Isleworth leads the Tavistock Cup by two strokes
Team Isleworth is leading the first round scores of the 2012 Tavistock Cup, at the Lake Nona Golf & Country Club, Orlando.
All the six players of the team displayed a tremendous performance and scored 26-under par in total.
Isleworth gained a two-stroke lead against the defending champion Lake Nona and a three-stroke over Team Albany.
Lake Nona is on the second position by scoring a 24-under. Team Albany is currently on the third place, scoring a 23-under par.
Meanwhile, Queenwood scored 17-under and finished on the last.
All the six players of Isleworth scored enormously. Sean O'Hair and Bo Van Pelt of team Isleworth played brilliantly and scored well to stand on the top.
They were the best on the course and recorded 13-under 59. Moreover, Bubba Watson and Charles Howell III were also impressive and amazed the spectators by scoring 9-under par.
The last two players, Daniel Chopra and Robert Allenby, faced difficulty to score well and recorded only 4-under.
A 26-under par is hard to achieve and no other team was able to reach near the leading scores of Isleworth.
The Tavistock Cup is played every year and has a handsome purse of $2,170,000, out of which, the winning team will earn $800,000.
It was established in 2004 and Lake Nona is the defending champion this year. Lake Nona won four times in the past, whereas Isleworth is a three-time winner of the tournament.
The current episode of the tournament has achieved high viewership and fan following. A huge crowd was there on Monday, at the Lake Nona Golf & Country Club, and supported their favourite teams.
Gary Woodland of team Lake Nona attracted the spectator's attention by winning the longest drive challenge award on the 11th hole. He covered 309 yards amazingly and cheered all the field players.
The competition is tough and Isleworth players are doing their best. It is expected that Isleworth will finish on the top.
The only need of the hour is that the six players have to continue their leading performances.
The final and the last round of the tournament is scheduled on Tuesday, March 20, 2012.
All the players are hopeful to deliver extra efforts on the Floridian course so that their scores can help their teams reach the leading position.
