Enter No. 28 Donald Young, who handed Garnett an 11-2, 2-11, 11-7 loss at Life Time Rancho San Clemente on Wednesday to advance to the Round of 16.


Young, 34, is definitely making some noise in SoCal.

He defeated No. 33 Mota Alhouni in the Round of 64 on Tuesday, which set the stage for his duel with Garnett.
