July 12, 2016 | Women's Golf
FORT COLLINS – Former University of Colorado golfer Alexis Keating shot a 1-under par 70 here at Fort Collins Country Club and in the process qualified for the 2016 U.S. Women's Amateur Championship.
Â
Keating earned one of the six qualifying spots as she finished third place overall and was one of only three golfers to post a subpar round on the par 71 course. Keating's strong 18-hole performance included a pair of birdies and 15 pars against only one bogey as the recent CU graduate shot a 35 on both the front and back nine.
Â
The Elma, Wash. native is planning to attend the first stage of LPGA qualifying school, which begins next month.
Â
A pair of current Buffs, soon-to-be sophomore Gillian Vance and junior Tori Glenn also participated in the event. Vance finished tied for 20th at 5-over par and Glenn closed her round at plus-9, tying her for 35th place.
Â
The 2016 U.S. Women's Amateur Championship is scheduled for Aug. 1-7 and will be held at Rolling Green Golf Club in Springfield, Pa.
