It's a great day for the Ban family as Shintaro's older brother Shotaro, who plays collegiately at Cal, won the 2014 amateurgolf.com Diablo Valley Amateur presented by Callaway Golf. Reinsberg, a former Cal golfer and five-time Alameda Commuters champion, had reached the championship match as the No. 27 seed and topped Ryan Wilson Saturday to advance.
