Sikes Exploits Old Clubs To Lead Open
R H Sikes and Jim Jamieson posted three under par 68s at Sunset Ridge to lead the Western Open second round, aided by vintage clubs donated by Dutch Harrison and Jim Jamieson’s steady play in gusty 30 mph winds. Defending champ Bruce Crampton trailed five strokes with 73 while leaders included Opperman Irwin Weiskopf at 69 and several players at 70. Sikes credited Harrison for driving help and a 25 year old putter and driver as key to his round.
