GAO release
Foster, Sear and Nagindas all share lead at Investors Group Ontario Mens Amateur Championship
Anyone looking for separation after round two of the Investors Group Ontario Mens Amateur Championship, July 12 at Ambassador Golf Club, certainly didnt get it. Multiple players followed up under-par opening rounds with more red numbers and now three names share top spot on the leaderboard: Concords John Foster, Unionvilles Max Sear and Auroras Shyamal Nagindas.
Foster was the first of the three to hit the course during round two. He began the day four-under and went on to replicate his round form the first day with another four-under (67). That moved him to eight-under (67-67-134). Foster had a good front nine, making the turn at one-under, but it was his back nine where he did the damage. He carded a bogey-free back nine that included a trio of birdies.
Fosters lead held up until the afternoon when Sear and Nagindas joined him in front. Sear, from York Downs Golf & Country Club and the defending champion, got off to a rough start with a bogey on the first hole. He made the turn one-under, but like Foster scored well on the back nine, finishing it three-under. Sear carded his second consecutive four-under (67) to move to eight-under (67-67-134).
As for Nagindas, from Meadowbrook Golf & Country Club, he began the day alone in second after an opening round of five-under (66). While he wasnt able to duplicate his success from day one, he came pretty close with a three-under (68) to join Foster and Sear at eight-under.
The three leaders dont have much room for error as a pair of players are just one back at seven-under for the championship. Bognors Josiah Dixon (70-65-135) and Stouffvilles Gajan Sivabalasingham (68-76-135) will both look to catch the leaders tomorrow.
After the round, the field was cut to the lowest 60 scores, including ties. The cut was set at three-over (145) and 63 players advanced to the final two rounds. The third round begins tomorrow at 7:30 a.m. with the final group scheduled to tee off at 10:50 a.m. Spectators are invited to Ambassador Golf Club to take in the action.
