Day Two - Men’s and Women’s Mid-Amateur
Day two of the 2020 Idaho Mid-Am in Jackpot, Nevada felt very similar to day one, but then the script was flipped as groups began to make the turn headed to the back nine.
Karen Darrington, the day one leader for the women, extended her lead from one to three at day’s end, posting a 73 (+1) that saw three bogies and 2 birdies.
Kareen Markle is in second after shooting a 75 (+3) for the second day in a row. The middle of the leaderboard saw the action today though on the women’s side. Sandy Day surged into third after posting an 81 (+9).
The top three women will play together in the final grouping tomorrow to decide the 2020 Women’s Mid-Am champion.
As the men began to make the turn though, conditions went from calm and serene, to windy and chaotic very quickly.
There were plenty of birdies out there though, and Dan Stewart might have found all of them. Stewart made five birdies in round number two on his way to a 68 (-4), leaving nothing but scorched earth behind him. He has a two stroke lead headed into the final round as he sits at -5 for the championship.
Day one co-leader Brady Stanger kept his foot on the gas as well, making three birdies en route to a 71 (-1) to bring his tournament total to -3. Stephen Hartnett made his move after posting a 70 (-2) on the day to put himself squarely in solo third, only two shots off of Stanger.
The third and final day of the 2020 Mid-Am is tomorrow, and a champion for both men and women will be crowned. Make sure to follow along throughout the weekend for more updates!
