The Pro Masters 40+ division started its first of three rounds on the Brewster Ridge Gold layout with Dave Feldberg getting out to a slim lead. Feldberg shot the only bogey-free round and is 2-under after 18. Eight players, including Steve Rico, Barry Schultz, and JohnE McCray, are within three strokes of the lead as the 53-player field moves to Fox Run Meadows Wednesday for the first of three rounds there.
Pro Masters Women 40+ had the tall task of navigating Fox Run’s Blue layout in the whipping wins Tuesday afternoon. It’s similar to the men, as six of the nine players in the division are within two shots of the lead. Switzerland’s Natalie Holloköi and Courtney McCoy share the top spot at 23-over par. McCoy’s five pars were best on a day that recorded zero birdies.
