SAVANNAH, Ga. --- Jack Hall of Sea Island fired a 8-under-par 64 in the second round to lead the Georgia Senior Championship by eight strokes heading into the final day. The 27th annual senior competition is being held at The Landings Club-Deer Creek course, August 28-30.
Starting his round on the back nine, Hall began the day with a birdie on 10, added two more on 12 and 14, then went three-straight with birdies on 16, 17 and 18. Making the turn 6-under-par for the day, Hall suffered his only bogey on the day on hole four, but rebounded with birdies on five, six and eight, giving him the 64 total.
