Fresno's own Jason Higton posts back-to-back 2-under 70s to lead by one heading into the final round
FRESNO, Calif. (May 28, 2016) -- Fresno native Jason Higton leads the Fresno City Championship by one shot after back-to-back rounds of 2-under 70.
Higton's round included six birdies four of which came consecutively on holes 16 through 1 (started on 10). Higton will need more birdies tomorrow as he looks to fend of Colby Thomason and Rich Gilkey who sit a 3-under par and tied for 2nd.
The final round is set to begin a 7am local time Monday.
