DENVER (AP) - Littleton's Becca Huffer shot a 6-under par 67 to win the Class 5A girls golf tournament by a state record 13 strokes.

Huffer had a 5 stroke lead heading into Tuesday's round, which she opened with a bogey before she birdied six of her final 17 holes. Huffer's 13-stroke victory margin bettered the previous mark of 4A Mullen's Ashley Tait who in 2005 won by 10 in Gypsum.

Bethany Buchner of Loveland and Melissa Martin of Central (G.J.) each shot 75 to tie for second place at 152. Defending champion Brooke Collins shot 80 to finish at 157 and a tie with two others for sixth.

Highlands Ranch won the team competition with 468, followed by Cherry Creek (502) and Skyline (511).
