Clampett Shoots 64, Leads by One
Bobby Clampett, in danger of having to qualify all over again for the PGA Tour next year, shot a six-under-par 64 Friday to take the lead in the second round of the Southern Open golf tournament.
Clampett’s 36-hole total of 131 over the 6,775-yard Green Island Country Club course left him one stroke ahead of Dave Rummells, Ted Schulz and first-round co-leaders Rick Fehr and Steve Pate.
Clampett, having what he called his worst year on the tour, is only No. 148 on the money list with $62,688 and would have to go to qualifying school to get back on the tour next year if he doesn’t finish in the top 125. A $72,000 first-place finish in this event would qualify Clampett for the tour.
Fehr and Pate each had 68s. Rummells shot a 64, aided by an eagle-two when he hit a nine-iron 146 yards into the hole on the par-four, 425-yard ninth hole, and Schulz had a second straight 66.
