Denver, CO: Emily Talley of Napa, CA came from seven strokes back after the first round to take a one stroke lead after posting a 5-under par 67 at the 20th annual HealthONE Colorado Women’s Open at Green Valley Ranch Golf Club. Talley, who played her collegiate golf at CU Boulder, birdied three of her first four holes finishing with five total birdies and no bogeys on the day. Talley not only shot the low round of the day by three strokes but was the only player in the 60s in the second round. Talley is currently 16th on the Symetra Tour money list and will make her third appearance on the Golf Channel’s Big Break when she plays in the $300,000 Big Break Invitational in late September.
Alone in second place at 3-under par just one back of Talley is Lauren Mielbrecht of Gulf Stream, FL who followed up her open round 67 with a 2-over par 74 (141 total). In a four-way tie for third just three back of the lead at 1-under 143 are Denver area native Ashley Tait, Karlin Beck of Montgomery, AL, Alice Kim of San Dimas, CA and Garrett Phillips of St. Simons Island, GA.
In the pro-am competition Colorado Open Golf Foundation founder Pat Hamill and his pro partner Katie Kempter of Albuquerque, NM take a three stroke lead into the final round after following up their opening 62 with a 7-under par 65 for a 17-under total (127). Alone in second at 14-under 130 is Beverly Hoffenberg and her professional Ashley Tait of Littleton, CO.
A total of 39 players in the championship field made the cut at 14-over par 158 or better. Another 13 teams in the pro-am competition made the cut at 9-under 135 or better. A total of 50 players will compete in Friday’s finale and will share in the $75,000 purse. The champion will receive an $11,000 check and the winning pro-am professional will get a $2,800 share of the pro-am purse.
