Camosun fourth at golf nationals

The Camosun College Chargers finished fourth overall at the 2011 PING CCAA National Golf Championships. The Chargers fell from second overall at the end of the first round, which coach John Randle said made for a disappointing day, but he’s happy with how his players reacted to the turn of events. “The guys tried their best and they conducted themselves like gentlemen,” he said in a press release. “I’m proud of them.”
