HANOVER – The top of the Championship Flight of the Tommy Keane Invitational at Hanover Country Club has a familiar look heading into Saturday’s start of match play.
Claiming medalist honors Friday was the father-son team of Doug and Peter Williamson. The pair registered six of their nine birdies on the back nine on their way to a sparkling 62. The duo won the 2008 TKI.
In a three-way tie for second at 65 were: 2009 champion Shane MacDonald, teaming up this year with son Nick; Jake Obar and Billy Vielleux, who lost to MacDonald’s team in last year’s championship match; and the father-son team of Jim and Andrew Jankowski.
Two shots back are Mike and Scott Peters, the six-time champions who carded a 67.
Match play in all four flights begins Saturday morning with the winners looking to advance in afternoon play. The competition continues through Sunday afternoon.
Closest to the pin winners on the first day were Mike Noonan on No. 4 (2 feet, 3 inches), Matt Keane on No. 5 (2-foot-9), John Scanlon on No. 12 (3-foot4) and Andrew Jankowski on No. 14 (1-foot-9).
The Tommy Keane Invitational, which has been conducted annually since 1975 with the exception of 2001 – when the course was closed for renovation – honors the memory of Tommy Keane, the Hanover pro and Dartmouth golf coach from 1922-66.
