RIVERSIDE, Calif. \u2014 Under bright morning skies, players teed off in a 7:30\u202fAM shotgun start at Victoria Golf Course, a Bell-designed par-72, 6,557-yard layout with superb greens, offering fun, challenging \u201clinks\u201d-style golf for all Orange Empire competitors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the top of the leaderboard, Brady Fonville of Victor Valley College delivered the round of the day, shooting a 5-under 67 to capture medalist honors. Fonville\u2019s performance highlighted a strong showing from Victor Valley College, which placed multiple players near the top. Linus Utter and Logan Marra of College of the Desert and Brady McColm of Victor Valley College each finished at 4-under 68, while Sinjin Armstrong of College of the Desert carded a 3-under 69.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


College of the Desert claimed the team title at 13-under, followed by Victor Valley College at 7-under. Orange Coast College and Riverside City College tied for third at +2, while Cypress College finished fifth at +5. Cuyamaca College placed sixth at +14, Mount San Antonio College was seventh at +20, and Mount San Jacinto College rounded out the standings at +39.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


For Mount San Jacinto College, the top performance came from Shane Agundez, who finished with a 7-over 79. Shane\u2019s round featured a rocky start, but a strong mental approach and smart course management helped him stay competitive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was +4 through 4 holes and knew that wasn\u2019t who I was as a golfer. I trusted what Coach Bingham told me and just played relaxed. I trusted that I am better than I was playing, and I stuck to that,\u201d Shane said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The turning point came on the fifth hole, where Shane settled into his rhythm and played even par over the next 13 holes before an unlucky triple bogey on the 18th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAfter my 4th Hole, is where my game turned around. I was even for the next 13 holes until I got an unlucky break on my last hole. My mental game is getting so much better as we go,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agundez credited both course management and consistent ball striking for his ability to avoid bigger numbers on a difficult course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Several Eagles contributed to the team\u2019s overall score behind Agundez:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
