Two is the number of returning varsity golfers from last year’s team, while three is the number of starting freshmen on this year’s golf squad. Despite the low numbers, Costa was able to have a successful season. The team ended at 18th place in a field of 21 in the second round of CIF playoffs in Palm Springs on May 12.
Junior David Kim led Mira Costa with a 75, while senior J.P. Harper shot a 76 and junior Krishna Shegron added a score of 79. Despite these successes, the Mustangs could not surpass Santa Margarita, Westlake and Servite High School, the three schools moving on to the third round of CIF.
“I’m disappointed,” Kim said. “But instead of sitting around and moping, I’m going to work hard to lead my team again next year.”
Kim soared through the first round of Individual CIF playoffs but was eliminated in the second round after shooting an 80 on May 16 at Los Posas golf course in Camarillo. Out of 120 golfers, Kim missed the cut by two strokes.
“I feel like we left a lot in the tank for next year,” Kim said.
