LOVING AND DRESSER LEAD THE FIELD HEADING INTO ROUND THREE OF THE
39TH CHESAPEAKE ENERGY TEXAS STATE OPEN
DALLAS, Texas – San Antonio’s Matt Loving and Carrollton’s Andrew Dresser will lead the field heading into round three of the 39th Chesapeake Energy Texas State Open at 8-under par, 132. Loving, the 2007 Texas State Open Champion, struggled on the greens but managed to card three straight birdies to close at 4-under par, 66 for round 2. “I like this course, it fits me well,” said Loving, who had his wife caddie for him again this year. Loving has had a good year so far with five top ten finishes on the Adams Golf Tour as well as making the cut at the Valero Texas Open. Dresser, who maintained the lead throughout the day, held on to the momentum and carded five birdies to finish tied for first. Dresser is competing in his third Texas State Open and has had finishes of solo third in 2007 and a tie for fifteenth in 2008.
