Vu picked up his first win of the 2016-2017 season thanks in part to a solid first round 70 that included five birdies and four bogeys. On the back-nine, he’d card a 34.
A day later, Vu fell back to a 75, but he’d come up clutch when it mattered, making a birdie on the first hole (par-5 1st) of a sudden-death playoff to hold off Carper.
Carper, who hails from San Jose, caught Vu in regulation after posting a steady final round 71 that featured two birdies, two bogeys and 14 pars.
Three players—Owen Avrit of Arroyo Grande, Carlos Arieta Winsett of Los Altos and Hayward’s Moses Greene—all finished tied for third at 147. Avrit had a chance at joining the playoff but bogeyed both the 17th and 18th holes. Arieta Winsett earned third place after a card-off.
Girls’ Championship winner Tammy Lim and runner-up Andrea Gomez (left to right)
In the Girls’ Championship, Lim also notched her first victory of the 2016-2017 season in dramatic fashion, defeating Gomez with a par on the first hole of a sudden-death playoff.
Coming off a first round 79, Lim found a groove, posting nine pars on the front-nine. She’d card a 38 on the back with one birdie.
