Riding the coattails of an individual championship performance by junior Libby Fleming, Torrey Pines prevailed in one of the closest competitions in recent history to capture the CIF Division I Girls Golf Championship Wednesday at San Diego’s Admiral Baker Golf Course.

As Fleming led the way with back-to-back two-under par 70s on the 5,519-yd.

Three-time defending champion and top-seeded Rancho Bernardo (787) was third followed by a pair of North Coast representatives, Canyon Crest (788) and Carlsbad (799). (more)
