Sean Etow did more than he needed to win the Monterey City Amateur crown on Sunday.
Etow’s opening nine foreshadowed what might be coming at Del Monte Golf Course. Etow, a former college golfer at the Academy of Art in his native San Francisco, had three birdies in his opening four holes. He made two more at Nos. 8 and 9 to turn in 31. A back-nine 38 closed out an opening 69 that gave him a one-shot first-round lead that he spent the next two days expanding on.
Already this year, Etow has finished T-13 at the NCGA Mid-Amateur and advanced to the second round of the San Francisco City Championship. He had top-10 finishes in two other city championship last year – Irvine and San Diego.
Behind Kao, Robert Funk was third at 2 over after consistent rounds of 72-72-74 for the week. Ben Soicher was fourth another shot behind that and Lucas Carper rounded out the top 5 at 4 over.
