Three Colorado players survived the 36-hole cut and Doug Rohrbaugh of Carbondale, winner of the last three Colorado PGA Professional Championships, moved into the top 25 after Monday’s second round of the national PGA Professional Championship in Verona, N.Y.
Rohrbaugh shot a 3-under-par 69 on Monday and reached the halfway point of the tournament at 1-under 143, leaving him in 23rd place and eight strokes behind leader — and former PGA Tour player — Omar Uresti, who has posted 68-67.
Rohrbaugh (pictured) made an eagle and five birdies on Monday, offset by four bogeys.
Other Coloradans making the 36-hole cut to 90 and ties were Caine Fitzgerald of Parker (73-71–144, 36th place) and Ari Papadopoulos of Eagle Vail (71-75–146, 61st place.)
There will be another cut after three rounds, to the low 70 players and ties.
The top 20 finishers on Wednesday out of the original field of 312 will earn spots in next month’s PGA Championship at Baltusrol.
