DeBellis, 40, was “the old man” in the final threesome in Sunday’s final 18 holes. Nicolo Galletti, a 16-year high school junior from Pleasanton, had a 74 in the final round for a two-day total of 145, and Shintaro Ban, 15, a high school sophomore from San Jose, had a 75 Sunday for a tourney total of 146.

Tracy High golf standout Jennifer Kim won the women’s flight by posting scores of 78 and 80 for a 158, which was five strokes better than the second-place finisher.
