Santa Margarita sophomore Beau Hossler and Jonathan Sanders were tied for first after 54 holes at Maderas Golf Club in Poway, both carding a 4-under 212 during the AJGA Emerson Junior Golf Classic.

But Sanders holed a 6-foot birdie putt on his first playoff hole, and Hossler had to settle for second place. He was one of three OC players to place in the top 12 as Los Al’s Daniel Lee (219) and Estancia’s Jake Knapp (220) tied for 10th and 12th respectively.
