Hanzel is already in search of his third AmateurGolf.com Ranking win of the season after claiming the Florida Azalea Senior and Golfweek POY Classic/Natl Championship previously but he will have work cut out for him Saturday. Brady Exber started the second round tied for the lead but shot a 2-over 74 so he is two back at even-par, Alan Fadel and Matt Sughrue are tied for third at 1-over while in fifth it is Patrick Tallent at 2-over. Defending champion Tim Jackson is tied for sixth at 4-over. ROUND ONE RECAP Two of the most talented players in the senior game, Brady Exber and Doug Hanzel are leading the George L.
