INDUSTRY — Andrew Larkin (Los Angeles) shot a 5-over 76, Rammi Hazzaa (Hercules) posted a 77 and the Occidental College men's golf team finished in sixth with a team score of 321 at the third SCIAC tournament of the year at Industry Hills Golf Course on Thursday.

Larkin finished tied for 14^th overall, the third time in three SCIAC tournaments that he's finished among the top 20. The senior's best round came in SCIAC No. 1 when he was sixth at Sterling Hills GC.

"Larkin was solid as always," Occidental coach Erik Johnson said. "Overall we need to be a little bit more consistent."

Hazza had his second best day of the spring. He posted Oxy's top score at Sterling Hills, finishing in fifth with a 2-over 74 on Feb. 12.

"I'm very proud of Rammi," Johnson said. "He's scored very well for us now in two SCIAC tournaments. His improvement is a direct correlation to his work ethic and practice."

Redlands' Perry Johnson was the low medalist with a 68 and the Bulldogs as a team won the tournament with a 292.

Freshman Miles Cole (Los Alamitos) posted a 82, Oxy's third-best score.

The Tigers let another opportunity slip away a bit, but they're still confident about their chances with two SCIAC tournaments and the SCIAC championships still left on the schedule.

"We had a very good opportunity to make strides in conference, but we came up a little bit short," Johnson said. "We're still encouraged that we can make a run at this thing."

The Tigers are back on the course at Via Verde for SCIAC # 4 on April 1.
