CHICO — Heavy rain and winds cause Chico State to shorten the InterWest Chico State Invitational with only tiebreakers for the top four spots were played on Tuesday.
Sylvester Gama of Chico State stayed red hot and defeated Holy Names’ Stephan Edman with a par on the second playoff hole to earn medalist honors to wrap up the tournament at Butte Creek Country Club Tuesday morning.
Gama and the Wildcats shared the team title, the first at their host tournament since 2004, with Holy Names University. They each carded 3-over par 579s, which was 11 strokes better than Cal State Stanislaus and Saint Martin’s.
