Bermuda Dunes, Calif. – The Mt. SAC Men's Golf Team wrapped up their final Orange Empire Conference regular-season event with a fifth-place finish Monday, posting a team score of 313 (+25) at Bermuda Dunes Country Club.

College of the Desert continued to set the pace in the conference, taking first with a 293 (+5). Cypress College came in second at 295 (+7), while Victor Valley College was directly behind in third with a 296 (+8).

Mt. SAC battled through a challenging day on the course, with flashes of strong play that were ultimately offset by costly strokes.

Hayden Beltran once again led the Mounties, carding a 76 (+4). Beltran showed his scoring ability with five birdies on the day, but a mix of seven bogeys and a double bogey kept him just over par on the 72-course layout.

James Bergman, Aaron Duran, and Cameron Miller each turned in rounds of 79 (+7), providing steady contributions to the team score. Jonathan Melton (80) and Aaron Kusnowo (83) also competed for the Mounties.

NEXT UP:

With the regular season complete, the Mounties now shift their focus to the postseason. Mt. SAC will compete in the Orange Empire Conference Championships at Bear Valley Country Club, hosted by Victor Valley College on April 27.

The Mounties enter the championship currently seventh in the conference standings and will look to put together their strongest performance of the season when it matters most.
