Chitimacha Louisiana Open presented by NACHER Mar 26-29

Le Triomphe CC, Broussard, LA • Purse: $550,000

 

Rhein Gibson had a chance to run away from the field Friday at the Chitimacha Louisiana Open, but an unlikely hole cost him dearly near the end of his second round.

But the Web.com Tour rookie shook off a double-bogey on Le Triomphe’s fifth hole — the second-easiest hole on the course through two rounds — and maintained his two-stroke advantage for the second straight day. The Australia native and current Oklahoma resident posted a 3-under-par 68 on Friday and stands at 12-under 130 going into the weekend.
