SIGNAL MOUNTAIN, Tenn. (May 16, 2015) --
Chattanooga
resident Taylor Lewis has played Signal
Mountain
Golf
and Country Club too many times to count.
Recent Georgia Tech graduate Drew Czuchry
has
played the mountain course three times. Two
rounds
counted.
The veteran Chattanooga golfer and the
newcomer
from Auburn, Ga., are tied for the lead at 8-
under-
par
134 heading into the final round of the 2015
Signal
Mountain Invitational.
"In my practice round on Thursday I enjoyed
the
front
nine, and then the holes started going up and
down,"
Czuchry said during a break from putting
practice
after
he shot a 5-under 66 Saturday on the par-71
layout.
"It's a fun little track," he said. "There are
some
funky
little spots where you have to know where to
hit it.
You
can make a lot of birdies up here, but you
can make
bogeys, too, if you hit it in the wrong spots."
Lewis shot a bogey-free 67. He and Czuchry
lead
University of Tennessee at Chattanooga rising
junior
Brooks Thomas by one stroke with one round
to
play.
