Dornes holds one-shot lead heading into final round of Pennsylvania Open



   J.D. Dornes, a former Penn State standout who is giving the pro game a shot on the PGA Tour Latinoamerica, couldn’t quite match the course-record 62 he fired in the opening round, but the 3-under-par 68 he shot in rainy conditions at Gulph Mills Golf Club Tuesday still put him alone atop the leaderboard after two rounds of the Pennsylvania Golf Association’s 101st Open Championship, presented by LECOM.
   The 12-under 130 total for Dornes, a Manheim Township product, gives him a one-shot lead over former Lower Merion standout Greg Jarmas and a two-shot edge over defending Pennsylvania Open champion Robert Rohanna.
   Jarmas, who is playing on mini-tours in Florida and South Carolina, had one of the three rounds of 7-under 64 posted Tuesday on the venerable Donald Ross design in Upper Merion, which, combined with his opening-round 67, left him at 11-under 131.
   Rohanna, like Dornes a former Penn State standout, was one of five players tied for second behind Dornes’ blistering opening-round pace at 6-under 65 and added a 4-under 67 for a 10-under 132 total.    
   Rohanna was a junior at Waynesburg when I watched him fall in a playoff to Radnor’s Adam Cohan in the 2002 PIAA Championship, the first time the event was staged at the Heritage Hills Golf Resort. He is seeking his third Pennsylvania Open title. He also won it in 2010 at Applebrook Golf Club.
   Turns out my post on the first round wasn’t entirely accurate, although you come to expect a little fake news in the blogosphere now and again, right?
   Dornes started his round on the 10th tee, so he didn’t have seven straight birdies and he didn’t birdie nine of his last 12 holes. He only birdied his first four holes and he only birdied his last three. He still had 10 birdies against just one bogey and he dropped a lot of putts on the tricky, undulating putting surfaces at Gulph Mills.
   Dornes did start on the first hole Tuesday and, as often happens when you’re trying to back up a spectacular round, he struggled a little early. When he bogeyed the 10th, Dornes was 1-over for the round.
   But he got it going again, making back-to-back birdies at 11 and 12 and finished up with back-to-back  birdies at 17 and 18 to complete a solid 3-under 68.
   “I had a couple of good looks at birdie early that I didn’t convert,” Dornes told the PAGA website. “It was good to see them dropping on the back nine.”
   Jarmas felt right at home at Gulph Mills as he eagled the par-5 seventh and made seven birdies to offset a pair of bogeys.
   “I’ve been looking forward to this week all year,” Jarmas told the PAGA website. “I love playing these courses.”
   Jordan Gibbs, an assistant pro at Gulph Mills and the reigning Philadelphia Section PGA champion, is tied for fourth at 9-under 133, just three shots off the lead after adding a 68 to his opening-round 65.
   Gibbs was joined at 9-under by Lancaster pro David Denlinger, who added a 68 to his opening-round 65, Beau Titsworth of Wexford, who matched Jarmas’ 64 after opening with a 69, and Daniel Obrenski of Irwin, who notched the third 64 of the day after also opening with a 69.
   Titsworth finished his round in style, flying his approach to the uphill par-4 ninth past the hole and spinning it back in the cup for an eagle.
   I managed to leave Denlinger out of the group tied for second in my post on the first round. I went back and amended it to include him. It will take a little more time to fix the part about Dornes making seven birdies in a row, but I’ll get around to it eventually.
   The only amateur in the top 10 is Georgetown senior Cole Berman, the 2015 BMW Philadelphia Amateur champion who plays out of Philadelphia Cricket Club. Berman added a 69 to his opening-round 65 and is alone in eighth at 8-under 134.
   David Hilgers (66-70) of Hershey, Easton Renwick (71-65) of Dubois and Daniel Konieczny (67-69) of Monroeville are tied for ninth at 6-under 136.
