Said Bryant, "I want to play against the best players and today I beat a lot of the best players in the state."
Davis Bryant of Green Valley Ranch Golf Club, who as recently as last year was winning major junior championships in Colorado, earned a major title in an open-age tournament on Sunday in capturing the top spot at the CGA Amateur at Lakewood Country Club.
At age 19, Bryant becomes just the fourth player under 20 to win this event in the 21st century, joining Wyndham Clark (age 16 in 2010), Steven Kupcho (19 in 2012) and Chris Korte (19 in 2015).
In fact, the Colorado State University sophomore-to-be went wire-to-wire at Lakewood Country Club, leading after every round starting with his 65 on Thursday. And, mind you, this was his first time competing in this event, and this is his first season of playing regularly in open-age tournaments.
“Winning the amateur is great — in my first attempt too,” he said. “It feels good to finish this one how I wanted to.”
Jack Castiglia of Greeley CC finished just one shot behind Bryant for solo second. Griffin Barela was the next closest player at 4 under.
