A stumbling start didn't stop Palm Desert's Charlie Reiter from advancing in the 111th California State Amateur golf tournament in Newport Beach on Thursday.After losing the first two holes of his round-of-16 match at Big Canyon Country Club against Oscar Zimmerman of Cincinnati, Reiter rallied to win three of the last seven holes on the front nine, then eased to a 3 and 1 win.Reiter, who recently qualified to play in his first U.S. Open championship at The Country Club in Brookline, Mass., was one of the top 32 players in the two-day stroke-play qualifier for the championship.
