Santa Margarita High, ranked second in Orange County, bunched its five players within three shots of each other in beating No. 3 Villa Park, 193-198, in a nonleague golf match Monday on the Orange course at Green River.

In the Southern Section girls’ individual championship:

Yim finishes tied for fifth: Yon Yim of Woodbridge, the defending champion, shot seven-over 79 at Mission Lakes County Club in Desert Hot Springs.

Vivan Phosomran of Long Beach Millikan shot 76, despite playing in strong winds, to win the championship. Yim shot 68 on the same course to win last year.

Julie Oh of Torrance, Lisa Chang of Santa Monica and Kim Kouwvunpat of Upland tied for second after each shooting 78. Yim, a junior, tied with Alicia Van of Westlake Village Westlake.
