SAUCIER, MS (December 4, 2016) -- The final round of the Mississippi Gulf Coast Open was cancelled due to poor weather and as a result Casey Fernandez and Kyle Ramey share the title at 3-under. Steve Wilson, 2-over, was the low amateur and he placed fifth.

In the all amateur Senior Division Dr. Stewart Horsley won the title at 4-under. Robert David Smith, 3-over, was distant second while Tracy McGuire (+7) was third.

The winner in the completely amateur Super Senior Division was Howard Waugh (+2). Lynn Pippin and Dave Czaplicki were second and third respectfully.

SECOND ROUND RECAP

Casey Fernandez remained atop the leaderboard but now he has some company with Kyle Ramey joining him at 3-under. The former Southern Mississippi players will hold a three-stroke lead when the final round of the Mississippi Gulf Coast Open begins Sunday at Grand Bear Golf Club.

Ramey moved into a share of the lead with a 1-under 71 in his second round. The day included four birdies and three bogeys. His final birdie came on the 11th hole.

Fernandez maintained his share of the lead with an even-par day that included two bogeys heading out and then a pair of bounce back birdies on the home side.

Zack Fischer is the closest pursuer at even-par and in third, Jamie Marshall is 1-over and in fourth while Steve Wilson is a shot further back in fifth.
