Defending Champ Martin Trainer had his hands full with Darryl Donovan of Morgan Hill, winning 1-up.

SECOND ROUND HIGHLIGHTS - Sunday 2/22

St. Marys College golf coach Scott Hardy defeated Nick Sako, a Senior at Menlo Atherton H.S. who recently signed a letter of intent to play for Hardy at St. Marys in 2009.
