Back for Seconds
Kaye claimed the $100,000 first prize to win the Colorado Open; 21-years after his first. His eight-birdie 6-under-par 66 in the final round led to a 23-under total.

Fellow Coloradan Jacob Lestishen, of Lone Tree, made it a horse race down the stretch after it looked like Kaye might run away with the title. Lestishen played holes 11-15 in an amazing 6 under par, going birdie, birdie, birdie, 20-yard chip-in eagle, birdie to tie the two-time PGA Tour winner.
