THREE-WAY TIE FOR THE LEAD AFTER THE
SECOND ROUND OF THE CALLAWAY GOLF PGA SENIOR CPC
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. – At the halfway mark of the $285,000 event, Mike San Filippo of Hobe
Sound, Fla., Will Frantz of North Port, Fla., and Darrell Kestner of Glen Cove, N.Y., share the secondround lead of the Callaway Golf PGA Senior Club Professional Championship with 5-under-par 139. The
wind gusts picked up throughout the day at PGA Golf Club in Port St. Lucie, Fla., presenting difficulties
for the 264-player field, resulting in only 36-players breaking par.
San Filippo, the 2002 champion, began the second-round in a four-way tie for fourth place and is
attempting to join Ed Sabo (2000-01) of Tequesta, Fla., Roger Kennedy (1992- 94) of Pompano Beach,
Fla., and Tom Joyce (1990-91) of Huntington, N.Y., as a back-to-back winner.
“It was a bit of a struggle for me today as I didn’t play as well as I did yesterday (69), but I managed
to get it around with an under-par score so I am very pleased,” said San Filippo, PGA Life Member who
finished in a tie for 11th place in the 2004 championship. “The South Course has some bite to it as the
greens are more difficult to handle with an increased slope and I had a hard time putting on the greens
today.”
Frantz and Kestner, who are both playing in their third consecutive national championship, began
their rounds in a tie for eighth place and fired 3-under-par 69s through their solid play.
“I birdied the first hole and bogeyed number five, but then I made nine consecutive par putts and
finally ended the round with three birdies and a par on the eighteenth hole,” said Frantz, PGA Head
Professional at Bobcat Trail Golf Course in North Port, Fla. “I hit 16 of 18 greens in regulation but the
greens are a lot slower on the Dye Course than the South Course and I just couldn’t get any speed on the
putts, but I tried to remain patient.”
Kestner, who finished in a tie for eighth place in 2004, relied on his iron shots today, allowing him to
enter the final two rounds as a co-leader.
“I played great today as I hit the ball extremely well and close to the hole and only missed three
greens in the first 36 holes,” said Kestner, PGA Head Professional at Deepdale Golf Course in
Manhassett, N.Y. “I still haven’t gotten the putter hot and that is normally my best feature, but I am
staying very patient and trying to be there in the end.”
John McNaney, PGA Life Member of Spring Hill, Fla., and John Godwin, PGA Master Professional
at Godwin Creek Golf Course in Columbus, Ga., put together 2-under-par 70s for a tie for fourth place
with a two-day total of 140, one shot off the pace.
First round leader, Joseph Gutterman, PGA Retail Facility Manager at Palm Coast Golf Outlet in Fla.,
carded a second-round 5-over-par 77 for a two-day total of even-par 144, and stands in a tie for 18th place.
Seventy-four players made the 36-hole cut of 3-over-par 147 to advance to the final two rounds,
which will be played on the South Course.
Callaway Golf is in their fourth year as the title sponsor of the PGA Senior Club Professional
Championship. The top-35 finishers at the conclusion of Friday’s final round will earn a berth in the
2006 Senior PGA Championship, May 25-28, at Oak Tree Golf Club in Edmond, Okla. The winner of
the Callaway Golf PGA Senior Club Professional Championship will have his name inscribed on the
Leo F. Fraser Trophy and will receive a first place check for $20,000.
