Melia Haller was on target with her ball striking on Tuesday, shooting a 40 at La Purismia Golf Course in Lompoc to lead the Santa Barbara High girls golf team to a 241-330 win over Lompoc in a Channel League match.
Haller birdied No. 2 and No. 9 and hit 8 of 9 greens in regulation.
“If she putted her average today she would have been even par,” coach Ryan Throop said. “Melia’s ball striking has been the best all year. She birdied hole 2 after hitting the flag.”
It was the fourth medalist honor for the sophomore.
Throop was pleased with the team’s effort on the challenging course.
“Our team has been consistent all year, even on today’s tough course with the breeze,” he said.
The Dons are 6-0 overall and 3-0 in league play.
