Las Vegas, NV. – Presented by Callaway Golf, Harris Golf Cars and Vinnie Krikac’s State Farm Insurance Agency, Nebraska PGA Professionals and their teams of Amateurs teed off in round two of the 2021 Nebraska PGA Vegas Classic. After a perfect opening day at Rio Secco Golf Club, high winds made playing conditions tough at an already challenging course. TPC Summerlin welcomed our field today for round two giving them a taste of what it’s like to play a PGA Tour course as they host the annual Shriner’s Hospital for Children Open every October.

With the wind consistently gusting over 30 mph, playing conditions were as hard as they come and it showed in round two scores. After scoring 43 points in the stableford format in round one, Shane Zywiec, PGA of Highlands Golf Course put up 30 points in round two and he remains at the top of the leaderboard. Right on his tail is Steve Friesen, PGA of Firethorn Golf Club at 71 total points after a field-best 36 points in today’s round at TPC Summerlin. Also in the hunt for the Professional title is Nick Shanahan, PGA of Shadow Ridge CC and Ted DiGiacomo, PGA of Golf Galaxy Omaha after they both posted solid scores in round two.

Led by Patrick Kilbride, PGA of Hillside Golf Course, Team Kilbride remains at the top of the team leaderboard after they put together 85 points in round two today. Not only is Zywiec in the hunt for the Professional title, but his team remains in the mix and in second place after posting 92 points at TPC Summerlin. Making the biggest leap up the leaderboard today was defending champs Team DiGiacomo after they worked together to shoot a field-best 93 points. Just 12 points separates the top seven teams which will make for an exciting final round tomorrow at Cascata Golf Club.

We would like to thank TPC Summerlin and the entire Professional staff for hosting us for the second round of our 31st Nebraska PGA Vegas Classic. We would also like to thank Callaway Golf, Harris Golf Cars and Vinnie Krikac’s State Farm Insurance Agency for making this event possible once again. Our final round will tee off tomorrow at Cascata Golf Club beginning with a shotgun start at 9:00am.
