NEW LEADER IN THE CLUBHOUSE

Sunday, September 13 at 1:40 p.m.

I talked with Rick Ten Broeck before the championship began and asked him who he thought the favorites would be. He mentioned past champion Mike Bell (from the Country Club of Indianapolis) and a couple other prominent names, like George Zahringer, but when pressed, he thought Paul Simson of Raleigh, North Carolina had the best chance.

Turns out he has pretty good radar. Paul Simson is currently the leader in the clubhouse at two under par. Mike Bell is done for the day just one shot behind.

It looks like the cut line will be somewhere around 152. No matter what the number is, the inevitable playoff will commence Monday morning, because there simply isn't enough daylight to get it done tonight.
