Reimer Roars Into the Lead after Round 2 of the 2014 RDGA Senior Championships

 
On Thursday, these trophies will be presented to the golfers who capture the 2014 RDGA Senior Championships at Livingston Country Club.
 
Round Two of the 54-hole Rochester District Golf Association Senior Championships on Wednesday saw a change at the top of the overall leaderboard as Webster Golf Club’s Curt Reimer posted a 4-over-par 76 to take a one-shot lead going into Thursday’s final round.

Wednesday’s action at Livingston Country Club in Geneseo began with three players – Robert Zeman of Sodus Bay Heights Golf Club, Bob Weston of Blue Heron Hills Golf Club and Kevin Webb of Clifton Springs Country Club – all tied for the lead at 79 after Tuesday’s first round. But with birdies still as rare in Round Two as they were in Round One, Wednesday’s play centered on those players who could post the fewest bogeys.

On Wednesday, Zeman – the defending champion – posted five bogeys and two double bogeys, vs. one birdie, to finish with a round of 82 on the day, falling into a tie for third place at 17-over 161 for the two day total with Genesee Valley Golf Club Robert Brongo.

First –round co-leader Webb fared worse, posting eight bogeys, three double bogeys and two birdies to finish with an 84 – and a share of sixth place overall at 19-over 163.

Weston – a two-time RDGA Senior Champion – finished closest to the lead through two rounds, posting a second consecutive 79 for a 14-over 158 total to complete round two just one shot behind Reimer heading into the final round.

Open to all men, age 55 and over, who are members of an RDGA Member Club or who have their handicaps through an RDGA Member Club, the RDGA Senior Championships include competitions for Seniors (ages 55-59), Super Seniors (ages 60-64), Masters (ages 65-69) and Legends (ages 70+). At the conclusion of the Championship, the RDGA Senior Championship trophy will be awarded to the overall champion, with winners being recognized in each age category.

Leading each age category after Round 2 are: Brongo, in the Senior Division; Reimer in the Super Senior Division; Jack Mahan of Oak Hill Country Club in the Masters Division; and Brian Lingenfelter of Clifton Springs Country Club in the Legends Division.
