Piller remains hot, leads BMW Charity Pro-Am by one

Golf Betting Lines

05/14/2010 - Greer, SC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Martin Piller carded a five-under 67 Friday to take a one-stroke lead after two rounds of the BMW Charity Pro-Am.

Piller, who shared the first-round lead with Ted Potter, Jr., completed 36 holes at 13-under-par 131.

The tournament is contested over three courses for the first three rounds -- the par-71 Thornblade Course and the par-72 courses at Carolina Country Club and Bright's Creek Golf Club. Piller, who played Bright's Creek on Friday, will play Thornblade on Saturday. Thornblade will also host the final round.

Scott Gutschewski fired a nine-under 62 at Thornblade to jump into a share of second place at minus-12. He was joined there by Justin Hicks, who shot a six- under 65 at Thornblade

Tommy Gainey (64 Bright's Creek) headlines a group of six players tied for fourth at minus-11.

Piller, who won the Stadion Athens Classic two weeks ago, played the back nine first on Friday and stumbled to a bogey on the 11th to slip to minus-seven. He fought back with birdies on 13 and 14 before he parred the final four holes of his opening nine.

The 24-year-old Texan moved to 10-under with a birdie on the par-five first at Bright's Creek. He posted the fourth birdie of his round on the fourth.

Piller ran home back-to-back birdie efforts from the seventh to grab the lead at 13-under. He parred the last to secure the second-round lead.

"Whenever I was at Texas A&M, I always hated losing to Bobby," Piller said of the tour's leading money winner, Bobby Gates, who is playing on the PGA Tour this week. "It motivates you to finish high on the money list and to win."

Gutschewski posted three birdies and a bogey over his opening nine holes. On the front nine at Thornblade, he carded five birdies and an eagle to fly up the leaderboard.

"It didn't feel ridiculous," stated Gutschewski, who equaled the nine-hole tournament record with a front-nine 28. "The courses we're playing this week are in great shape and they tend to put the pins in flatter spots since we're playing with amateurs so it is a little easier to make birdies."

Hicks had four birdies on both the front and back nines, but also dropped strokes on the 10th and 17th.

Gainey shares fourth place with Tag Ridings (65 Carolina), Aaron Watkins (67 Bright's Creek), Jamie Lovemark (66 Bright's Creek), Kevin Chappell (68 Carolina) and Danny Wax (64 Thornblade).

NOTES: Potter struggled to a one-over 73 to slide into a share of 23rd at minus-seven...NFL great Jerry Rice, playing his second event as a pro, was disqualified following the second round. Without Rice's knowledge, his caddie used a laser device to measure distance on the first hole of Thursday's opening round. Rice was informed of the infraction while signing his scorecard Friday...The cut will take place after 54 holes with the top 60 and ties advancing, as well as the low 14 amateur teams.
