GLF: Morton medals but Stevenson takes cake

Stevenson’s visiting boys golf team topped Santa Barbara at Birnam Wood Golf Course on Tuesday despite the Dons’ James Morton shooting the day’s best round.

Morton recorded a three-over-par 73, but Stevenson came away with the 395-406 team victory.

Morton overcame two triple-bogeys by making six birdies on the short but narrow course in Montecito.

Drew Nelson’s 74 was Stevenson’s low round.

Tuesday’s match started a busy week for the Dons, who play a nine-hole match with Stevenson and Long Beach Wilson on Thursday before leaving for Sacramento to play in a two-day tournament on Friday and Saturday.
