Nick Latimer of Brooklyn continued to show a hot hand as he went low at Sleepy Hollow on Friday, posting a sizzling 5-under par 66 to take a two shot lead after the first round of the 2009 Greater Cleveland Amateur Golf Championship.
Latimer, who on Tuesday was the medalist at the regional U.S. Amateur qualifier, holds a two shot lead over Pete Skirpstas of Medina, who posted a solid 3-under par 68. In all, 10 players shot par or better.
The second round continues tomorrow; starting times here.
SKINS GAME: Monty Guest made the only birdie on the par-4 third hole — and then for good measure holed out from the fairway for eagle on the par-4 18th — to claim Friday’s entire skins pot, good for $530.
