Two Lead at Senior Am

Aug 24, 2009

With rounds of 2-under-par 68 at Tippecanoe Lake CC August
24th, past Senior Open champion Tom Jones of Terre Haute and Mid Amateur
runner-up Terry Werner of Dyer lead the IGA Senior Amateur. “The senior ams in
Indiana are pretty strong. It will take every bit of that again tomorrow to
win,” said Jones. With the course in great condition and playing at only 5900
yards, he thinks if the wind stays down the scores could go really low during
the final round.

                                   

The shorter distance is complicated by tree-lined fairways,
difficult par-3’s and holes where placement of shots is more important than
power. “I kept the ball in play off the tee and avoided the trees,” explained
Jones. “And I stayed even on the par-3’s which is the secret on this course.
They’re all really good holes.” One par 3 he was able to birdie was hole 8, his
second-to-last finishing hole when he stuck hit tee shot to two feet. At the 9th
he placed his approach within a foot of the cup to round out the day.

 

Tied in third place is Sam Till of Fort Wayne and John Wray
of Fort Wayne who shot 69.
