John Pak holds the lead at the Club Car Championship at The Landings Golf & Athletic Club after 36 holes, but a surging Davis Lamb is closing fast on the Korn Ferry Tour.
After two rounds of the Club Car Championship at The Landings Golf & Athletic Club, John Pak sits atop the Korn Ferry Tour leaderboard with a two-round total of 129, having followed his opening 61 with a steady second-round 68. Six birdies and two bogeys kept him in front, though the cushion he built in round one has narrowed considerably.
The story of the day belonged to Davis Lamb, who fired the low round of the tournament — a bogey-free, nine-under-par 63. Nine birdies without a single dropped shot put him at 132 for the week, three back of Pak but firmly in contention heading into the weekend. Canadian Roger Sloan matched that 63 in his own round, also carding nine birdies without a blemish, climbing 94 spots up the leaderboard to share sixth place at 134 overall.
Korn Ferry Tour movers and shakers at The Landings
Mason Andersen produced one of the most eye-catching rounds of the day, a bogey-free 64 featuring eight birdies that shot him 97 places up the standings to tied 22nd. Nick Infanti also made a strong case with a 64 of his own — seven birdies, one eagle on the par-four first hole, and just one bogey — to sit tied third at 133 alongside Joseph Bramlett and Blades Brown. Bramlett’s 66 was entirely bogey-free across six birdies, while Brown eagled the par-five third hole on his way to a five-under 67.
Jeff Overton provided the round’s headline moment, recording a hole-in-one on the par-three second hole during his second-nine rotation. Starting from hole 10, Overton played the back nine first before that ace on two, finishing with a 68 to move into a tie for 18th.
The par-three 12th and the par-three eighth proved to be the most unforgiving holes of the day, playing averages of 0.16 and 0.15 over par respectively, with the 12th yielding 34 bogeys among the 154 players. In contrast, holes five and 14 offered the best birdie opportunities, with 82 and 86 birdies recorded at those holes respectively.
Troy Merritt fired a polished 66 with eight birdies against two bogeys to join the group tied sixth, while Taylor Montgomery navigated a more eventful round — a double bogey on the par-four fourth was immediately answered by an eagle on the fifth, one of the holes playing as the easiest on the course. He finished at three-under 69 for the round.
Among those who struggled, Ian Gilligan could not sustain the momentum of his opening 62, posting a 73 in round two to slip to tied 14th. First-round leader Kevin Velo withdrew before completing his second round.
German Jeremy Paul carded a 71 to sit tied 64th, while compatriot Thomas Rosenmueller missed the cut with a 36-hole total of 142.
Two rounds remain at the Club Car Championship, with Pak, Lamb, and a tightly packed chasing group setting up what promises to be a competitive final stretch on the Korn Ferry Tour.
