Three players are tied for the lead after the second round.  Defending champion Katie Rose Higgins of Charleston, SC, Katie Kirk of Davidson, NC and Bailey Cocca of Myrtle Beach, SC all stand at 3-over par 147 heading into the final round. 

Cocca, who plays for Coastal Carolina University, cited practicing her short game after each round for an improvement in her score today.  Cocca’s 71 was the only sub-par round of the day.  “I went out and practiced yesterday for about two hours with my Dad,” Cocca said.  “I think that gave me a lot of confidence on the greens and I was able to make some great putts today.  I hope I can continue my solid play tomorrow.” 

Kirk credited her round of 1-over 73 to always having a chance at birdie throughout the day.  “I only missed a green or two all day and I was always able to have a putt for birdie,” Kirk said.  

Cocca also earned the 2-day medalist award after a two hole playoff with Higgins and Kirk. 

In the senior division Pat Brogden of Garner, NC holds a one shot lead over Patty Moore of Charlotte, NC and Susan Beaupied of Raleigh, NC. 

There is also a three way tie in the Carolinas division.  Bonnie Montgomery of Jamestown, NC; Charlotte Twitty of Chapin, SC and Therese St. Peter of Durham, NC all stand at 153. 

Cynthia Curry of Charlotte, NC leads the super senior division by five shots over Brenda Frye of  Mt. Pleasant, SC. 

Players were placed into flights within their division following the second round of play.  The final round begins at 8:30am in a shot-gun start for all players.
