In the amateur division, former 54 Hole PPA Record holder Steve Lyon and 2010 APA North Carolina State Champion Ray Guthrie set the pace with opening rounds of 12 under par 24. One stroke back with an 11 under par 25 was Archdale, NC product Randy Simpson. Tied in forth place with a score of 26 were 2006 PPA Womens National Champion Vanette Block and Winston-Salem product Chris Chafin. Article provided by The Southern Putting Tour |
