Finishing tied for second, one shot back were John Laehn and John Welker. First round leader Jimmy Hamilton finished in sixth place. Joe Hackler, from Myrtle Beach, started the day one shot behind and despite a struggling putter managed to hit the shots he needed to shoot a 3-over-par 74 to clinch the victory. Aiken resident, John Laehn along with local Florence player John Welker tied for the low score of the day with a 2-over-par 73 but ultimately fell one-stroke short of the tie.
