place in the net division after two rounds in the Mid Ocean Club's 26th Founder's Trophy Tournament yesterday.

The pair moved from third place on the opening day to a five-stroke lead after adding a 64 yesterday to the 60 on the first day for a 124 total. Tuesday's round was wiped out because of inclement weather.

Second on 129 are Terry West of Bermuda and Neil Lumsden of Canada after their round of 65. First day leaders Alec Anderson and American Russ Hardin, slipped to third on 130 after a 72 to go with their first round total of 58. In the gross division, Blake Marshall and Jeff Eidson lead by five strokes after carding a 67 yesterday to go with their 68 on the first day for a 140 total.

On 145 are Paul Evans and Michael Dunkley.

The inaugural Bermuda Ladies Pro-Am Golf Classic gets underway today at Port Royal. Seven teams consisting of one professional and three amateurs are taking part in the 54-hole four-ball, two better-balls competition. Six of the teams are from the US with Belmont pro Judith Astwood skippering the one team representing the Island.

Although it was orginally hoped up to 30 teams might compete, tournament organiser Frank Rabain said he was not disappointed with the low turnout.

Rabin said: "It's only just starting up and we hope it's going to get better and better over the next few years.'' The three rounds of the main tournament take place today, Saturday and Monday, with a professionals-only chammpionship on Sunday.
