Perry’s on par in Santa Barbara’s opener

Jack Perry shot even-par 70 at Candlewood Country Club on Monday to lead the Santa Barbara High boys golf team to a third-place finish in the Servite Invitational.

The Dons finished at 380, 11 strokes behind Servite, which won the event.

Shane Lebow added a 74 and Ray Gerow fired a 78 for Santa Barbara.

“All of the guys came away saying they knew what they needed to work on, so we’re going to focus on those things heading into next week,” said coach James Bedard.

Next week is a big one, as the Dons will play Newbury Park, Westlake and San Marcos.
