Molina Leads In Costa
Rica
Argentina's Mauricio
Molina fired a six-under
65 on Friday to take the
lead midway through the
Canadian Tour's Costa
Rica Golf Classic.
Molina moved to
six-under-par 136 for a
two-shot advantage over
Venezuela's Diego
Larrazabal (69) after 36
holes at Reserva Conchal
Golf Club.
Mitch Gillis (66), Clark
Burroughs (70) and
Sebastian Saavedra (72)
shared third place at
three-under 139.
First-round leader Rob
Grube stumbled to a 74
and dropped into a tie
for sixth place with
Robert Gates (71) at
two-under 140.
Molina managed to post
the best score of the
week so far despite
playing the second round
in swirling winds.
He did most of his
damage on the front
nine, making five
birdies in a row from
the fourth hole. He then
played the back at
one-under, collecting
three birdies and two
bogeys.
Larrazabal had five
birdies -- including
four on the back nine --
and three bogeys for his
69.
The cut line fell at
11-over-par 153 with 64
players moving on to the
weekend and 15 missing
the number.
This is the third event
on the 2009 Canadian
Tour schedule. |
