GOLDEN, Colo. – Colorado School of Mines golf has announced two new additions to its squad for the 2026-27 season, looking near and far to add a pair of freshmen.<\/p>\n
The Orediggers will welcome Iceland native \u00d3li Bjarkason<\/a> and Lakewood’s Hunter Ellsworth<\/a> this fall, adding to a talented young roster for head coach Tyler Kimble<\/a> that includes 10 returners.\u00a0<\/p>\n Bjarkason, hailing from K\u00f3pavogur, Iceland, comes to Golden after finishing fourth on the Icelandic junior tour last year and winning the 2024 and 2025 Icelandic Junior Team club championships. A GKG Junior Tour runner-up, Bjarkason is interested in majoring in mechanical engineering.<\/p>\n Ellsworth, a Green Mountain High School product, saw rapid improvement in his game to qualify for the Colorado state 3A tournament last fall after winning the Jeffco individual title. A three-sport athlete at Green Mountain, Ellsworth was all-Jeffco and the 3A MVP as a senior. He is interested in majoring in mechanical engineering.<\/p>\n Mines has yet to set their final fall schedule but will begin 2026-27 play in September.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
