Australia’s Steve Alan shot 3-under 69 on Saturday and took a shot of a shot after two rounds of Dick’s open at Andicott, NY.
Alan is at 12-under 132 after two trips around the N-Johi Golf Club. Buyekali is back a shot after 64 sizzling on Saturday, while Jason Caren is two behind after 68 carding.
Kevin Sutherland (66 on Saturday), Paul Goydos (68) and Australia’s Greg Challers (66) ranks fourth at 135.
The 51 -year -old Alan is looking for his second champion title. His first was in Gallery Classic earlier this year.
Alan made four beats to go with a bogie on 17 during Saturday’s era. He closed with a shirt to catch a-shot edge.
Alan 63 was red in the first round. He has the opportunity to be a wire-to-wire winner.
“Yes, it is always good to have a chance. It is often not the case, for me anyway,” Alan said. “I did not play my best today. I am going to play much better than yesterday to win me. I was very often like scrabing.”
“Really hung well,” he continued. “Almost got away with a bogie, made one at 17, but bounced back to the last.”
Weekly gave the card to eight Birds during his stellar bogie-free round. He made three straight Birds (no. 3-5) in his era and made two straight on nine backwards.
“It is good to come back into the dispute,” the weekly said. “I mean, this week is playing very solid and making some puts, which is fun to see.”
Karen dropped six Birds down and there were two bogies, both were coming back to Par-4S at nine. But he recovered to make a birdies at 16 and 17.
“I am just going to do what I am doing, just trying to control what I can do and not everyone does, (and),” Karen said. “I have dropped my family from here, so it is always nice to see them on the sideline, and they are always cheering, even if it is a Birdi or triple bogie.”
Billy Mefare shot 64 and is part of a seven-way tie for the seventh. In addition, Logjam’s share under 8 is Notah Begay III (66), Harrison Frazar (67), Jeff Magart (67), Jeff Sluman (68), Paul Stankovski (68) and genes (68).
