Boys’ golf: Drama is building as players finish their rounds

Scores are starting to file in and soon we’ll know who the winner is of the Southern Section-Toyota boys’ golf team finals today/Thursday at Candlewood Country Club in Whittier. The top four teams advance to the CIF SoCal Regionals later this month. You can see in my photograph that folks are starting to huddle around the scorer’s table.

Santa Barbara looked good, especially Andrew Perez, even though I saw him bogey holes 15 and 16. He’s coming up to the scorers table now so we’ll soon know what he shot.

Par for the course is 70 and most of the people I talked with weren’t expecting many players to shot par or better, but one of the first scores turned in was a 70 by Kevin Techakanokboon of Cerritos. Maybe that’s a sign that we’ll see more low scores than expected.

Check back soon and I’ll have more results and a video interview with the winners.
