Hart’s Johnny MacArthur, pictured, beat Santa Barbara’s Andrew Perez in a two-hole playoff Thursday to win the CIF/SCGA Southern California Regional in Murrieta. Both players finished regulation play with a score of five-under-par 67.

MacArthur, who lost to Perez in a two-hole playoff in the Southern Section-Toyota individual finals last week, will go into Tuesday’s CIF state championship in Santa Maria as the No. 1-seeded player from Southern California. That’s him, pictured, during play last week.

Other individuals qualifying for the state tournament: Rak Cho of Brea Olinda (69), Bobby Barajas of Santa Maria Righetti (70), Michael Kim of Torrey Pines (70), Pete Fernandez of Bakersfield Stockdale (70) and Ben Lein of Los Altos (70).
