Former UCSB Gaucho Brett Patton scores a three-shot win, while Robert Capelli takes the Net division
Patton, who finished his college golf career at UC Santa Barbara last year, sat two shots behind first-round leader Jack Perry after the first round but held steady as the scoring got tougher on Sunday and everyone else backed up.
Chris Blystone was fourth at 149, with Brandon Gama fifth at 150.

Four players--Howard Hall, Mark Charmley, Mark John, and Dan Struble--tied for fourth at 150.
Once again La Purisima showed itself to be a supreme championship test, with no one in the Championship division able to match par for the fourth straight year, and only one player in the Net division in red figures.
La Purisima will host the Central Coast Senior Invitational June 9-10, as well as the La Purisima Masters (a two-man best ball tournament) September 14-16, and the Santa Barbara County Championship October 13-14.
