Men’s and women’s college golf headlines Monday sports in the desert
We had a pair of college golf tournaments in town on Monday with the first round of the Prestige at PGA West in La Quinta and the final round of the Alice and John Wallace Classic at Monterey CC in Palm Desert.
North Carolina leads the Prestige after one round, led by top-ranked amateur David Ford who shot 5-under 66.
The Prestige will continue through Wednesday at the Norman Course in La Quinta.
Meanwhile, Oregon's women team won their tournament, setting records in the process.
