San Francisco City Championship: Open Flight Qualifying continues
Rod Kho shot 79 on the second day of Open Flight qualifying at Presidio GC
Wave two of The San Francisco City Championship got underway Sunday at Presidio Golf Course in San Francisco, Calif.
The first wave of qualifying teed of on Saturday, with Keanu Phillips shooting a 1-over 73 to pace the field. However, he scored that number playing in the first group and suffering six penalty strokes due to lost balls plugging in the wet conditions.
