City girls’ golf: Granada Hills wins team title; Julie Ward wins individual title
She shoots 72 at Balboa Golf Course
There was drama on Monday at the City Section girls’ golf championship.
On the 17th hole at Balboa Golf Course, freshman Amanda Lee of Cleveland made a 15-foot birdie putt to pull into a tie for first place with Sylmar’s Julie Ward.
On the 18th hole, a 319-yard par-4, Ward put together her best drive of the day, straight down the middle more than 200 yards. She sent her next shot on the green and ended up with a par. Lee finished with a double bogey after three-putting on the green.
Ward, a senior who didn’t play for Sylmar last season, won the City individual title with a 72. Lee finished second with a 74 and freshman Carol Cheng of Granada Hills was third with a 75.
Granada Hills won its fourth consecutive girls’ title and 10th overall. North Hollywood finished second and was the only other team competing with the Highlanders.
