Cyr ups lead to 2 at Gateway Tour Championship

Sam Cyr, a King Kekaulike graduate and two-time NAIA champion for Point Loma Nazarene University, followed his best round as a pro with a 2-under-par 69 today at The Rim Club in Payson, Ariz., to push his lead to two strokes at the midway point of the Gateway Tour Championship.

Cyr is at 8-under 134 and has a two-stroke lead over three golfers with 36 holes to play. He had four birdies and two bogeys today after six bids and no bogeys in his opening-round 65.

Cyr will be at the first stage of PGA Tour Qualifying School later this month.
