The N.Y.-based team of Andrew Kay and David Fries shot into the lead Friday in Round 2 of the John R. Williams Invitational
In the mid-amateur division, meanwhile, things are a little bit tighter. Andrew Kay and David Fries, from Pittsford and Penfield, N.Y., respectively, lead with an 8-under 132. Two more teams are within two shots, however.
There were three rounds of 66 on Friday, which was the low number of the day. Stephen Hale and D.J. Fernando, both of Bakersfield, Calif., posted a 66 that carried them into second place, sandwiched between Kay/Fries and Hosie/Bundy.
Daniel Licursi and Chris Kamin, of Chandler and Phoenix, Ariz., also had that number and that team is tied for fourth. So did the Chicago-based team of Kyle Moran and Charlie Waddell. They are tied for sixth.Beautiful morning at Oak Hill! Round 2 of @JRWilliams4Ball is about to get underway. This pic is from behind the iconic 13th green on Oak Hill’s flagship East Course.
