CENTRE – The team of George Gann and Eric Underwood opened their round with 12 straight 3s Saturday while the team of Kenny Fulmer and Randy Lipscomb played the back nine in a day’s-best 27 to grab a share of the lead in the Cherokee County CC Two-Man.

Both teams signed for 15-under-par 56s and opened a three-shot lead over Wayne Garrett and Dawson Garrett.

Gann and Underwood kept their string of 3s alive with an eagle at No. 6. They had 16 3s in the round.

Fulmer and Lipscomb scored two eagles on the back – the par-4 10th and the par-5 14th. They birdied their final three holes to pull into a tie for the lead.

Closest-to-the-pin prizes went to George Morris (No. 5), Jeremy McGatha (8), Gann (12) and Tim Hill (17). Hill hit it to a foot from 141 yards. Morris was three feet away from 151.

The tournament concludes Sunday.
