Rohlf in Similar Position

-Billy Condon

In last year's Mid-Am, Greg Rohlf found himself four shots out of the lead going into the final round. After a solid round, Rohlf played the waiting game while the rest of the field fell back and he wound up in a four-man playoff that he eventually won.

Today, Rohlf again entered the final round four-shots back, and on another cool and windy day that is reminiscent of that final round at Bayonne, Rohlf looks to become the first player in the championship's young history to have his name etched into the Westmoreland Cup for the second time.

It should also be noted that Rohlf was out of commission for a large portion of the 2009 season due to injury. However, Rohlf is now healthy and finds himself right in the mix.

Vannelli Clicks at Creek

-Billy Condon

At the 2005 Met Amateur held at the Creek, Ron Vannelli topped Patrick Pierson in 38 holes to become the oldest winner of the championship. In yesterday's first round, Vannelli and Pierson were back at it, playing in the same group as Pierson shot 77 and Vannelli came in with a 73 and stands two-shots back of the leaders.

Wind Picking Up at Creek

-Billy Condon

With the morning wave of players all on the course for the 3rd MGA Mid-Am, scores have been wide-ranging thus far. A highlight has been Jim Graham making the turn at 1-under with a few other players close behind.

Although sunny, the wind is definitely testing the competitors. Gusting just under 20 mph, the wind speed is only going to pick up as the day goes as there is also a chance of rain this afternoon.
