CdM’s Ury sizzles with a double eagle
- Share via
* GOLF: Corona del Mar High junior Rob Ury made history Wednesday,
recording the school’s first double eagle in dramatic fashion to lead
a 191-203 Pacific Coast League boys golf victory over Laguna Beach at
Aliso Viejo Golf Club.
Ury blasted a drive an estimated 325 yards into the wind on the
par-5, 537-yard seventh hole, CdM Coach Mike Starkweather said, then
benefited from some good fortune to hole his subsequent iron shot.
“I was watching from the tee box on the sixth hole, so I saw the
whole thing from about 150 yards away,” Starkweather said. “When he
hit his iron into the green, I saw him release his left hand after he
finished the shot, which usually means you miss it pretty badly. But
it banked off the front of the green, rolled to the back of the
green, stopped and rolled back down the hill to the cup and
disappeared. I couldn’t believe it. It was marvelous. And to see the
elation from the kid ... it was enough to light up the whole town. He
was so excited.”
Ury, as well as teammates Nick Sherman and Alex Chikovani finished
1-over-par 37 for the nine-hole match, three shots behind medalist
Mike Cavalari from Laguna Beach.
Brad Chamberlin (38) and Zack Rabinovich (42) rounded out the
scorers for CdM (7-3, 4-0 in league), which has now won 15 straight
league matches, Starkweather said.
Orange nips Mustangs, 6-4
* BASEBALL: Costa Mesa outhit Orange, 9-6, but also had 3-0 edge
in miscues, and to the Mustangs misfortune, all three errors came in
a four-run sixth inning as visiting Orange rallied to pull out a 6-4
Golden West League baseball victory Wednesday.
The sixth-inning blues spoiled an otherwise solid Mesa attack,
highlighted by Robert Rodriguez (3 for 3 with two RBI) and Adam
Beltran (2 for 3 with two runs scored).
Nate Hunter (double) and Dan Bitler (single) accounted for the
other two RBIs.
Costa Mesa falls to 4-6, 0-2 in league.
