He had an impressive six birdies today for a second round score of two-under par 69. He holds a four-shot lead prior to the final round tomorrow.
“I hit the ball pretty good today,” said Gregory. “I kept it in play, and I was making a lot of putts today so that’s kind of what got it going. I’m planning for no 80’s tomorrow and going to try and keep the ball in play on every hole.”
Campbell Skelly of Charleston carded a second-round score of three-under par 68 to hold the second-place position in the boys division.

“I drove the ball really well today,” said Fernandez. “I was on the fairway most of the time, but my putting wasn’t as good. I’m just going to try and keep it simple tomorrow and try and hit fairways and greens. Overall, I just want to keep my composure steady and try not to get ahead of myself.”
