Men's Golf Clinches Big 8 In Stockton.

 The Tigers played at Stockton Golf & Country Club with very solid team golf.  The weather was warm and sunny, with temperatures in the high 70's and with gentle breezes at 5-10 mph.  The scoring conditions were very favorable on this day.  The Tigers won the overall Big 8 Conference Championship (North & South Divisions) by defeating Folsom Lake by 20 shots in the head to head match, shooting a score of 373, or 18 over par for the 5 counting scores.  Leading the way for Reedley was Tommy O'Rourke, who shot a superb round of 72 (+1), and finished in T-2nd overall for the tournament.  Morgan Cooper posted a nice round of 73, finishing in a T-5th position for the day!! Bailey Flickinger and Dylan Otto each shot rounds of 75 for the Tigers. Xavier Coreno carded a round of 78 to cap the scoring on the day for Reedley.  All 5 Tigers posted rounds in the 70's for a real solid team effort.
