Leading the leaderboard is Michael Ferrer of Covington, who carded a second round score of 69, putting him at seven shots under par and four shots ahead of the rest of the field. Ferrer had a phenomenal front nine at CCLA, going bogey-free and carding four birdies. He also had an eagle on hole 11, followed by some up-and-down holes, finishing with a 37 on the back nine.
