Instead, the Aspen High School boys golf coach finds her team tied atop the leaderboard after the first day of the Class 3A state tournament in Colorado Springs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cI had no expectation of being in the lead,\u201d Woulfe said after Round 1 on Monday. \u201cTruly and honestly, I know our team is extremely talented, but I expected there to be a team that went really low with everybody on their team, and that didn\u2019t happen today which put us in the position to be within striking range tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Playing at Eisenhower Golf Course on the U.S. Air Force Academy\u2019s campus, Aspen shot a three-player combined score of 16-over 232 Monday to end tied with Lutheran in first place. Despite the loss of four talented seniors from a year ago, AHS finds itself in position to possibly repeat as state champions. Last year\u2019s win at Boulder Country Club was the program\u2019s first state title.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Holy Family is in third after a round, three shots back of Aspen and Lutheran, while powerhouse Kent Denver is five shots back in fourth. Sterling (22 over) and Colorado Academy (26 over) also remain within striking distance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cIt is very sweet,\u201d AHS senior Jack Pevny said. \u201cWe knew coming in if we put three decent rounds together we would be up there and we put ourselves in a great spot to repeat as champions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Pevny, the lone returner from last year\u2019s state championship team, shot 2-over 74 and finished Monday\u2019s round in a three-way tie for third place. However, it was his brother, sophomore Nic Pevny, who stole the show, shooting even par 72 to finish the day in second, two shots back of leader Walker Franklin of Prospect Ridge.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Nic Pevny, making his state debut, made the shot of the day, hitting a hole-in-one on the 185-yard Par 3 17th to vault himself ahead of his brother and into second place. Nic said it was his second career ace, his other coming in a tournament about three years ago in Aspen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cThis one was pretty big,\u201d Nic Pevny said. \u201cI feel pretty good. I\u2019m excited for tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Neither of the Pevny brothers were a question mark entering Monday\u2019s round. The Skiers did wonder, however, where their third score was going to come from and it was junior John Hall who provided by shooting 14-over 86 to finish tied for 44th. Woulfe said Hall was hitting the ball about as well as anyone on the course.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cHe was hitting the ball so well and faced so much adversity and was able to control the emotions and hang in there,\u201d Woulfe said. \u201cHe had an unbelievable day. He hit the ball like he was going to be below par and he had a day where he probably lipped eight putts and had really bad rub of the green and really bad luck.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Sophomore Lucas Lee, Aspen\u2019s fourth golfer, shot 27-over 99 to end the day tied for 78th in his state debut.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Nic Pevny will play in the lead group in the second and final round on Tuesday alongside Franklin and Kent Denver\u2019s Jeffrey Zhou. They tee off at 10:57 a.m. Jack Pevny will play in the second group with Lutheran\u2019s Westin Pals and Sterling\u2019s Tayleb Schaefer, who tee off at 10:48 a.m.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cI\u2019m very pleased with how the guys performed today. Just to have a chance to be in the mix again,\u201d Woulfe said. \u201cYou graduate four amazing players and you are still in the mix. It says a lot about the depth of this team and the heart of this team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Basalt High School finished the first round in 11th place after shooting 46-over 262. Junior Tyler Sims led the Longhorns by shooting 10-over 82, which puts him in a tie for 30th. Senior Blake Exelbert is tied for 53rd after shooting 17-over 89, while his younger brother, sophomore Braden Exelbert, is tied for 59th after shooting 19-over 91. BHS sophomore Kyle Murray shot 25-over 97.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Tagline\"><a href=\"mailto:acolbert@aspentimes.com\">acolbert@aspentimes.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspentimes.com\/sports\/pevnys-have-aspen-high-boys-golf-tied-atop-leaderboard-after-first-day-of-state-golf\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: The Aspen Times<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Aspen High School boys golf team is competing Monday and Tuesday at the Class 3A state golf tournament in Colorado Springs.Lori Scapicchio\/courtesy The Aspen High School boys golf team is competing Monday and Tuesday at the Class 3A state golf tournament at Eisenhower Golf Course in Colorado Springs.Lori Scapicchio\/courtesy Aspen High School boys golf [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[49],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-2449601","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-local-news"},"acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-06-27 22:05:49","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"distributor_meta":false,"distributor_terms":false,"distributor_media":false,"distributor_original_site_name":"KSPN The Valley&#039;s Quality Rock","distributor_original_site_url":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn","push-errors":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2449601","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2449601"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2449601\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2449601"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2449601"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2449601"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
