Blanchard will take a slim lead into the final round at Carlton Woods, but the defending champion is right on his heels
Blanchard, of Scottsdale, Ariz., finished T-8 at this event last year. After two rounds this year, he is at 3-under 141. Crucial in his 3-under 69 were three birdies in his opening eight holes. With a birdie at No. 17, Blanchard took the lead.
As for Deraney, the 35-year-old Belden, Miss., resident is coming off a T-27 at Seminole Golf Club during last week’s prestigious George L. Coleman Invitational. He stumbled to the finish on Wednesday, however, with bogeys at two of his final three holes.
In the senior division, Kip Estep of Rockwall, Texas cruised to a 3-under 69 and currently sits atop the leaderboard tied with Larry Nunez of Austin, Texas. Both are 2 over so far. Thomas Immenschuh of San Antonio, Texas and first-round leader Lewis Stephenson of Mansfield, Texas are two shots back.
