College of the Canyons competed at the Riverside City College Invitational Monday, Feb. 27 at Victoria Country Club, battling through inclement weather to settle for fifth place in the 16-team field from across the state.

Canyons carded a five-man score of 392 to slot into the fifth position. With a 10 a.m. tee-off, golfers competed through a cold and foggy, but calm, 46-degree day and still-soggy course conditions.

College of the Desert won the event at 371 followed by runner-up Santa Barbara City College (377), Saddleback College (379), Cuyamaca College (389) and Canyons.

COC freshman Paul Grimonpon led the Cougars for the day with a score of 75. That mark tied for 12th place finish in the field of 92 golfers.

Kieran Bye tied for 20th with his round of 77, followed by Dom De Luca and Alexander Moores in a shared 33rd position at 79. Xander Artois finished the day at 82 to tie for 53rd place. Ben Stewart tied for 62nd but his round of 83 dropped from the team’s final score.
