Jackson holds two-stroke edge at provincials
The way he played the first eight holes on Thursday, Don Jackson wasn’t betting on remaining on top of the leaderboard by the end of the day.
The way he played the last 10, it’s no surprise that’s where he wound up.
Overcoming a miserable start which saw him shoot 5-over through eight, the Portage la Prairie resident put his game together the rest of the way to fire a 73 and stretch his lead to two shots at the provincial men’s senior golf championship at the Carman Golf Club.
Combined with his 71 in Round 1, Jackson was at 2-over 144 entering Friday’s final round of the 54-hole event as he tries to retain his crown from 2007. He will tee off in the final group of the day at 10:30 a.m.
