Connor Rakowski of Ironbridge Golf Club won his second CGA Western Chapter Championship in the last three years on Sunday at Battlement Mesa Golf Club.
Rakowski shot a 3-under-par 69 in the final round to post a 5-under 139 total, which was good for a three-stroke victory.
Rakowski also won the Western Chapter title in 2010 at The Links at Cobble Creek, where he prevailed by four shots.
On Sunday, Dillon McDonald of Red Sky Golf Club matched Rakowski’s 69 and finished second at 142. (Rakowski, at left, and McDonald are pictured above). Colorado Mesa University golfer Brandon Bingaman (71 Sunday) and the University of Colorado’s Drew Trujillo (70) tied for third place at 143. Last year’s champion, Keith Humerickhouse, shared eighth place at 149.
Meanwhile, Sean Forey of Bear Creek Golf Club claimed victory in the senior championship flight. Forey carded two straight 2-over-par 74s for a 148 total.
Scott Sullivan of Bookcliff Country Club took second place among the seniors as a final-round 76 left him at 151. (Pictured at left are Forey, in white shirt, and Sullivan.)
