Freshman Johnny Hogan recorded a 2-over-par 76 on Monday to lead the SBCC men’s golf team in the opening round of the Tee-Off Classic.
Teammate Charlie Holyoke also shot a 76 but he’s at 4-over because he played on the shorter par-72 North Course at Los Serranos CC in Chino Hills.
Dodge Ward shot 77 and Steven Lam had an 82 on the par-74 South Course, which measures nearly 7,200 yards. Blake McPherson had a 77 on the par-72 North layout (6,440 yards) while Joakim Klinck shot 79.
There are 16 teams competing in the 36-hole event but no team scores were available since the teams were split up on courses with different pars.
“It was a little disappointing because we thought these courses were a little easier,” said coach Chuck Melendez. “We have a talented team and we’ll do better on Wednesday.”
The final round is set for Wednesday at 9 a.m.
