Golditch, Evans Send Chatsworth to Title

The Chatsworth High golf team edged regular-season champion Birmingham, 411-414, to win its second consecutive City 5-A League tournament Tuesday at River Ridge Golf Course in Oxnard.

Todd Golditch shot five-over par 77 and Marco Evans shot 80 to pace the Chancellors. Birmingham, led by Greg Goodfried’s 77 and Scott Bashin’s 78, had to count a 94. Four-time defending City Section champion Granada Hills finished third at 421.

Bashin’s performance was good enough to win the year-long Top Gun tournament.

The most impressive round of the day was turned in by reigning City Section girls’ champion Julie Park, a sophomore from Granada Hills, who shot 78.

All teams advance to the City Section Championships that begin Monday at Harding Golf Course in Griffith Park.
