Zack Swanson of Charlotte, N.C. took over the lead in the second round of the 3rd Carolinian Amateur at Keith Hills Country Club in Buies Creek, N.C. He finished the round 5-under-par with a score of 67, putting him at seven-under-par for the tournament.

Swanson, as well as the other golfers, dealt with steady rain throughout the day, and Swanson was able to finish his round minutes before a two and a half hour delay for unplayable conditions.

"I always think 'Everybody has to play in the rain.' It's all about preparation, and preparing for the worst, really," said Swanson, "I was pretty comfortable out there so I didn't mind the rain."

That was certainly evident as Swanson was able to post the lowest round of this year's tournament with an eagle, four birdies, and just one bogey. Swanson credited his improved scores to better approach shots, leaving him with makeable putts.

"I left myself with a lot of uphill putts," said the 2017 NCHSAA 3A State Champion, "These greens can be hard to read so leaving yourself uphill putts makes it a lot easier."

Brett McLamb of Coats, N.C built on his strong first round with another 3-under, 69, placing him just one stroke back from Swanson at the top of the leaderboard. Thomas Owen of Fayetteville, N.C., the 18-hole leader, and Amarin Kraivixien of Buies Creek, N.C. both sit at 4-under-par, tied for third place.

The cut after the second round came in at 11-over-par with 74 players making it to the final day. Sunday's final round will tee off at 8:00 a.m. with a trophy ceremony for the winner immediately after play concludes.

 

The Carolinian Amateur format is 54 holes of stroke play. After 36 holes, the field is cut to the low 70 scores and ties.

Entry is open to any male amateur golfer ages 16 or older as of May 18, 2018 who is a member in good standing of a club which is a member of the Carolinas Golf Association (CGA) and has a current USGA Handicap Index of 10.4 or lower.
