Tritons Edge Dolphins Golf in Pivotal Match
The San Clemente boys golf team pulled off a crucial win over Dana Hills on April 11 thanks to its sixth man on the roster. The Tritons and Dolphins were all square 192-192 after a go around on the front nine at Bella Collina Golf Club, prompting a sixth man scorecard tiebreaker. The Tritons sixth man had the lower score and San Clemente was awarded the win.
The win pulled the Tritons even with the Dolphins at the top of the South Coast League standings, and the two will likely share the league title.
