EL MACERO, Calif. — A top-10 finish from graduate student Jaden Cantafio headlined a well-rounded performance from San Diego golf on Sunday afternoon at the El Macero Classic, leading five top-50 finishes for the Toreros as they claimed a fourth place finish of 17 total teams at El Macero Country Club (Par 72, 6862 yards). 

Cantafio, the Tustin, CA, native, carded rounds of 68, 73, and 76 for a total of 217 strokes that was one over par and tied for ninth place. 

As a team, USD combined for rounds of 282, 291, and 304 for a total of 877 strokes that was 13 over par and good for fourth place of the 17 team field. 

Ian Maspat set forth San Diego's next strongest performance, carding a three-over 219 after rounds of 70, 75, and 74 strokes to finish tied for 16th.
