It’s definitely a good value,” said Mike McMonegal, assistant golf director for Los Angeles County. There were five one-day qualifying events held at each of the county’s five districts over the summer, and the top three competitors and ties from seven groupings competed at the championships, held Sept. 6 at Chester Washington Golf Course. Here are the winners and scores from the seven divisions: Boys 16-18: Jeffrey Lewis, 68 Boys 14-15: Lewis Simon, 69 Boys 12-13: Rito Armenta, 70  Boys 11-under: Jake Andl, 39 Girls 15-18: Taminie Panich, 73 Girls 12-14: Anne Cheng, 74 Girls 11-under: Bethany Wu, 40 (defeated Fountain Valley’s Lilia Vu in a one-hole playoff.)
