PITTSBURGH, PA — Don Crile regained the perfect advantage this past weekend when he benefited from a round that included 3 birdies.  Crile takes a two-point lead in the 2003 On Tour Championship after carding an impressive 79 strokes at Indian Run.

"I don't plan to watch the leaderboard that much this season, but I figured I would be miles ahead of everyone by the end of the round," said Crile.  "I just wanted to try to dig in today and stay close enough to have a chance tomorrow.  I scrambled well this weekend and putts fell."

There is 49 Days left before the 2003 Carl Spackler Open in Madison, Ohio.  Currently, 32 players have signed for the major championship.  Round 1 is scheduled to begin on June 12.  Several players have announced their availability to the practice round including Don Crile, Jeff Cowan, Tom Fowble and Rick Dosky.
