Two teams share the lead after the second round of the 23^rd North Carolina Four-Ball Championship. Greg Earnhardt from Greensboro, NC & Dustin Moore from Burlington, NC and the team of Stephen Lavenets from Apex, NC & Clay Watkins from Mebane, NC lead the field of 60 teams with a score of twelve-under par 132. Each team posted matching scores of 66 over the first two rounds.

The tandem of Earnhardt & Moore “brother-in-lawed” their way to the lead as neither player has birdied the same hole over 36 holes.  “I don’t know what about it, but we just play good together…I can cheer him on,” Earnhardt said of his partnership with Moore. “We ham and egged it well, and he gets me inspired to hit good shots.” Moore said of his teammate.

Good friends, Lavenets & Watkins got off to a fast start in their second round, finding themselves five-under through six holes. “I made a thirty footer on first hole which helps, Clay birdied four and I ripped a three iron to four feet on five for eagle, then I made the first birdie on six,” Lavenets commented on their impressive start. The going got tough for the duo as they finished the rest of the round only one-under par.  “We made a big par on nine, it was huge,” Watkins said on his 12-footer he made on nine for par to keep their round together.

Sitting one shot back are two-time champions and brothers, Brian Gauley from Wake Forest, NC & Mark Gauley from Raleigh, NC. At ten-under par, the team of Chris Cassetta from High Point, NC & John Major from Winston Salem, NC are just two behind. Back to back defending champions, the team of JD McNeill from Raleigh, NC & Jerry Richardson from Cary, NC find themselves six shots of the pace in a tie for eighth.

After the second round, the field was cut to the low 30 teams for the final round.
