Brown maintains lead at Publinx.
First-round leader Zahkai Brown of Indian Tree Golf Course in Arvada has a one-shot lead over Colorado State teammate Riley Arp heading into today’s final round of the Colorado Golf Association’s Public Links Championship at Flatirons Golf Course in Boulder.
Brown, a sophomore-to-be, shot a 2-under-par 68 in the second round for a 6-under total of 134, one better than Arp, of Collindale Golf Course, who’s heading into his senior season in Fort Collins. Arp’s 67 included seven birdies, which helped offset a double bogey on the 17th hole.
