LONG BEACH, Calif. (June 1, 2014) -- Jonathan Saunders of Long Beach and Jordan Guillen of Placentia each shot 134 in the qualifying portion of the Long Beach Match Play to tie for medalist honors. Saunders shot a second-round 65, the low round of the tournament, and Guillen posted a 66 today. Guillen is the reigning champion, and is in a great position so far to defend his title.

Ed Susolik of Newport Beach survived a 6-for-1 playoff for the 64th-seed. The match play portion of the event will begin next Saturday, June 7th, with the round of 64.
