Jonathan Khan to make Canadian Golf Tour debutΒ 

Former UA and Salpointe golfer Jonathan Khan will make his debut on the Canadian Golf Tour early next month. But first he’ll have to play in the U.S. Open sectional qualifying in Vancouver, Washington. Khan shot a 4-under-par 68 Thursday at Sewailo Golf Club to win one of four spots in the U.S. Open local qualifying competition and advance. UA assistant men’s golf coach Chris Nallen just missed advancing, shooting a 71, but he appears to have recovered from back injuries that knocked him off the Web.com Tour four years ago. Nallen recently shot a 65 at Tucson Country Club. “I’ve never seen his swing any better,” said Nallen’s former UA coach, Rick LaRose. “He’s ready to go.”
