HIGHLANDS RANCH - The CGA Women's Senior Match Play Championship kicked off on Monday at DU Golf Club in Highlands Ranch. Women from around the state participated in pod play matches over the first three days, which set the stage for the semi-finals on Wednesday afternoon.

Some familiar names duked it out in the blazing Colorado heat. Defending champion Kristine Franklin (Westminster, CO) took on Marilyn Hardy (Magnolia, TX). Last year's senior women's match play runner-up, Leigh Klasse (Cumberland, AZ), battled Robin Krapfl (Peoria, AZ). Could we see a repeat of the 2024 finals?
