What happens when a moose invades a college golf tournament? A 5-minute break

The 16 teams taking part in this year’s Golfweek Red Sky Classic expected some incredible views of nature when they walked the Red Sky Ranch and Golf Club near Vail, Colorado.

The women’s college golf tournament is played on two of the best courses in the state. In fact, according to Golfweek’s Best, the site’s Fazio Course is No. 2 on the best you can play while the Norman Course is tied for fourth.

The event welcomed a field that included Arkansas State, Boise State, Denver, Eastern Michigan, East Tennessee State, Kansas, Little Rock, Mercer, North Carolina Asheville, Northern Arizona, Northern Colorado, Pepperdine, Sacramento State, South Dakota State, UC Irvine and Wichita State.

But during Monday’s opening round, some players got more than they bargained for in the nature category as a massive moose decided to end a bath in a pond early and take a tour of one of the holes.

That forced a slight delay in the action.

After the opening round of play, Sacramento State held the lead as senior Caitlin Maurice set her school’s single-round record with a bogey-free round of 65. Kansas rallied on Tuesday, however, to take the lead into Wednesday’s final round.
