KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The second round of the Kansas City Amateur Championship was played on Saturday, July 18, at Shoal Creek Golf Course. There was a cut made after the second round to 66-golfers.
The morning started off with a 30-minute weather delay at Shoal Creek Golf Club. Once the weather moved through the area, the tournament began play. Shortly after the event began, another cell of bad-weather approached the course, causing another 50-minute delay. With the off-and-on rain throughout the day, it made it very wet and difficult conditions of play.
