Rick Cloninger (Fort Mill) and Todd White (Moore), who had a share of the first round lead, came in tied for second with Stan Sill (Spartanburg) and Jeff Stephens (Ware Shoals) at 16 under par for the two day event. Defending champions, Brent and Justin Roof finished six strokes off the lead at 133 overall.
The Tournament Division tested their skills at The Members Club – Woodcreek Course and saw Andy Gianoukas (Charleston) and Brian Lott (Summerville) take the over title with a two day total of 133. Mike Wiland (Aiken) and Ron Schroder (Aiken) finished one shot behind at 134.
