JC golf: OCC’s Carrasco seventh at state finals

MURRIETA - Orange Coast College sophomore golfer Lou Carrasco

finished his OCC career shooting 74-74--148, good for seventh place in a

field of 12 golfers vying for the individual state title at the 36-hole

State Community College Championship at the par 72-SCGA Members Course in

Murrieta Monday.

The Costa Mesa High graduate finished four strokes behind the medalist

from College of the Desert, said OCC Coach Barry Wallace.

“It was bunched up there, but a great tournament for Lou Carrasco to

end his community college golf career,” Wallace said.

Battling hot temperatures, Carrasco birdied four holes, had two double

bogeys and four bogeys.

“It was very hot and very demanding, a hilly course,” Wallace said.

College of the Canyons won the team title Monday.
