After the 2nd Round, Adam Meier (-26) holds a three stroke lead over Taegan Brandsma. (Last year I had a 7 stroke lead and lost it on Sunday). More importantly, 11 of the top 15 have either Campbell or Katayama so if they go south there is room for others to move up.
The worst score is currently held by Shaun Joyce who is one stroke ahead of Carl Ingrum entering the final round. Remember, these two places will pay $75 and $50 this year.
Saturday’s consolation pool of $100 will be split 5 ways between Jim Urlick, Terry Barker, John Bartoline, Keith Manke, and Kelly Conley. Their three players finished 10 under and the tie breaker was tied as well. Sunday’s consolation pool starts from scratch for all qualifying 3 man teams.
Special props must go to Taegan Brandsma who has four teams in the top 15! Nobody has ever had more than one team place in the money before.
Woods, Ogilvy, Villegas and Couples were the most popular picks, yet only Dan Marple had this team. Amazing.
Let’s hope the final round has some drama.
