Aaron Smith of Westlake won the Simi Valley City Amateur Golf Championship by five strokes Sunday at Simi Hills Golf Course.

Smith posted a 12-under-par 130 during the two-day event. His rounds of 6-under-par 65 each day gave him the victory over Paul Misko of Thousand Oaks and Chris Russo of Westlake, both of whom finished at 7-under-par 135.

Taking fourth place at 6under-par 136 was Matt Siporin of Tarzana.

The Championship Flight was very strong, according to Simi Hills manager and head professional Brian Reed.

"There were (more than) 80 quality players contending for top honors in our Championship Flight, with players from throughout Southern California in the hunt," Reed said.

"The depth of the field was confirmed by the level of play, with 13 players completing two rounds at scores under par. This is a really remarkable accomplishment and far exceeds the results we've had in prior city championships."
