finished 2-over. Also closing out the day at two over were Westin Pals of Lutheran and Jeffrey Zhou of Kent Denver.

    That leaves out a small handful who figured as potential threats to win the tournament. But, it’s a major undertaking to come back on Tuesday from more than four strokes back on Monday.

    Thirteen schools brought complete teams to the tournament.

    Those teams left in the title hunt include co-leaders Aspen and Lutheran at 16-over for the first round. On the heels of the Skiers and Lions are Holy Family (three back), Kent Denver (five back), and Sterling (six back). All other teams are at least 10 strokes off the lead.

    On paper, Lutheran ranks as the surprise of the tournament thus far. The Lions finished third in their region and qualified through the back door with only three players.

    But, regardless of who might have surprised with today’s showing, coach Kevin Volz had a hunch this might be coming: “Westin Pals has been my No. 1 player for a few years now,” he said. “He got a good start out of the gate. The other guys saw that, and it helped them get on track.”

    Also coming up big for Lutheran today was freshman Jackson Lowe at 5-over.

    “When you get two guys going that well, things tend to come around,” Volz added.
