       DENVER -- Brian Dorfman of Greenwood Village defeated Clark Shafer of Castle Rock 2 and 1 Friday in the 36-hole final match to win the Colorado Golf Association’s Junior Match Play Championship at Bear Creek Golf Club.

      For Dorfman, who played in the 2007 U.S. Junior Amateur Championship, this was his first individual CGA title.

     Dorfman took an early lead on Shafer with a par on the second hole and never looked back as he proceeded to hit his first nine greens in regulation. When Dorfman went 2-up with a par on the par-3 13th,  he began a string of 18 consecutive holes on which he would make par or better.

     Dorfman led 3-up after the first 18 holes, and increased his lead to 5-up. After giving back much of his advantage, Dorman drained a 6-foot par putt on the 35th hole for a halve and the win.

      Dorfman, a recent Cherry Creek High School graduate, will be attending Georgetown in the fall.
