ADO’s Harvey Makes PNC Cut

Arroyo del Oso’s Bill Harvey shot a second-round 73 to post a 2-over 144, good enough to get him into a tie for 68th and a good chance to play the final two days of the PGA’s Professional National Championship.

Harvey’s two-day total was the best Sun Country Section PGA showing in the event. Las Campanas’ Bob May Jr. finished at 5 over, and Four Hills Country Club’s Scott gates carded a two-day total of 4 over. Both missed the cut.

Mark Sheftic of Ambler, Pa., was the leader in the clubhouse late Tuesday afternoon with a 7-under 67-68, with three players, including 2008 PNC Champion Scott Hebert, of Traverse City, Mich., still on the course with a chance to take the lead going into Round 3 on Wednesday.

The projected cut was 2 over for the low 70 players, plus ties, in the 312-player field.

Final-round action moves exclusively to Twin Warriors Wednesday morning as some 240 players who gathered here from around the nation head home. Both Twin and Santa Ana served as venues for the event’s first two days.
