DALLAS, TX (June 9, 2006)--No one has been able to separate themselves from the pack in the 2006 Texas State Amateur Championship being played at Dallas Country Club. Robert Gwin of Houston posted the low round in day two with a five under par 65, and 16 year old Alex Moon followed up his opening round 66 with an even par 70 to share the lead at four under par 136 at the half-way point of the 97th Texas State Amateur. That duo holds a slim one stroke over six players, and a total of 24 players are at even par or better and within four shots of the lead with two rounds still to play.

Jeff Lee of McKinney had a one stroke lead going to his final hole (#18), but had a lost ball and suffered a double bogey six to fall into the large group at tied for second at three under par (137). Along with Lee at three under par are first round leader Cody Gribble of Dallas (73), last year’s State Am runner-up Zack Reeves of Arlington (67), Bob Neal of Mansfield (71), and Jeff New and Andy Cooper, both from The Woodlands (69).

A total of 62 players made the 36 hole cut, which came at five over par 145. At 6,363 yards Dallas Country Club may not be long by today’s standards, but it has held up to the challenge of the state’s top amateur players. Narrow fairways bordered by long Bermuda rough, along with firm and fast greens have placed a premium on shot making and patience.

The third round gets under way at Dallas Country Club at 8:00 AM Saturday, with the leaders teeing off at 11:20 AM.
