Globe/Gary Crow Rhein Gibson, Edmond, Okla. tees of on the first hole in Saturday’s Buffalo Run Casino Classic.

Flores jumps to one-shot lead over four players

Tied with Lamielle are Cody Freeman, Edmond; Rick Cochran, Paducah, Ky.; and Joe Affrunti, Crystal Lake, Ill.

The leading money winner on the tour, Ted Potter from Silver Springs, Fla., made one of the biggest jumps on the leaderboard, going from a tie for 15th to sixth place with a 203 mark. He tied with Cochran and Affrunti for the low score of 65 for the day.

Adam Meyer, Fort Worth, Texas, and Brian Carroll, another Crystal Lake golfer, ended seventh and eighth, respectively.

Affrunti had one of the most remarkable rounds of the day. The Illinois player had nine birdies and no bogeys going into the final hole.

“I had a perfect round going,” he said. “Then, I hit a ball that was unplayable on 18 and I ended up taking a 6 (a double bogey).”

Freeman, a northeast Oklahoma man who moved to Edmond last year, shot his second straight 66 on Saturday (after opening with a 70) and went from a fourth-place to a second-place tie.

“I had seven birdies and one bogey, and I’ll take another one of those 66s on Sunday and we’ll see how it goes,” said Freeman, father of two young boys who gave credit to his own dad for teaching him how to play the game.

He added that it would be nice if his dad could be there for today’s final round on Father’s Day.

“My dad and I played a ton of golf when I was growing up,” he said. “He is a good golfer and he has always been the person who has been there to help me with my swing all along the way. We have a great relationship.”
