Boys golf: Mesa’s Montoya advances
PALM SPRINGS - Costa Mesa High senior Jeff Montoya shot par 72
Monday at the CIF Southern Section boys individual golf tournament at
Canyon Country Club to earn one of 22 qualifying berths in the June 6
state tournament.
Montoya, who opened his round on No. 9, birdied the par-5 10th hole, then
birdied No. 3, a long par 4, and No. 7, a 170-yard par 3, to even out his
three bogeys.
Montoya competed at the section tournament last spring, but did not
advance. He was unsure where he ranked among the finishers Monday.
Missing the cut at 73 were Newport Harbor golfers Kevin Olson and Daniel
Kush, who came in with a 77 and 82, respectively.
The state tournament will be held at the Southern California Golf
Association Members’ Club in Murrieta.
