Rico Diaz was small but powerful in his match against Ken Cachia

All ages are represented as Open Flights match play gets underway -- Men's Championship qualifying is next weekend

SAN FRANCISCO, California (Feb. 25, 2018) -- The first round of Open Division match play was contested on Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 24 and 25 at Lincoln Park Golf Course, with it's amazing 17th hole overlooking the majestic Golden Gate Bridge. The match of the weekend was definitely that between 12-year-old Rico Diaz from the SF First Tee of San Francisco against 33-year-old Ken Cachia. Despite his age (and height) disadvantage, Diaz advanced to the next round by a margin of 2 and 1. It's all friendly competition at "The City" -- and Cachia was happy to pose for a photo after the match. Several matches went extra holes, including that between 13-year-old medalist Jackson Koivun and longtime Bay Area golfer Rick Shumate. Koivun ousted Shumate on the 20th hole. One-upping Koivun in terms of length of match, Jason Stephens took 23 holes to defeat Bradley Haskins.
