Theo Andre-Fouet shot a season-best 72 and took fourth on Wednesday in the Eagle Classic men's golf tournament, hosted by Mt. San Jacinto at Soboba Springs CC.
SBCC placed eighth in the 15-team field with 385 strokes. Riverside was the winner at 367. Orange Coast placed second at 372, followed by Ventura (373), Palomar (380) and Mt. San Jacinto (381).
Andre-Fouet is a freshman from France. Niels Andersen and JB Jandro shot 76 for the Vaqueros and Brant Schenk carded a 78.
"Most of our guys got off to poor starts and we had a lot of big numbers," said Vaquero coach Chuck Melendez. "We normally play this course a lot better. We set a goal for all the guys to be in the mid-70s and four of them made it. I knew we'd need some red numbers (under par) to contend for the title."
The Vaqueros (21-12) will host WSC No. 1 on Monday at the Alisal Ranch Course in Solvang, starting at 10:30 a.m.
