Barber Seeks Another Low Round

Tommy Barber of Notre Dame High tops the list of entrants from the region in the CIF-Southern California Golf Assn. championships at The SCGA Members’ Club at Rancho California in Murrieta today.

Barber, who tied for fourth in the Southern Section individual championships at Canyon Country Club in Palm Springs on May 22, has shot a combined eight-under par in his previous three tournaments.

Today’s event will include the top four teams from the Southern Section championships and the top two teams from the City, Central and San Diego section tournaments. It will also include the top individuals not on qualifying teams from those sections.

Senior Jay Montes of Sylmar will be playing in his first CIF-SCGA tournament after becoming the first Spartan to win the City title on May 24.

Chatsworth, second to Palisades in the City championships, will be the only team from the region in the final high school tournament of the season.
