More Star Power

Now, The First Tee of Green Valley Ranch has two major championship winners confirmed as hosts for kids clinics in the coming months.

Earlier this month, 2014 ANA Inspiration winner Lexi Thompson committed to conduct an all-girls clinic hosted by CoBank, at The First Tee of GVR on Aug. 12 (CLICK HERE). Then on Tuesday, Colorado resident David Duval, winner of the 2001 British Open, was announced for a CoBank Kids Clinic benefiting The First Tee of GVR that’s scheduled for June 20 at 5 p.m. All kids are welcome for the free one-hour clinic, which will be followed by autographs and photos. Registration for the event will begin on Monday (June 5) at coloradoopen.com.

Duval (pictured) has won 13 times on the PGA Tour — all coming between 1997 and 2001. At one time he was the No. 1-ranked player in the world.

Though he competes very little on Tour these days, Duval has become a well-received TV analyst on the Golf Channel.

The upcoming clinics at GVR come a year after The First Tee at the northeast Denver course hosted three in 2016, featuring Hale Irwin, Paula Creamer and Ryan Palmer.
