Aaron Hickman, Tyler, kept pace with Jackson by firing his own two-under-par round for a two day total of 137, seven under for the championship. Hickman who already captured the 2016 North Mid-Am Championship this season, opened his day with a birdie on the first hole. A bogey on the third brought him back to even before he birdied two of the last four holes coming in. Including the ninth hole, Hickman recorded ten straight pars to maintain his red figure for the day.

Rounding out the top five on the leaderboard are Addison’s Sean Heidrick, Justin’s Brandon Scott and Dallas’ Levi Petiti. Heidrick and Scott both fired rounds of two-under-par to gain entry into the North Amateur’s penultimate group. Petit kept himself at level par for the day to maintain his position. Also, in the tied for 5th position was Dallas’ Rob Couture whose four-under-par round got him to five-under for the tournament.

Jackson, Shattuck and Hickman will battle it out tomorrow along the rest of the field to see who will become the North Amateur Champion. Hickman can become just the second player to recorded two individual North Regional Titles in the same year since Rob Couture did it in 2009.

Hurricane Creek Country Club played to 7,083 yards for the 2nd round of the North Amateur with scores averaging at about 76, four over par. The 2nd hole played easiest on the day with four eagles and numerous birdies. The 5th hole played hardest with just three birdies recorded all day.

Tee times will once again begin off the first and tenth tee starting at 7:30 a.m. CDT. Jackson, Shattuck and Hickman will go off at 9:27 a.m. off the first.
