Kyle Bilodeau, an assistant pro at Race Brook Country Club, was one of just two players to shoot an even-par 72 at Ellington Ridge CC. That round gave him a two-shot lead heading into the final round of the 81st Connecticut PGA Championship.

Bilodeau is at 2-under 142 through two rounds, followed by Tony Kelley (Wyckoff CC) at 144. Ed Slattery (Candlewood Valley CC) and Jordan Gosler (Manchester CC) are both tied for third at 2-over 146, four shots behind Bilodeau. Mike Gramelis of Golf Galaxy in Milford led after the first round, but skied to a 79 on Tuesday, putting him in a tie for seventh place at 148.   1 Kyle Bilodeau Race Brook CC 70-72--142 -2
