Bellamy led the charge for the Royals, shooting a 90 to place third individually and punch her ticket to the CIF-SS Individuals next week.
“She was very focused today and had a string of five pars in the middle of the round to put herself into a good place,” San Marcos head coach Sarah Ashton said. “We are excited that she is representing our team at CIF. She put in a lot of time to prepare for today’s round and it showed.”
Meanwhile, her teammates Mia Rocha (7th place) and Karenna Saleh (8th place) joined Bellamy in the top 10 but fell short of qualifying for the CIF-SS Individuals.
