Texas Four-Ball: 3 teams tied at the top
Horseshoe Bay, TX (May 18, 2013) -- Teams
jockeyed for position all day during the
second round of the 2013 State Four-Ball
Championship, hosted by Horseshoe Bay’s
Summit Rock Golf Club. Teams did their best
to go low during Saturday’s “Moving Day”
to ready themselves for the final round. All
three divisions have a myriad of teams
trying to win the first state championship of
the 2013 season.
Teams raced up the leader board in the
Championship division. There are three teams
tied at 12-under par 132 after two rounds.
The team of Steve Colwick and Rodney
Thompson turned in the low round of the
Championship division with an 8-under par 64.
They were able to record two birdies on the
front nine before rattling off five straight
birdies to start the back nine. They finished
their round with eight birdies and zero
bogeys. Also part of the three-way tie for the
lead are Josh Swanson/Joe Bendetti and
Chris Davis/Russell Helson. Both teams turned
in 7-under 65 second rounds with
Swanson/Bendetti making eight birdies and one
bogey and Davis/Helson pocketing seven
birdies in their bogey-free round. There are 25
teams that made the cut for the
Championship division, which fell at 2-under
par 142.
In the Senior division the team of Lee Sandlin
and Warren Huddleston seemed to make
every putt during their second round en route
to a second round 8-under par 64. The
Dallas duo turned in nine birdies on their card
with a single bogey. They will head into
the final round with a one stroke lead at 12-
under par 132 over Bob Kearney and Gary
Durbin. Kearney/Durbin find themselves at 11-
under par 133 thanks to a second round
7-under 65. Ten teams are at 5-under par 139
or better that made the cut.
Finally, in the Super Senior division three
teams find themselves in the red heading into
the final round. Leading the way is team of
Bob Hullender and Mike Rice. The team
from San Antonio followed up their opening
round 5-under 67 with a second round 1-
under par 71. They will have a two stroke lead
at 6-under 138 over Patrick and Mickey
Cooper, who sit at 4-under par 140. Alone in

For the second day in a row the State Four-

three 15th hole. Today’s hole-in-one was
recorded by San Antonio’s Zan Terry who used
a 9-iron on the 157 yard hole.
