WALLA WALLA, WASHINGTON | Made up of half Regis Jesuit High School players in junior-to-be Mary Weinstein and sophomore-to-be Jaclyn Murray, Team Colorado finished 14th at the 2014 Girls’ Junior Americas Cup Tournament that wrapped up Thursday.
Throwing out the highest score, the Colorado group — which also included Class 4A state champion Jennifer Kupcho of Jefferson Academy and Cheyenne Mountain star Kylee Sullivan — finished with a three-round total of 58-over-par 706, putting it just one shot behind Southern Nevada and five strokes ahead of Utah in the 37th annual event played at Walla Walla Country Club.
Kupcho continued an outstanding summer of golf by finishing in a tie for eighth overall in the field of players from a variety of Western states, plus Mexico and British Columbia. The senior-to-be fired a 1-under-par 71 in the final round to finish at 3-over 219 for the tournament.
