Branyon Takes Lead to Final Round

Josh Branyon continued his steady play during the second round of the 36th SCGA Mid-Amateur Championship being played on the Ocean Winds Course at the Seabrook Island Club on Seabrook Island, SC.

Players were faced with little to no wind and clear blue skies throughout the second round that led to several good rounds on moving day. First Round leader Josh Branyon (Honea Path) didn't let off the gas carding four birdies and one bogey on his next to last hole in route to a second straight round of 69. The 2011 SCGA Mid-Amateur Champion will carry a three shot lead heading into Sunday’s Final Round.

Sitting alone in second place is Matt O'Quinn (Beaufort) after shooting a second round of two under par 70. Michael Maness (Greenville), Todd Hendley (Greer), and Robert Lutomski (Simpsonville) are all tied for third place at 147 heading into Sunday. Defending champion Chris Eassy (Greer) fired a second round of one over par 73 to find himself in a tie for seventh place.

The cut line fell at 165 with 61 players advancing to Sunday’s Final Round.

The final round will begin on Sunday at 8.00 am off of holes #1 and #10.  For full information including pairings and detailed scores – SCGA Mid-Amateur Championship
