It was tight at the top of the leaderboard, but Mitch Jefferson, Rochester CC and Jason Malcom, Sky Meadow CC emerged from the pack in the Professional Division of this week’s New Hampshire Chapter of the New England PGA’s Pro Am. Both players fired a 1 over par 71 good enough for a 1 shot victory over the next five players including Chris Houston, Laconia CC, Bailey Nangle, Owl’s Nest Resort, Chris Mowers, Nippo Lake, Joe Finemore, Portsmouth CC and Todd Rollins of The Ready Golf Center. The top 10 players all fell within 2 shots of the lead.
