Gainey goes in front at Chiquita Classic
Golf Betting Lines
07/16/2010 -
Maineville, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tommy Gainey posted a six-under 66 on Friday
to move atop the leaderboard after the second round of the inaugural Chiquita
Classic.
Gainey finished 36 holes at 14-under 130 at TPC River's Bend and is one stroke
clear.
Chris Kirk, the leading money winner on the Nationwide Tour this year, fired
an eight-under 64 on Friday to vault into a tie for second place with Justin
Smith and Peter Gustafsson, both of whom had 66s in round two. The trio is
knotted at 13-under 131.
Joe Affrunti (65), Colt Knost (66), Chris Nallen (66) and Brendan Steele (65)
share fifth place at minus-12.
Gainey, who opened with an eight-under 64 on Thursday, flew out of the gate on
Friday with three birdies in his first four holes. He recorded birdies at the
next two par fives, Nos. 8 and 10 and added a birdied at the 11th.
"I had it going through 11," acknowledged Gainey. "Seven-under after 11 is
pretty good. I wasn't thinking about 59 or 62 or anything like that. I just
wanted to keep hitting good shots and keep making some birdies."
He accomplished half of his goal.
Gainey hit a good shot to 12 feet at the par-three 12th, but missed the birdie
try. One hole later, Gainey knocked his approach to 10 feet, but once again,
his birdie effort stayed above ground.
At the par-four 14th, Gainey played yet another strong iron shot, this time
leaving himself 20 feet for birdie. He not only missed the birdie putt, but
three-putted for a bogey to fall to 14-under par.
Gainey's group got behind thanks to the group in front looking for a ball and
calling in a rules' official. He finished with four straight pars, but wasn't
elated about the midway lead.
"The way I played the last five holes, I'm really not happy," admitted Gainey.
"I just need to get away from it and relax. I had the momentum going after 11
and then we started waiting 15 to 20 minutes on every hole, that damaged my
momentum. It's my fault. I'm the one who let it bother me."
Gainey won this year's Melwood Prince George's County Open for his only
Nationwide Tour victory. He is fifth on the Nationwide Tour money list.
Stephen Poole (66) and David Mathis (64) are tied for ninth at 11-under 133.
NOTES: First-round leader Peter Tomasulo, who fired a 61 on Sunday to win last
week's Wayne Gretzky Classic, followed his 10-under 62 on Thursday with an
even-par 72 on Friday. He fell into a tie for 11th at 10-under par...The 36-
hole cut fell at six-under 138 with Kevin Chappell, No. 2 on the money list,
missing the weekend.
