PALM CITY, FL (December 6, 2017) - On day two of the SOS Ralph Bogart the highest ranked player in the field has moved into a tie for the lead.

Decker will begin the final round tied with first round co-leader Allen Peake and Rick Woulfe, all of whom are 1-over.

Playing at Harbour Ridge Yacht and Country Club Decker didn't play spectacular golf on Wednesday but his 1-over 73 hat included three birdies and four bogeys was enough to earn a piece of the 36-hole lead.

Peake dropped back a bit in the second round with a day two 2-over 74 while Woulfe shot up the leaderboard with the round of the day, a 3-under 69.

Woulfe, the winner of the 2015 Dixie Senior Amateur, birdied three-times and bogeyed twice on the front nine to turn in 1-under 35 before catching fire on the second nine. Following a bogey on the 12th Woulfe birdied Nos. 13-16 in succession before coming back to earth a bit with a closing bogey.

Peake has put together a solid 2017 campaign in AGC Senior events earning points four times with his best finish a fifth place showing at the Geranium Senior Invitational.

Happy Rakestraw sits in fourth just one shot back at 2-over with Mark Knecht a bit further behind at 5-over in fifth.
