Lodi golf inches closer to TCAL title

The Lodi High boys golf team remained undefeated in Tri-City Athletic League action, posting a 188-196 win over Lincoln at the Brookside Country Club, par 36, in Stockton on Tuesday afternoon.

With four league matches left, Lodi (6-0 in the TCAL, 111) is in the driver’s seat toward clinching the league title. Lincoln has only two league losses, both to the Flames. Should both teams win out their remaining league matches, the only chance Lincoln can win a share of the title is if the Trojans beat the Flames at the league tournament, and by three spots of the six.

“We’re probably in good shape,” said Lodi coach Jim Staal. “We are in control of our own destiny.”

Justin Gums was 2-under par at 34 for the Flames, and Dean Ky 1-under 35. Evan Seibly followed with a 38, Trevor Topham 40 and Jack LeBaron and Tyler Rowlands a 41 each.
