Sierra's Miller is Medalist

Sierra Freshman Ryan Miller’s 73 was good enough for Medalist honors but not enough to overcome our slow start and the steady play of Santa Rosa's 386. The 1 stroke loss moved the Wolverines back into second place of the Big 8 Conference. Playing the new Yocha De He Golf Club at Cache Creek in Brooks, California, it was a great experience for the players to play under phenomenal “tour-like” conditions and service. Head Professional Bradley Johnson and his staff rolled out the red carpet for our young men.

Sierra Wins, Regains Conference Lead

The solid play of Sierra College out dueled Santa Rosa, winning by 1 stroke, 372 to 373. The 1 stroke victory moved the Wolverines back on top of the Big 8 Conference. Frustrated by the freshly punched greens, I was proud of the guy’s fantastic ball striking. With a little “bit of luck” of the Irish, a bounce here or there on the greens would of made a huge difference.

Lead by Stephen Edman’s 2 under par 70 and solid play from Sophomores Kyle Chatelain and Shane Smith’s 75s along with veterans Kevin Lucas 74 and AJ Hasegawa 78 was just enough to get the job done. With Stephen’s 2 under round, he moves into first place with the only under par scoring average.

Team Results:

1. Sierra College 372
2. Santa Rosa 373
3. Delta 383
4. Butte 388
5. American River 391
6. Modesto 396

Sierra Slips to Second Place

Sierra College Men’s Golf slipped to second place in the Big 8 Conference as Santa Rosa took full advantage of home course advantage with a 3 under par 357 total. Sierra 377 finished second despite not having it’s “A” game. Lead by AJ Hasegawa’s second consecutive 2 under par 70 and Stephen Edman’s even par 72, it just wasn’t enough to pick up the 80’s of bottom of line up. Kevin Lucas’s 75 helped retain his standings (first in league). This year’s league is much stronger and deeper and it’s going to take a total team effort to stay on top.

Team Results

1. Santa Rosa 357
2. Sierra 377
3. Butte 388
4. Delta 392
5. Modesto 392
6. American River 398

Hard Lesson Learned

Sierra College Men’s Golf went from a 6 stroke victory to a 384 third place finish by a simple mis-stroke of a pen. The men learned a hard lesson today when Kevin Lucas took the word of his fellow competitor for a 76 score (which is what he shot) but didn’t check the scorecard for hole by hole accuracy, an error was found and Kevin was disqualified. Counting two scores in the 80’s made room for Butte 382 and Santa Rosa 383 to sneak past Sierra thus creating a three way tie for first place in the Big 8 Conference with 24 points each.
