NEXT UP

The Broncos will participate in The Paintbrush in Denver, Colorado, on Oct. 4-5. The University of Denver will serve as the host.

QUOTABLE

It's a disappointing event but there is a lot more golf to be played. The team seemed both rusty and tentative and it cost us throughout the tournament. There were stretches of good play from everyone, we just need to put in the work to turn good holes into good rounds, and good rounds and good tournaments. I believe in the ability of this group and look forward to progressing each week this fall.
