Sunday, 6:00 p.m.
It's looking like the cut line will be right around 151.
Some interesting sidebar stories have emerged today:
Bill Ploeger, a 69 year-young player from Columbus Ohio will surely make the cut! Now that's some impressive super senior play.
Local favorite Tom Studer from Joliet has made the cut.
George Zahringer, with an assist on the bag from Beverly member Paul Richards (himself a former Bev caddie) shot 69 today and is well under the cut line at 142.
Former US Amateur champ Vinnie Giles is at 145 and will be in the match play round tomorrow.
Buddy Alexander, former US Amateur champ and the coach of the Florida Gator Men's Golf Team (which arrives this week to play in the Fighting Illini Invitational at Olympia Fields) is also at 145. Spectacular short game out of the Gator coach.
Paul Simson, Rick Ten Broeck's Pick to Click, shot 67 today, the low round in stroke play thus far and is tied for the lead at this point. He is a two-time winner of the British Senior Amateur and a winner of the Canadian Senior Amateur. He would be a great guy to follow in tomorrow's match play.
Gary Daniels carded a 9 on the 13th hole (I'm sure there are painful details, but I haven't heard any!) but still shot 39 on the back nine. Talk about hanging in there!
Finally, first round leader Jeff Burda has made the cut and sits at 142.
We're off to watch the Bears annihilate the Packers but hope to see some of you tomorrow!
