The Houston golfer is tearing his way across Florida, and while he lost in a playoff at the Gateway Senior last week the second-best player in the 2015 AmateurGolf.com Senior Rankings (he's first so far this year of course) was coming off a win the week before at the Old Corkscrew.
Today, Kearney added a 72 to his first round 69 to post 141 and lead a trio of players at 143 -- James Starnes (Ft. Myers, Fl), John Vaccaro (Sarasota), and Mike Occi of Columbia, Maryland.
Out of that trio, the one to watch is definitely Occi -- he won the tournament in 2012 and 2014 and this course definitely suits him. But the defending champ? That would be Kearney.
SUPER SENIOR
Gary Strickfaden of Southern Pines, North Carolina (what a great place for a golfer to live!) has taken the the lead over Tim Miller of Venice (Florida that is) after a solid two day total of 143 on rounds of 72 and 71.
The final round of this 54-hole tournament will be played on Thursday.
