Colorado Springs, CO (September 25th, 2023) – The first-ever UMB Bank PGA HOPE Colorado Cup was a major success this past Monday at the beautiful Broadmoor Golf Club in Colorado Springs. The team of five from Commerce City, led by PGA Professional Jordan Leblanc, took first place with a score of -13. They will have the opportunity now to represent Colorado and the PGA HOPE Colorado program at the PGA HOPE Secretary’s Cup. The Broadmoor, which will host the 2025 US Senior Open Championship, hosted 17 teams composed of PGA HOPE graduates and their instructors. They played on the West Golf Course at The Broadmoor and played a 5-person scramble format. A tournament-high 13 birdies paved the way for Leblanc and Commerce City to win.

We also thank Wilson for providing custom PGA HOPE Colorado golf balls, Branded Bills for providing hats for all those who participated in the event, and UMB Bank for being a great sponsor for the inaugural edition of the Colorado PGA HOPE Cup.
