Atkinson Takes the Lead at the North Mid-Amateur

The second round of the 2013 North Mid-Amateur presented by
UST Mamiya got off to late start after a storm delayed tee times an hour and
forty-five minutes. When the storm cleared, the field took advantage of the
calm conditions and receptive greens. The calm weather allowed over half the
field to finish before turning into heavy rain that caused another delay of
almost 40 minutes. Fortunately enough light was left to easily finish the play
of round two.

Zach Atkinson fired the low round of the tournament posting
a 5 under 67 to take the overall lead at 4-under par. Atkinson bogeyed only one hole during
his round while birdying  three holes on
each nine.  Brandon Scott played
exceptionally well shooting 69 to move into second place at 2-under par. Scott had 2 bogeys
on the day and birdies on 1,2,10,12, and 16. Jay Csipkes and David Reynolds
both equaled their output from round 1 shooting an even 72 to tie for third at even par going into the final round tomorrow.

The final round of the 2013 North Mid-Amateur will begin
Sunday morning at 8 a.m. off holes #1 and #10. Pairings for tomorrow can be
