LOMPOC -- Bakersfield College finished last in the five-team Point Conception Tournament hosted by Santa Barbara City College.
Liberty graduate Travis Millwee had the lowest two-day total of 160 (79-81) for the Renegades, while teammate Neil Bautista finished with 168 (83-85). The event was played Sunday at Marshallia Ranch golf course and finished Monday at La Purisma golf course.
"The course was very difficult, one of the toughest in California," BC coach Bill Kalivas said. "Not to make any excuses, but we battled wind gusts of 30 to 40 mph. But I think we learned how to play, and our shot selection got better, which gives them some good experience heading into our next conference match."
