  • Boys golf regional roundup: Heritage wins at Colorado Springs Country Club

    Heritage’s Sam Blackwood (left) claimed a regional championship on Monday. (Dan Mohrmann/CHSAANow.com)

    EDITOR’S NOTE: This story originally had Sam Blackwood as the sole winner, but scores were recalculated after the on-site reporter left the course. The story has been changed to reflect the accurate result.

    COLORADO SPRINGS — Sam Blackwood and Canon Olkowski played well down the stretch and as a result are co-regional champions.

    They both shot a one-under-par 70, one stroke better than teammate Blackwood’s teammate Ben Carrington, to take the Class 5A southern regional boys golf championship on Monday.

    “My game was more steady,” Blackwood said of his play on the final nine holes. “My ball striking was a lot more inconsistent on the front nine. I found my swing on the back nine and that really helped.”

    His birdie on his 18th hole proved to be timely as Olkowski sank a nearly 20-foot birdie putt to get to get to one-under as well.

    Heritage also took the team win with Grand Junction finishing second. Both teams have qualified for the 2017 5A state tournament at CommonGround.

    The top two teams in each region, along with the next 13 individual qualifiers, will head to state next month.

    Complete results for each regional tournament can be found here.

    3A 1: Defending champ Oliver Jack cruises.

    Oliver Jack, the reigning state champion in Class 3A, cruised to a win in 3A’s Region 1 at East to Links.

    Jack shot a 2-under 69. His round included five birdies, including his final two holes.

    Jack’s teammate, Jackson Klutznick, tied for second with Lance Peters of Alamosa at 1-over. Klutznick tied for fourth at state last season.

    Kent Denver also won the team title, shooting 1-over. Lutheran (+24) was the second-place team, and also qualified for state.

    4A 1: Defending champ Luke Trujillo also cruises.

    Discovery Canyon’s Luke Trujillo won 4A Region 1 at Elmwood by eight strokes, shooting a 5-under 65. Trujillo won the 4A championship last fall.

    Niwot’s Jack Hoover placed second at 3-over, while Falcon’s Ryan Welsh was third (+5).

    Discovery Canyon easily won the regional title as a team at +11. Niwot (+33) also qualified as a team.

    Cherry Creek edged out Legend to claim the top overall seed in 5A. The Bruins (14-5) got back on track after a two-game skid just in time for the state tournament.

    No. 5 Rock Canyon gets Grandview in the first round in Region 4. No. 12 Heritage and No. 21 Grand Junction are on the other side of the bracket.
