Leading The Pack: Smith, Jr. Stays On Top With Another Stellar Round

Dick Smith, Jr. has been playing at the courses at Vista Vallarta for the last five years, but none have been quite as sweet as this year, at least so far.

After two days of the second annual adidas Golf - MAXFLI International, Smith has set himself up to win after two spectacular rounds. He shot a 6-under par 66 on the Nicklaus course Wednesday and was the first round leader, and followed that up with a 5-under par 67 on Weiskopf Thursday, to bring his total to 11-under par.

"I've always played well here," Smith said after Thursday's round. "I think I just feel comfortable. And the last two days, I've just been playing some good golf."

Smith started his round Thursday morning with a birdie, hit 18 greens for the second straight day, and has still not hit a bogey at Vista Vallarta all this week.

"I don't know if there's one thing I can pinpoint as my strength so far," he said. "But I've never putted well here, so I've been trying to hit the ball solid and they've just been falling."

The club professional at Woodcrest Country Club in Cherry Hill, NJ (just outside Philadelphia), Smith says that his teammates from back home (Rich Morgenstern, Scott Parris, and Chuck Buckman) have helped him out in keeping it light and just having fun on the course.

"We're going to have a good time no matter what," he said. "So that's made it a bit easier on me. I'm just hoping to keep it up."
