“The golf course is in really great shape, especially after having a hurricane come through two days ago,” Noto said. “Tomorrow, I’ll try to keep the ball in front of me on fairways and greens. Hopefully a few more putts will go in.”

Richard Jeffers of Mobile, Alabama leads round one of the 2nd Alabama State Super-Senior Amateur Championship. He posted a three-under 69 for the day.

“It’s my first Super-Senior, so I didn’t know what to expect,” Jeffers said. “I’m very lucky to shoot what I shot, and hopefully I can tighten it up tomorrow. Buddy Alexander’s so good, he’s world class. Hopefully I can hang in there with him!

Standing second, Stewart “Buddy” Alexander of Auburn, Alabama carded two-under 70.

“Tomorrow I hope to hit it more solid and give myself more opportunities for birdie,” Alexander said.
