DALLAS, Texas (Sept. 22, 2012) -- Another day of blue skies and little wind welcomed the field for the second round of the 2012 Texas Mid-Amateur Championship. The Blue Course at Dallas Athletic Club saw players take advantage of moving day with Evan Nash taking a two stroke lead into the final round. Ten players sit within three shots. Nash started the day six shots back of the leader at even par 72 after the first round. The Dallas native grew up playing Dallas Athletic Club, recorded two birdies during his front nine to turn at two-under par 34. Nash continued his stellar play with four more birdies on the back nine, with his only blemish being a bogey on the par three 16th hole to post a second round score of 5-under par 67.
