While much of the attention of the golf world was on the final day of the Ryder Cup on Sunday, Denver’s Becca Huffer was posting her best finish ever on the Symetra Tour.
Huffer, winner of the 2013 Colorado Women’s Open, tied for second Sunday in the Murphy USA El Dorado Shootout in El Dorado, Ark. The 2008 CWGA Player of the Year shot rounds of 70-73-68 for a 5-under-par 211 total. She finished two strokes behind Madelene Sagstrom, who leads the 2016 Symetra Tour money list.
Huffer had an eventful final round, make an eagle at the par-4 11th hole to go along with four birdies and two bogeys.
Huffer’s previous best finish in a Symetra Tour event came at the Visit Mesa Gateway Classic in February 2014, where she placed third.
“If I can put a few more top-five results together, then skipping Stage II (of LPGA Q-School) is a possibility,” Huffer told SymetraTour.com. “I’ve been playing really well heading into the end of the season and I am feeling good about my game.”
