Costa Mesa, Calif. – The Mt. San Antonio College Men's Golf Team had their best conference outing of the season on Monday, March 16, finishing fifth with a team score of 303 (+15). The competition took place at the Costa Mesa Country Club, hosted by Orange Coast College.

Victor Valley College led the field with an impressive 278 (-10), followed by College of the Desert at 282 (-6). Riverside City College rounded out the top three with a 297 (+9).

Leading the way for the Mounties once again was Hayden Beltran, who fired a 73 (+1) to tie for 13th place individually. Beltran recorded five birdies on the day, marking his strongest conference performance of the season.

Aaron Kusnowo followed with a 76, while Aaron Duran and James Bergman each carded 77s (+5) to round out the team score of 303.
