Raymond Kim of Irvine made a four-foot par putt on the second extra hole to turn back Scott Blair and win the Yorba Linda City Championship at Black Gold Golf Club https://blackgoldgolf.com.
Blair, also of Irvine, seemed to have the advantage on the second extra hole with a 15-foot birdie putt, but blasted it well past the hole and missed the comebacker for par before Kim (pictured in Amateurgolf.com photo) sank the winner after taking his first putt from 25 feet off the fringe.
“Those fringes were so hard to judge,” said Kim, who also captured the 2019 Jack Kramer Memorial and shared the title in the 2018 SCPGA Junior Match Play Championship, in addition to winning the 2017 Green River Summer Championship and the 2017 TTC Coto De Caza Qualifier at Temecula Creek.
