It was a successful title defense for the San Antonio Churchill Chargers.
Three of the Chargers’ “Red” team shot below 80 Saturday and helped Churchill defend its champions bracket title at the Del Rio High School Brown Automotive Boys Golf Invitational Tournament.
Saturday’s final round of the championship bracket was played on the San Felipe Country Club course. While the players faced a slight wind and cool temperatures all day, the fast greens caused most of the golfers to shoot a higher score on the tournament’s second day.
Only the team’s top four individual scores from each day were used to determine the team’s total score for that day.
Churchill finished Saturday’s final round with a team score of 317 and won the championship with a two-day total of 622.
Churchill’s team included Kasen Schneider (75, 76 – 151), Matt Rodriguez (74, 78 – 152), Anthony Cross (81, 78 – 159), Joey Silva (76, 87 – 163) and Michael Gebhardt (80, 85 – 165).

Johnson’s team included Jake Judkins (71, 83 – 154), Justin Judkins (79, 80 – 159), Pearson Grant (79, 89 – 168), Phil Cremeans (81, 88 – 169) and Jon Lucas (88, 86 – 174).
Laredo St. Augustine finished third overall with a two-day team score of 651.
St. Augustine’s team included Eloy Gonzalez (74, 75 – 149), Rey Reyes (86, 77 – 163), Rogelio Jimenez (75, 91 – 166), Pedro Arguindegui (93, 90 – 173) and Enrique Ramirez (93, 96 – 189).

Del Rio fared worse on the tournament’s second day as three of the golfers on the team shot higher scores at the San Felipe course after Friday’s round at the Leaning Pine Golf Course on Laughlin Air Force Base.
Edwin Hyslop was the only Del Rio golfer to break 80 both days as he shot a 78 Saturday to finish with a two-day total of 157.
Matt Ortiz was the only other member of Del Rio’s team to shoot better on Saturday than on Friday as he shaved eight strokes of his Friday score and finished Saturday’s round with a 90. His two-day score was 188.
Joining Hyslop and Ortiz on the Del Rio team were Albert Rodriguez (81, 84 – 165), Michael Sondag (86, 95 – 181) and Mark Gutierrez (95, 112 – 207).
