With a third place finish at the Seneca Stroke Play Tournament on Sunday, Jason Jendre extended his lead to 37 points in the 2017 Cleveland Metroparks Player of the Year points race.
With 109 points total, Jendre has a solid lead through the first five events. It will probably take very high finishes in both the Course Championships and the Greater Cleveland Amateur by the same player to overtake him heading into the Fall Event Series.
Matt Paterini has jumped into the number two position with 72 points after finishing in second at both stroke play events.
Steve Blackburn Jr., who lead for most the series last year, enters into the top ten tied for sixth with his victory at Seneca.
In the senior division, Andrew Jendre is holding his lead while Paul LaGrotteria has jumped into second place with his top ten finish at Seneca.
