Rory Hie, a 17-year-old senior at Cerritos High School in Lakewood, was medalist with a 67, including seven birdies.

“I got lucky on the greens today,” Hie said of the firm, fast putting surfaces on the South Course. “I tried to lag my long putts, and some of them actually fell in. I also gave away a lot of shots today. But I got lucky on a few shots, so it kind of evens out.”
