The Santa Ynez High girls golf team finished one shot away from first place at the second Los Padres League tournament on Thursday at Morro Bay Golf Club.
The Pirates scored 246 as a team while Cabrillo managed a 245 to win the tournament.
Santa Ynez’s Madison Johnson shot a 41 to take home medalist honors and Gracie Church’s 43 tied for the second best score on the day.
“It was really exciting to see Madison be the medalist because I have seen her working really hard at practice to continue improving her golf game,” explained Santa Ynez head coach Ashley Coelho. “Madison just narrowly missed a few birdie attempts today.”
Santa Ynez travels to Lompoc on Tuesday to take on Cabrillo in what should be a battle of the two best teams in the Los Padres League.

Santa Ynez: 246
