Fresno City Amateur: Fagundes, Freitas take early lead
The 88th annual Fresno City Amateur is in full swing, with more than 150 golfers teeing off in the men’s championship on Saturday.
Matt Fagundes and Sonny Freitas lead the field of 156 at 1-under 71 after the first round at Riverside’s 6,714-yard par-72 course.
Fagundes jumped atop the leaderboard on his final hole with an eagle on the 471-yard par-5 18th hole.
Freitas was solid on his front nine, parring his first eight holes before rolling in a birdie on the 546-yard par-5 ninth. Back-to-back bogeys set back the Airways pro, but Feitas recovered with birdies on two of his last three holes.
Hanford High sophomore Lane Pulliam, the winner of the Len Ross Fresno City Junior Amateur last month, is one stroke back and tied for third with Michael Baca.
Defending champion Jason Anthony is tied with six others for eighth at 2-over 74. Four-time winner Danny Paniccia (1996, 2010, ’11, ’12) is tied for 14th at 75.
Sunday’s second round begins at 7:30 a.m. The 40 lowest scores and ties after Sunday will advance to the final round on Monday.
