Sometimes in golf,Mother Nature wins. That was the case Monday at Oakmont Country Club in Glendale as only two players broke 80 on the difficult Par-72 course at the Western State Conference No. 2 hosted by Glendale College. The Pirates carded a 414 as a team to finish second, just five strokes behind College of the Canyons. Freshman Evan Colborn was the low man for VC, shooting an 80 to finish in a tie for third place overall.
Nick Burns, Kaden Santos and Michael Ray all turned in an 83 on the day while Mason Teron had an 85 and Jake Yasutake posted an 87.
Canyons won the event with a team score of 409 followed by Ventura at 414 and Santa Barbara with a score of 429.
The Pirates will head to San Jacinto on Wednesday Feb. 12 for the Mt. San Jacinto Eagle Classic at Soboba Springs Golf Course.
