Will Hartman of Marvin, NC holds an impressive three-shot lead after round two. He posted one-under par 70 today and stands at 8-under par 134 overall.

The two people I’m playing with and everyone behind me are all really good golfers so it’s going to be tough, but it’s going to be a lot of fun.”
Kyle Haas of Winston Salem, NC finished the day at five-under par 137 overall to sit solo second. He had five birdies and three bogeys, posting two-under par 69 for round two.

With the help of the South Carolina Golf Association and the South Carolina Junior Golf Association, the new tournament was held for the first time in 1995.
