09/03/2010 - Canonsburg, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Geoffrey Sisk was atop the leaderboard Friday when the second round of the inaugural Mylan Classic was suspended due to darkness.
Sisk, one of two first-round leaders, was minus-four for his round and 10- under par for the tournament when play was called for the day.
There was a 80-minute weather delay that halted action. The second round was suspended for the night by darkness at 7:50 p.m. (et) and will resume Saturday at 7:45 a.m.
Dave Schultz was six-under through 17 holes to climb into second place at minus-eight.
PGA Tour player Rocco Mediate, a native of nearby Greensburg, Pa., is one of five players that shares the clubhouse lead at six-under-par 136.
Mediate, who is making his first career start in a Nationwide Tour event, shot two-under 69 and was joined in third place by Jason Gore (67), Chris Nallen (67), Kevin Kisner (68) and Mark Anderson (68).
Steve Wheatcroft, who grew up 10 minutes from Southpointe Golf Club, is also minus-six and has one hole left in his second round.
Sisk started his round with a pair of pars before chipping in for his first birdie on the par-three third. After the weather delay, he got to eight-under with a birdie on the sixth.
The 45-year-old Sisk birdied the par-five eighth to move to minus-nine. He parred three straight around the turn.
Sisk dropped in a birdie effort on the par-three 12th. He parred the next three holes before play was halted for the night.
"I was a little nervous starting off because I just haven't been in this position in a while," said Sisk. "I hit some good shots the first three holes. The wind was very tricky to start the day, but I managed to calm down."
Canadian David Hearn is one of seven players tied for ninth at minus-five.
Scott Dunlap, who shared the first-round lead with Sisk, stumbled to a two- over 73 to slide into a share of 18th at minus-four.
NOTES: Tommy Gainey, who could earn an automatic promotion to the PGA Tour with a win, shot 73 to fall into a share of 27th...Arnold Palmer's grandson, Sam Saunders, is playing on a sponsor's exemption. Saunders was five-over after 13 holes to slide to plus-four overall, which left him tied for 104th...Twenty-seven players need to complete their second rounds on Saturday.

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
