Leaderboard of TCGA Amateur Championship Day Two
Day two of the TCGA Amateur Championship wrapped up late Saturday afternoon at The Links at Hiawatha Landing.
The top three on the board in the open division starts with a two way tie for second place.
Michael Bucko would shoot two under par on Friday before going into today shooting even par on the front and getting three birdies on the back to go into Sunday sitting at three under; Bucko says how even just one bad hole he still was able to make it work.
"I definitely scrambled a lot to shoot one under like I did today," said Bucko. "Just one bad hole, one bad shot, but otherwise I really scrambled a good score today.
Also tied for second place Matt Maione, would have both four birdies and four bogeys on his round of 18 to shoot an even 72 on Friday, however he says the short game will need to be better going especially to his home course at Binghamton Country Club for day three.
"I am really comfortable there and pretty confident that I can go low if I can make some putts," said Maione.
In first in the Open division is Tom Christoffersen at four under. An interesting front nine with three bogeys but cancelled out with four birdies on the back nine. Christoffersen with back to back 70's for his first two days, but he says that the lead is very slim and cannot let up when Maione and Bucko are just both one stroke back.
"Obviously those two guys have some good sticks and I know they are very hungry for it just as much as I am," said Christoffersen.
The same three will be the final tee time tomorrow at 1:06 P.M.
