Maxwell Moldovan extends his lead at AJGA at Forest Lake and Mikaela Schultz of Bloomfield Hills is tied

     After more than twenty boys shot par or better at Forest Lake Country club paced by Maxwell Moldovan of Uniontown, Ohio who had a nine under 62 on day one. It looked like a near perfect day on day two would add to the golfers shot totals. Well, Moldovan proved he is a force to be reckoned with as he added a six birdie round netting him a 67. This two-time AJGA champion sits at 13-under par 129 after day two of the 54 hold tournament.  it looked like more low scores would be posted by players at Forest Lake Country Club located in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. This course is not easy. Rolling hills and forced carry shots dot the course and a penal amount of trees ruin golfers aspirations with obstructed shots for players who do not drive it straight. So why the low scores? A 6,200 yard course meets select players that drive it more than 300 yards in the air and training regimens that are tailored to players that make Gumby look like a concrete statue. Defending champion Cade Breitenstine of  Akron, Ohio sits just two strokes back after totaling 65-66 and sits just two strokes behind Moldovan. Breitenstine aced  the par three 10th on day one and his irons are deadly accurate. With only five players within eight strokes of Moldovan, it looks like it comes down to just five players. (complete standings below). 
The top Michigan born player  Patrick Sullivan of Grosse Pointe, Michigan sits at 2-under 140 after 36 holes and has signed a letter of intent to University of Michigan.

     For the girls, Forest Lake is not the scoring haven it has turned out to be for the boys. For Mikaela Schultz, day two was moving day as she carded a two-under 69. This future Michigan Wolverine put together a bogey-free front nine and three birdies sparked her to a two way tie for second with first round leader Aleandra Swayne of Mainesville, Ohio (Clemson University commit) who also sits at even par after 36 holes (70-72). Swayne is a previous winner on the AJGA circuit winning at Penn State and her nine top-ten finishes on the AJGA circuit will be a tough two way battle with Schultz for the finish of this 54 hole tournament.  Three other girls are within seven strokes of the leaders and Taylor Kehoe of Strathroy, Ontario slipped to a 74 and sits two shots off the lead. Miss Michigan golfer Anika Dy is lurking five shots behind (73-74) and Celine Niu of Newport Beach, California is seven shots back (76-73) going into the final day.

A pair of Ohio Players lead the boys and girls at the AJGA All-Stars at Forest Lake Country Club in Bloomfield

     In a case of 'how low can you go? Maxwell Moldovan fired 9 birdies and a nine-under-par 62 at the AJGA All-Star classic at Forest Lake Country Club in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. Moldovan is no stranger to shooting great scores. Moldovan has already won twice in AJGA tournaments and has racked up seven top-ten AJGA performances in his junior career. Forest Lake Country Club is no easy track and for Moldovan, he holds the course record and he is only a  high school sophmore. 

Plenty of golfers played to par or under in round one.  Twenty- two juniors are at or under par after 18 holes on the boys side including Cade Breitenstine of Akron, Ohio. As the 2017 defending champion, put together a round of 6-under par 65 and is three shots behind Moldovan. Michigander Patrick Sullivan of Grosse Pointe Farms whose 4-under 67 would look great at many AJGA tournaments and has him lurking with 36 holes to play at five back. 

While the boys were off to a blistering start, the girls found two players sharing the lead at one under par 70. Alexandra Swayne of Maineville, Ohio put together a round of six birdies and this Clemson University Intent, won the 2017 Junior at Penn State. Her nine top-ten AJGA finishes serves notice that her time at Forest Lake will give her another potential notch on her belt. Still, she is tied with Taylor Kehoe of Strathroy, Ontario who played a bogey free round at Forest Lake. Her nine top-ten AJGA tournament finishes will give this 14-year-old player a strong shot at Swayne. 

For the girls, seven players are within five shots of the lead including top Michigan players Mikaela Schulz of West Bloomfield (Michigan commit) who fired a two-over-par 73 and attends Bloomfield High School which is just a few miles from the tournament site. Anika Dye of Traverse City is a Michigan Miss Golf and is tied for third with Schulz. The 54 hold tournament concludes on Thursday. 

Pictures and Interviews start on Wednesday.
