Another day, another mistake-free round for Seth Strickland.
The superintendent at Miami Shores (Fla.) Country Club (in photo left) moved one step closer to his second GCSAA National Championship Monday with a bogey-free round of 68 in the second round of the tournament at the Independence Course at Reunion Resort.
That second-round performance by the six-year member of GCSAA gave him a two-day total of 8-under-par 136 and extended a lead that was four shots at the start of the second round to a whopping six shots heading into tomorrow’s final round. His closest competitor is Shawn Westacott, the superintendent at Jackson (Tenn.) Country Club and an eight-year GCSAA member, who fired a 2-under-par 70 on Tuesday and is at 2-under-par 142 after two days.
Joining those two in the final group at Mike Stieler, the superintendent at Riverbend Golf Club in Coarsegold, Calif., who finished round two with a 3-under-par 69 and is at even par 144 for the tournament, and 2006 champion Joseph Anderson, the superintendent at Piney Woods Country Club in Center, Texas, and an 11-year member of the association, who was 2-under-par in round two and is at 4-over-par for the tournament.
Round-two play was delayed by about an hour because of frost at Reunion. In the Golf Classic, play at Orange County National was held up for about 90 minutes for the same reason.
