D.J. Fiese Concord, NC- 2007 Tarheel Tour winners Richard Scott and D.J. Fiese share the lead at 8-under-par with tour rookie Jerry Richardson after the second round of the Tarheel Tour’s Cabarrus Classic at Cabarrus Country Club. Scott, who won the last stroke play event of 2007 on the Tarheel Tour at the Championship at Walnut Creek, matched his first round 4-under-par 68 with another 68 in the second round to post an 8-under par total after 36 holes. Fiese, who won last July at the Olde Sycamore Open, followed up yesterday’s 67 with a solid round of 3-under-par 69 in the second round. Richardson, a native of Burlington, NC and a 2007 All-ACC selection at North Carolina State matched Fiese’s rounds of 67 and 69 to join the group at 8-under.
Just one stroke back are four players with bona fide credentials including the defending champion of the Cabarrus Classic William McGirt. McGirt, who resides in Boiling Springs, SC, posted a solid 3-under-par69 to go with his first round 68. Also joining the pack at 7-under par is Rivertowne Open Champion David Robinson who backed up his 6-under-par 66 with a solid 1-under-par 71. Ellington, CT native Jeff Curl, who made the cut in the Nationwide Tour’s Henrico County Open last week, also crept up the leader board with a 2-under-par 70 in the second round to move to 7-under-par for the tournament. First round leader Kevin Kisner slumped to a 74 after yesterday’s spectacular 63, but at 7-under-par, is still just one off the pace heading into Friday’s final round. Richard Scott
Kevin Kisner Blustery winds approaching 20 miles per hour from the late morning on, as well as slightly firmer playing conditions, made scoring more difficult during the second round. The difficult conditions contributed to a bunched leader board with 13 players within three strokes of the lead heading into the final round. Fifty-nine players made the cut which fell at 1-over-par 145. Those making the cut will compete for the $129,400 purse with a winner’s share of $20,000. The third and final round of the Cabarrus Classic will begin at 7:30 a.m. on Friday. As always, the event is free and open to the public.
