The first and only official PACWEST golf tournament was hosted this past weekend by the Camosun Chargers. This was the final tune up tournament before the PACWEST championship next weekend hosted by the Douglas Royals.

Following Day 1 on Saturday Nolan Richardson of the VIU Mariners was the leader in the clubhouse after shooting a 73, just one shot better than Josh Legge of the Royals and two strokes better than Alex Cordero and Tyler Robertson (pictured) of the Chargers.

Day 2 on Sunday brought some different results on the Highland Pacific Golf Club.

The Chargers used full advantage of the home course as fifth year veteran Tyler Robertson shot a tournament low 70 and captured the men’s title with a two-day total of 145.

The clubhouse leader Nolan Richardson collected a 75 and finished three strokes behind Robertson and finished second with a total of 148. Alex Cordero of the Chargers claimed a 74 on Sunday and finished third with a 151.
