Robinson, Moore win Calif. Medal Play titles

Cody Robinson wins the overall California Medal Play while Nick Moore answers the challenge of Stevinson Ranch's "Gauntlet" to capture the Mid-Am title

"The Gauntlet" was far from it for the 2013 Mid-Am Champion Nick Moore. After making a 9 on the par 5 6th hole (a hole yesterday he eagled) he thought his chance at victory may have been thwarted. But the 30-year old caddy at Cypress Point took the hardest 3-hole stretch in the valley (holes 16-18) and tamed it with three consecutive birdies to finish his 74 in style and win the Mid-Am division by one over David Ober.

Playing with the red-shirt Junior at St. Mary's Cody Robinson, for the overall championship, Moore's birdie on 18 put some pressure on Robinson's 2 footer of his own for birdie. He made the putt and the captured the overall victory with a 75- 70=145 total. Robinson had 4 birdies and an eagle (11) in his Sunday round.

The net flight was capured by Korsen Yu who went 66- 68 to win by 16. The Senior victory went to "Mr. Fresno" -- Doug Johnson with an 80-77 157 total.
