Thayer White was medalist at Tuesday’s season-opening match but San Marcos came up short against Hart at Valencia Country Club, 437-443.
White posted a three-over 75 on the 6800-yard course.
“It was a great first match for us as we learned a lot. We now know what we have to do to get ready for league play,” said Royals head coach Dave Siordia in an email.
Hart makes a visit to Goleta net Tuesday for a rematch with the Royals at Sandpiper.
