Brad Benkey, of Ventura, Calif. shot his second consecutive 6-under-par 66 yesterday to move into a tie for first place after two rounds of the second event of the $100,000 Pro Tour Hawai‘i series at the Waikoloa Village Golf Club on the Big Island of Hawai‘i.
Benkey and Joey Snyder, of Scottsdale, Ariz., are at 12-under 132 after 36 holes. Snyder opened with a course-record tying 63 on Tuesday.
"It is very hard to repeat what I did in the first round," said Snyder. "I didn’t strike the ball as well. I’d love to be able to do it again and again, but sometimes you have great days and sometimes you have okay days and just make it around with a decent score."
Mark Henderson, of Barrie, Ontario, shot a 68 and is tied with Stephen Summers, of Dallas, Texas, who fired a 65 at 134.
Honolulu’s Ivan Cunningham (72) and Gregory Meyer (69) are seven shots back at 139. Hilo’s Kevin Hayashi, who won last week’s first event at Waimea Country Club, shot 72 yesterday and is at 143.
