Current CU player Derek Tolan of South Suburban Family SC shot 66 in the final round for an 11-under 199 total to earn a two-stroke victory in the CGA Public Links Championship at Fox Hollow Golf Course. This was Tolan’s first individual CGA Championship victory after having finished as runner-up nine times in CGA Championships since 1999 including twice in this event (2003 and 2005).
Tolan began the final round tied with fellow CU teammate and defending champion Patrick Grady of Omni Interlocken. Both players were still tied after 10 holes, however Grady missed a couple of crucial putts on the back and Tolan took advantage by finishing with steady pars, and birdies on 12 and 17 to win by two. Grady finished at 201 (nine-under-par) to earn the CGA Silver Medal.
Tyler Bishop of Twin Peaks GC shot 69 in the final round for a 206 total to finish in third place. Former CU player Riley Andrews of the Links GC took fourth place at 207. Four players finished tied for fifth at 208 including Zen Brown of Indian Tree GC, Matthew Brunk of Collindale GC, Jim Grady of Omni Interlocken and Zachary Zaremba of Desert hawk at Pueblo West.
