Elway Posts a 76; Leaders Fire 67 at Colorado Open

Denver, CO: NFL Hall of Fame quarterback John Elway carded a 5-over par 76 in the first round of the HealthONE Colorado Open at Green Valley Ranch GC on Thursday. After a birdie 4 on his second hole, John bogeyed five of the next seven on the outward nine but  rallied with a 36 (+1) on the back. He will tee off on #10 at 1:00pm MDT with playing partners Paul Lobato and Bill Loeffler who posted scores of 72 and 73 respectively.
 
Brian Kortan, who played in this year’s US Open at Torrey Pines, and Colorado amateur Pat Grady both posted 4-under 67s after the morning wave of the first round. Conditions were ideal for scoring as both players had 6 birdies and two bogies each. Two players, Kyle Spahr and Brett Melton, are tied for 3rd with scores of 68 with defending champion John Douma and three local products, Charlie Soule, Steve Ziegler and Jon Lindstrom, in a 5-way tie for 5th at 69 (-2).
 
Scores from other notables include PGA Tour player Jonathan Kaye (+2) and two-time Colorado prep champ Tom Glissmeyer (E).
