Dylan Lhotak prepares for his tee shot during Round 2 of the USADGC.
After 36 holes up, down, and across the massive slopes of Kensington Toboggan DGC, two names now sit at the top of the leaderboard; Dylan Lhotak #41076 and Brandon Oleskie #84911. Both players are heading into the final round tomorrow afternoon having carded just one bogey each and will need to continue that level of near-flawless play to take down the title of 2017 USADGC Champion.
