An all-time low turnout of six players battled in the Penultimate Round of Ashland XXXV. Ben Caiello (2040) outlasted a hard fighting Paul Potylicki (1534) to continue leading the Open Section heading into the final round next week.
In the Amateur Section, Mike Mayfield (1496) settled peacefully with David Stoner (UNR) as Richard Watts (1200) and Jared Whiting (1036) split the point.
