Palisades High golfer Chris Lee qualified for next Thursday’s Southern California Regionals in Murrieta by finishing 10th overall at last week’s City Section Championships in Griffith Park. Lee, a junior, carded a six-over-par 78 in the first round on the Harding Course’five strokes off the lead’and followed with a four-over par 76 on the longer Wilson course in the final round for a two-day total of 154. He actually finished in a three-way tied with Joe Donato of North Hollywood and Justin Nakagiri of Venice, but he was third among the three by virtue of a card-off. As a team the Dolphins shot 410 in the opening round and were in fourth place, 26 shots behind frontrunner Granada Hills. They shot a collective 412 in the final round for an overall score of 822, putting them 20 strokes behind fourth-place Venice. The top two teams, Granada Hills and defending champion El Camino Real, and the top 12 individuals advanced to the regionals. Van Nuys freshman Robin Jang won the individual title with an even par 144. Palisades finished third last spring, two strokes behind runner-up Cleveland.
