BOULDER — Nothing to lose.
The 2022-23 season has not gone the way the University of Colorado women’s golf team would have liked. The Buffaloes have battled inconsistencies up and down the roster which has led to frustrating results. Colorado has finished near or at the bottom of the standings in its last six tournaments, including all four this spring.

“It was a great opportunity for us to get to know the course,” said Miller who finished tied for 38th at 6-over, 222 at the event. “It was the first time I played it in a tournament round. I feel comfortable going in because now I’ve learned certain holes and what to do, what not to do.
“I’ve got to be smart on a couple more holes. I made the mistake on 18 and 9 to hit a drive and I got to change a couple clubs off the tee and put myself in a safe spot in the middle of the fairway to get (an…
