  • Mountain Range’s Jones leads 5A boys golf with marvelous shot and round

    (Brent New/CHSAANow.com)

    COLORADO SPRINGS — Mountain Range’s Connor Jones hit an eagle with a 142-yard shot on the third hole at Colorado Springs Country Club. It would have been the shot of a lifetime if not for the fact that he did nearly the same exact thing in his practice round Sunday.

    How’s that for some good fortune for the Day 1 leader of the Class 5A boys golf state tournament.

    “Same hole, same club,” Jones chuckled. “Holed them both. It’s never going to happen again in my life.”

    With his 9-iron, Jones landed his shot about five feet past the pin and watched his ball gently roll back into the cup on consecutive days. Now, he hopes his story of golf folklore can have a fairy-tale ending, too. The senior’s score of 3-under-par 68 is good for the three-stroke lead after the first day of the 5A tournament.

    The senior had two birdies to go with his eagle during his round. He remains grounded despite a dazzling open to his state bid.

    “Tomorrow, I’m just going to try and play my game,” Jones said.

    Lakewood’s Ryan Liao is currently second after shooting even-par. Liberty’s Brandon Bervig and last year’s runner-up, Dillon Stewart of Fossil Ridge, are tied for third at 1-over.

    “The goal was to give myself a chance,” said Liao, a sophomore. “I gave myself a chance today to play tomorrow and try to win.”

    Liao and fellow-sophomore Noah DiBiase (73) led the Tigers to the top of the leaderboard, six strokes ahead of second-place Arapahoe and Fossil Ridge. Their fast start comes a year after Lakewood did not qualify a team to the tournament.

    On Tuesday, the Tigers will look to hold the lead to hoist their first state title in program history with two sophomores and two freshmen leading the way.

    “It’s not unexpected, we work hard,” Lakewood coach Alan Gonzales said. “We just love to play golf. We’re a young team but at the same time we’re experienced. They play a lot of tournaments in the summer.”

    Jones will also try to hold off the field for his first title. He finished tied for sixth last year.

    “I told myself I wasn’t going to look at the leaderboard today,” Jones said. “Obviously I’m going to have to look tomorrow.”

  • 5A Southern Region has three individual medalists as boys golf regionals wrap up

    (@ahswarriorgolf/Twitter)

    There were three individual champions out of the Southern Region of Class 5A boys golf on Wednesday after a massive thunderstorm caused the cancellation of a playoff.

    Arapahoe’s Jack Tickle and Riley Rottschaefer, and Liberty’s Brandon Bervig all finished their rounds at 1-under. The region was in a lightning delay, and further bad weather forced the decision to not play a playoff. As a result, Tickle, Rottschaefer and Bervig were each named individual medalists.

    Arapahoe captured the team championship in the region, finishing at 3-over as a group. Liberty was second at 10-over.

    In 4A Region 3, held at the Olde Course in Loveland, TJ Shehee became the first golfer from Mead to win a region championship. Shehee was 1-under. Evergreen’s Nolan Miller placed second at 1-over.

    “The course was playing pretty tough because it had punched greens and that made it hard to putt,” Shehee told BoCoPreps.com. “I missed a few short putts but I didn’t get mad and let it ruin my round. I just tried to hit it well all day and give myself opportunities. It means a lot to me to win because I haven’t played well at regionals before.”

    Miller’s performance helped lead the Cougars to a win as a team in the region. They were 17-over. Northridge was second at 22-over.

  • Liberty boys golf turns to heavy hitters to start season with a team win

    COLORADO SPRINGS — When Brandon Bervig needs to set the tone for a golf tournament, he should just try to remember the ninth hole at the Colorado Springs Country Club.

    Bervig let loose with his driver and smashed his ball (unofficially) 343 yards down the fairway. He sat about 60 yards away from the pin. He made birdie and played consistently through the day to help Liberty claim the 2018 Doherty Spartan Invite.

    But he wasn’t the best finisher for the Lancers, nor is he the longest hitter.

    “Lucas (Howell) can bomb it further,” Liberty coach Stan Woodworth said while standing behind the ninth green.

    Woodworth is excited about the combination he has in Bervig and Howell this year. Throughout their time with the Lancers, they’ve both shown a high level of skill. Woodward is just waiting for them to put every element of their game together and thinks that this can be the year.

    “The last couple of years, it’s been mainly working on attitude because they have the ability,” Woodward said. “It was nice to see today that after they made a bogey, they came right back and made a birdie. They were doing a good job of getting it up and down and keeping their attitudes in check. It’s been fun having them since they were freshmen and it’s going to be sad to say goodbye to them at the end of this year.”

    The Lancers finished with a score of 221, four team strokes better than defending Class 5A champion Regis Jesuit. A four-way for the individual medal went to a playoff where Palmer Ridge’s Elijah Harp came away the winner.

    Harp, Howell, The Classical Academy’s Liam O’Halloran, and Regis Jesuit’s Freddie Ingham all shot an even-par-71 to force the four-way playoff.

    In the playoff, all four players had a birdie putt on No. 7. Harp’s ball was in the same area as O’Halloran and Ingham’s, just a bit closer to the hole allowing him to get a read from their putts.

    “I got kind of lucky,” Harp said. “I was closer than the other two, so I got to see what their putts did and they left it on the short side. I figured I would give it a little extra and I read the break perfectly and it snuck in the side door.”

    Bervig just missed out on joining the playoff, finishing with a 72 on the day. But he and Howell did enough to ensure the team win, despite both having some frustrations with the way they played today.

    “I made birdie (on No. 9) but I was off the tee like that seven or eight times today and just made birdie once,” Bervig said. “The putt was like 20 feet and I was 50 or 60 yards off the green (going into my second shot). If Lucas and I can get those distances nailed down, that’s when we can put some low scores out there.”

    Perhaps the biggest benefit of Monday’s tournament for the hard-hitting duo was the ability to play at the site of the 2018 5A boys state tournament. The Colorado Springs Country Club last hosted the 5A state tournament in 2014.

    That year a local team was able to take advantage of playing the course as Coronado claimed the team championship. With two talented golfers on the roster, Liberty has dreams of making some noise when the first days of October roll around.

    “It’s such a beautiful course and such an honor to play here,” Howell said. “Knowing that state is going to be here, hopefully we can qualify as a team. If not, hopefully we can get someone to play really well and get top 10 or maybe top five.”

    As he walked off the course at 18, Howell was disappointed in his play, quickly pointing out the things that had gone wrong. He was quick to note that those things won’t go wrong in eight weeks.

    He and Bervig have between now and then to clean up some aspects of their game and show that the Lancers can contend for their first boys golf title.
