We had to eliminate the walk nights and the carriage rides.”"We'll be disappointed to see it go away," Steven Skawski said. “Without the walkthrough option, the carriage option, and the open-air option, we are probably a coin toss now.”For Natalie Horan and her family, the walking option was more meaningful than seeing the light show from your car.

CHERRY HILLS VILLAGE – Davis Bryant tapped in his final putt of the U.S. Amateur Championship, and tears poured down his caddy’s cheeks.No, the Eaglecrest High School grad and CSU standout didn’t make the cut to match play. But the waterworks from his caddy — dad, Matt — were a warranted signal of one golf chapter closing for Bryant, and another soon opening.Tuesday marked the last day of amateur competition for Bryant, who is turning pro and will make his debut in September in the pre-qualifying stage of the Korn Ferry Tour Q-School.“Once I tapped in the last putt, so many great amateur memories ran through my mind,” Davis Bryant said. “It was a special week to get the opportunity to play in (a second) U.S. Amateur, even though I’m disappointed I didn’t perform the way I wanted to.“Dad did what he needed to on my bag, I just didn’t quite execute quite right on a few shots. But I relished every moment out here with him, just like I always do.”Related Articles...
