Colorado alumnus David Oraee captured the 61st Wyoming Open on Sunday in Cheyenne with an impressive 15-under par performance for his first win as a professional.
Oraee, who lettered four times for the Buffaloes and graduated in 2015, practically led from start to finish in winning by three strokes over another CU alum, Ben Portie, on the 6,424-yard, par-70 Airport Golf Club course layout.
Oraee entered the final round with a four-shot lead, but no one could get closer than two strokes. In hitting 46 of 54 greens on the weekend, and with just two three-putts — one of which was just off the green from 50 feet away — he earned $7,000 for the victory.
