Carlton Woods Invitational: Lance, Booker, Pool in contention
THE WOODLANDS, Texas (May 8, 2013) --
Round 2 of The Invitational brought a little
more wind and firmer greens to the table, but
Randy Lance did not let up. Lance fought
through difficult conditions to card a 72 with
16 pars.
Staying consistent and playing for par proved
to be the key to success for Lance, who is
seeking his first Carlton Woods Invitational
victory.
Close on his heels are defending champion
Kevin Marsh and Houston City Amateur
Champion Bart Worthing. Robert Funk jumped
into the fray with the day’s only under par
round of 71.
With 9 players within 4 shots of the lead, the
championship is truly up for grabs. Round 3
action begins at 8 a.m. on Thursday, and if
history has anything to say, we should be in
for another great finish !
SENIOR DIVISION: POOL, BOOKER SHARE
LEAD
Mike Booker, in search of his third consecutive
Carlton Woods Invitational had another brilliant
stroll around the Fazio Course today carding
his second consecutive 71 to tie for the lead.
Doug Pool surged into a tie with Booker with a
sterling 33 on the back nine including birdies on
10,11,12, and 14. Hunter Nelson is quietly
sitting 1 shot back with first round leader Eddie
Lyons only 2 back.
These weren’t the only players in the field with
highlights, as The Woodlands High School
coach Steve Cribari holed his second shot for
eagle on No. 13, the first on that hole in CWI
history.
The third round is truly shaping up to be a
shoot-out with a strong leaderboard headlining
the final day of action !
