Colorado Mesa University rising senior Brittlynn O’Dell won the annual Western Slope Triple Play women’s golf tournament with a three day score of 224.

The 54-hole tournament took place at Redlands Mesa Golf Course on Friday and Tiara Rado Golf Course on Saturday and Sunday.

O’Dell started strong on Friday shooting a 73 at Redlands Mesa. She followed that round up with a 75 and 76 at the two rounds at Tiara Rado for a total score that was 10 shots over par.

O’Dell hit a dozen birdies and 24 pars over the course of the three day tournament, with just 14 bogies and four double bodies. That was good enough for her to claim victory in the tournament’s first flight.

Hannah Cupples finished second in the tournament with a score over the three days of 236, which was 22 over par. McKenzie Dolph was third with 245, Haejeong Son was fourth with 246 and Gracie DeJulio came in fifth with 249.

The second flight winner Insook Bhushan finished with a score of 258 over the three days. Jessica L. Smith won the third flight with a score of 268, Carolina Balint won the fourth flight hitting 271 and Nattigan Wortmann took the top spot in the fifth flight hitting 284.
