Morgan leads after 36 holes of PGA of BC Championship; Pidlaski wins fourth Seniors
Doug Morgan of The Redwoods Golf Course shot a four-under-par 68 Tuesday to take the second-round lead of the Titleist-FootJoy PGA of BC Championship at Crown Isle Golf Resort in Courtenay.
Morgan sits at six-under-par 138 for two rounds, one stroke ahead of defending champion Bryn Parry of Seymour Creek Golf Centre and past champion Edd Boudreau of Aubutus Ridge Golf & Country Club. Parry managed an even-par 72 and Boudreau shot a fine 68.
In third place alone is past champion Philip Jonas of McCleery Golf Course, whose five-under 67 tied for low round of the day and left him at one-under-par 143 for the tournament.
Also Tuesday, Greg Pidlaski, Head Professional of Kelowna Golf & Country Club, fired a fine two-under-par 70 to win the PGA of BC Seniors’ Championship by three strokes over defending champion Cec Ferguson of Vernon G&CC, who also shot a 70 in the second and final round of the 36-hole competition.
Pidlaski’s win was worth $1,750 from the total purse of $6,300 and marked his fourth PGA of BC Seniors’ title. Ferguson won $1,000 for his runner-up finish. Roy Abbenbroek of Seymour G&CC had tied for second but was disqualified for signing an incorrect scorecard.
