2021 Colorado PGA Professional Champion: Micah Rudosky, PGA
Rudosky wins two Championships in one season; first time in Colorado since 2013 The Colorado PGA Professional Championship, hosted at the Air Force Academy’s Eisenhower Golf Club - Blue Course, September 13-15, 2021, provided an excellent opportunity for our Colorado Members to showcase their skills. With wind gusts on day one, rain delays on day two, fast greens and an overall challenging course, claiming the title of Colorado PGA Professional Champion was no easy feat! Congratulations are in order to Micah Rudosky, PGA Head Professional of Conquistador Golf Course! The first of three rounds teed off Monday morning, September 13th. Starting off strong, firing three birdies in a row on holes three, four, and five, led David Arbuckle, PGA Life Member, to a three-under-par on the front nine. Adding two birdies on the back nine, secured Arbuckle the lead, carding a two-under-par 70 for the day. By the end of day one, there were five members tied for second at one-under-par for the day: Dan Sniffin, PGA Omni Interlocken, Kyle Voska, PGA The Links Golf Course, Robert Grall, PGA Colorado National Golf Club, Michael Zaremba, PGA Desert Hawk, and Matt Schalk, PGA Colorado National Golf Club. Last year’s champion, Geoff Keffer, PGA Lakewood Country Club, sat for 17th following a round of 74. Rain or shine, Colorado PGA Professionals showed up and pushed through the second round of the Colorado PGA Professional Championship that eventually was suspended due to darkness. After two rain delays, players resumed play with approximately two hours until sunset, which left seven groups to finish their rounds Wednesday morning before the final round was set to start.
