Sam Metzger opened the San Marcos boys golf season with a 76 to lead the Royals to a 409-411 non-league win over Arroyo Grande at Cypress Ridge Golf Course on Tuesday.
“We got the win, but we all know we need to improve a ton if we want to be a successful team this year,” San Marcos coach Aaron Solis said. “We need to learn how to adjust to the course conditions better. We did not adjust to the firm, slow greens today.”
Owen Avrit of Arroyo Grande was the match medalist with a 74.
