After a sizzling 9-under par round of 63 in the two player Chapman format, Jim Krivanek and Brian Smith lead The Egg Invitational at Sand Ridge by one shot with one round left to play.
Krivanek and Smith posted a better-than-average 2-under par 70 in the morning better ball format, but then lit up the field in the afternoon with 11 birdies against two bogeys in the rarely used Chapman format (both golfers hit tee shots, each plays the other’s ball for the second shots, then the best of the second shots is selected and from there the two partners play alternate shot into the hole).
Wes Stafford and Matt Collins sit one shot behind the leaders after a pair of solid 67s.
Don Padgett III and partner Brett Kaufman took the lead after the morning better ball session with a sizzling 7-under par 65, but managed only a 73 in the afternoon.
If the weather cooperates on Tuesday morning, teams will complete a final 18 holes of foursomes better ball to complete the 54 hole event.
