Lafayette Hill, PA- Kevin Kraft representing Bumble Bee Hollow Golf Club led the field with a (-2) 70 at the PAO (Players Assistants’ Organization) Ace Club Classic on Tuesday, July 5^th.

Kraft had a slow start as he went two over par thru the first six holes, then turning it around at the seventh with three straight birdies to finish the front 9 with a (-1) 35. “If it wasn’t for my putting, my round would have been a lot more difficult today” says Kraft who finished strong on the back nine as well with a matching (-1) 35.

Mike Meisenzahl (Shore Gate CC) finished just behind Kraft with a (-1) 71 to claim solo second place. Andrew Turner (Whitford CC), Andrew Geesey (Royal Manchester GL), and Greg Matthias (Tavistock CC) rounded out the top finishers in a tie for third place at even par 70.
