sarniasports.com june 22nd, 2011

 

Lakefield, ON: With the second round in the books Graham Hill of Bright’s Grove continues to hold the lead at the Investors Group Ontario Mid-Amateur Championship at Wildfire Golf Club near Lakefield.

 

Hill, 25, matched his opening round score with a three under par 69 on day two to get him to six under par (138) for the Championship. His round was highlighted by an eagle at the par five twelfth hole. Over the course of two rounds the 2005 Amateur champion has played the par 4’s and par 3’s at even par and has played the par 5’s at six under par. He will carry a slim one stroke lead into the final round on Thursday.

 

Larry Cooper of Oakville is a shot behind Hill alone in second place after posting a 69 in round two giving him a two-day total of 139 (-5). Despite a bogey on the second hole Cooper, 54, put together a solid round which featured birdies at nine, eleven, sixteen and the par five eighteenth.

 

Toronto native Scott Sinclair rounds out the top three with a two day total of 141 (-3). The 30 year old carded three birdies to offset a pair of bogeys to post a one under par 71 in round two and sits three back of the lead heading into the third and final round.

 

The Investors Group Men’s Mid-Amateur Championship showcases Ontario’s best male golfers over the age of 25. After the completion of second round play the field was cut to the low 62 golfers. Final round action will get under way at 7:30 on Thursday morning. The final group of Hill, Cooper and Sinclair will tee off at 10:50am.
