leaderboard at the 35th
Trans-Mississippi Four-Ball Championship at the

Kelley and Vondrak started the day farthest back
of the lead compared to
their fellow frontrunners. After a first round of
even par 72, the team from
Omaha found their groove early making five
birdies in their first seven
holes. With an unfortunate bogey on the par-4
15th, Kelley and Vondrak
bounced back with a birdie on the par-5 17th on
their way to a 7-under 65,
good for low round of the day and a tie for the
lead.
Three teams sit in a tie for fifth one shot behind
the leaders at 6-under 138.

Jordan Cook of Oklahoma
City, OK, Draegen Majors and Lawrence Field of

under 136 heading into Thursday’s final round.

alone at third with a two round total of 6-under
