Dodge Ward’s 3-over 74 served the San Marcos boys golf team well on Thursday, leading the Royals to a 391-429 regular-season ending victory over Ventura at La Cumbre Country Club.
The Royals finish with an overall record of 8-9, but more importantly, San Marcos won four straight Channel League matches after an 0-2 start to finish in second place at 5-3.
CIF team play starts at Cypress Ridge GC in Arroyo Grande on May 11.
“Even though this was our last match, the season has just begun,” said Scott Bradford after the match. Bradford shot a 79 for San Marcos.
John Etsell also broke 80, carding a 77.
