At one point during the round he trailed defending champion Paul Simson by one stroke but Simson’s double bogey on the 18th hole gave Lutz the lead heading into tomorrow final round.
“I got off to a bit of a slow start and bogeyed the first hole. Paul [Simson] got off to a nice start when I was just kind of struggling through the front nine. I just kind of battled all day. Today was all about trying to hang in there,” said Lutz who is playing in his first Canadian Men’s Senior Championship.
“My win at Portrush will certainly help any time you get into a major tournament and have some success,” who won the 2011 Seniors Open Championship at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland. “I hope that win can add up to some confidence going forward tomorrow. I know Paul [Simson] is a great competitor so we’ll have a good test tomorrow.”
Defending champion Paul Simson of Raleigh, N.C., remains in second place after an even-par second round (71). Simson carded six birdies on the day but a pair of double bogeys dropped him one stroke back heading into tomorrow final round.
