Men’s Golf
· SCC Drops Heartbreaker to Palomar: The SCC men’s golf team has lost some tight matches this season, but none closer than Wednesday’s (4/18) heartbreaker against Palomar College at the par-72 Twin Oaks Golf Course in San Marcos. After adding up the scorecards from each team’s top five players the score was tied at 377-377, sending the match into a tie-breaker. The tie-breaker is determined by the score of the sixth golfer from each squad. After the sixth player from each team finished with an 81, the match was sent into a second tie-breaker. In this case, the scores from the top five players from each team on the back nine are used to break the tie. Palomar shot a 189 on the back nine compared to 191 for SCC, breaking the tie and giving the Comets the card-off victory. The Hawks (10-5 OEC) have lost four of five matches this season by two shots or less.
· Gibson Finishes with 9-Birdes: Despite windy conditions, sophomore Steve Gibson finished with a school-record nine birdies on his way to shooting a 4-under-par round of 68 to lead the Hawks. Other scores for SCC included sophomore Eric Brambila with a solid even-par round of 72, freshmen Josh Perez and Austin Glenn each with a 78, while sophomore Kyle Ortiz and freshman Jordan Andrews each carded an 81.
· Next Up: SCC will compete in the OEC Finals on Monday, Apr. 30 at the Los Serranos Golf Club in Chino Hills.
