Sommerhauser notched his first win of the 2017-2018 season thanks to solid play both days. In Saturday’s first round, Sommerhauser was the epitome of steady, carding a birdie and 17 pars for a 71. In Sunday’s finale, he’d post three birdies and three bogeys for a 72 to hold off co-runner-ups Justin Gums of Lodi and George McNeely of Carmel by a stroke.

Gums, who had a second round 73, earned second place after a card-off. He had a chance to catch Sommerhauser but played his back-nine at 2-over. McNeely, meanwhile, was stung by a pair of double-bogeys on the back-nine.

Fourth place went to Baron Szeto of Moraga at 148 after a 75. Darren Pang of San Ramon and Ryan Meyer of Oakdale finished T-5 at 152.

In the Girls Championship, Sangha also picked up her first victory of the season with two great back-to-back rounds. Overall, Sangha posted seven birdies to go against nine bogeys.

A late birdie on Sunday on the 17^th hole gave her two straight rounds of 73, enabling her to defeat runner-up Jacqueline Ha of San Ramon by four shots. Ha, who opened with a 74, posted a second round 76.

Third place went to Sienna Lyford of Roseville at 151 following a 76.
