De La Salle wins its fifth consecutive NCS Division I golf title

De La Salle captured its 11th North Coast Section golf championship, and seventh in Division I, on Monday as the Spartans finished with a team score of 358 to defeat runner-up Dougherty Valley by 14 strokes at Rancho Solano in Fairfield.

Josh Kim’s 68 led the way for De La Salle.

Barron Beinke chipped in with a 70 and Drue Sanchez and Tavin McKinley each shot 73.

The title was the Spartans’ fifth in a row over the past seven years. The championships were not contested in 2020 and 2021 because of the pandemic.
