 Nick Delio (left) and Geoff Gonzalez each shot nine-under-par 135 to share medalist honors at the 2009 California State Amateur (COURTESY: Katie Denbo, SCGA). The low 32 golfers from stroke play now advance to match play, which begins Wednesday and concludes with the 36-hole final on Saturday. Gonzalez and Delio are the first and second seeds, respectively. Gonzalez, a 21-year-old senior at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, fired an eight-under-par 64 in Tuesday’s final stroke-play round, just one stroke shy of equaling the course record of 63 set by Nationwide Tour player Roger Tambellini. Gonzalez eagled all the par-5s except for No. 14, in which he missed the green and settled for birdie. The 19-year-old Delio, the defending champion of the event, shot a 66 for the second-lowest score of the round. He birdied five of the nine front-side holes en route to eight total birdies. Others advancing to match play include first-round leader Scott Clayton of San Bernardino, 1999 California State Amateur champion Tim Hogarth of Northridge and 2005 champion Don DuBois of Newport Beach. Live scoring is available at californiaamateur.org. Check back tomorrow for a recap of the first round of match play. |
