Resilient Riley Hangs On at GSH Series at Highwood Golf
22 June, 2021
Round 2 of the Golf Supply House Series 2-Day Event at Highwood Golf provided excitement throughout the day after an incredible Round 1 yesterday. The day started with what appeared to be an insurmountable lead for Riley Fleming (Lynx Ridge GC) but two of our competitors, Dillion Batsel (Desert Blume GC) & Mitchell Fox (Speargrass GC) managed to tighten things up at the top and make it an extremely interesting day on the Leaderboard.
Riley managed to grind it out and made some timely birdies today to end up victorious after breaking the course record yesterday. Riley carded an even-par (71) today to finish the tournament at -10 with a two-day total of 132. His birdie on #17 helped provide the 1 stroke cushion that he ended up winning by.
Right behind in sole possession of 2nd Place was Dillion Batsel (Desert Blume GC) who played an excellent round today carding 5-under par for a 66. Dillion dropped 5 birdies today to finish the tournament only 1-stroke off the lead (-9) with a two-day total of 133.
In sole possession of 3rd Place was Mitchell Fox (Speargrass GC) who carded the lowest Round 2 score of our competitors today. Mitchell played an outstanding round today carding a 6-under par 65. Mitch rattled in 6 birdies today! In sole possession of 4th Place was Weston Gillett (Lacombe G&CC) who shot 1-under par today to finish the tournament at -5. Rounding out our Top 5 was Marcus Clift (Coloniale GC) who shot even-par (71) today to finish the tournament at -4.
Congratulations to our Day 2 Skins winners of: Matt Yeo (Goose Hummock GR) who won 2 skins with a birdie on #7 & #18, Brady Karlson (Canyon Meadows G&CC) with an eagle on #4 & finally, Zander Ritson (Earl Grey GC) with a birdie on #14.
