PEBBLE BEACH - Rob Thompson finds himself still standing a top the leaderboard at the conclusion of day two of the CGA State Senior Amateur at Poppy Hills. 

Leader Rob Thompson

Lee Jeberjahn

Thompson’s four-over-par 76 and two-day 146 total was enough to retain his lead as others found themselves continually scrambling to save par.  Currently tied for fourth with a two-day total of 148, Lee Jeberjahn of San Luis Obispo observed, "the course played more difficult today ."  The 6,530-yard layout played to a 79.4 stroke average, one half stroke higher than the first round.

An ensuing birdie on No. 14 was followed by a bogey two holes later. Thompson was happy with a closing par. The Merced resident learned from his 2004 victory in this event that you need to play one shot at a time and remain  focused for the entire round to be successful. 

Charley Griswold of Ojai and Frank Abbot of Napa are currently tied for second, one stroke behind Thompson, after shooting respective two-day 147 totals.  Defending champion Steve Bogan of Placentia dropped into a tie for seventh place with a second-round 79.

The North-South team competition completed today as the South was able to edge the North team by one stroke.  After posting an eight-stroke first round lead, the defending champions from the North were unable to match the talent and persistence from the South.  Four players completed each team and the best three scores counted each day. Kemp and Kent Richardson led the charge for the South with 71 and 73 rounds Thursday.

With the first 36 holes played, the field has been narrowed to the top 33 with ties, with the cut coming at 155.  Competition will conclude Friday with players teeing off at 7:30 a.m.  Spectators can keep up-to-date with live scoring online.

The North team: Mark Miller, Gary Vanier, Bill Bowen, Rob Thompson and captain Mark House.
