John Mikiewicz and Tom Biscotti teamed for a 4-under-par, 67 Friday at Fox Hill Country Club to lead qualifying for the championship flight in the 80th annual John Allan Memorial Member-Guest.
A total of 24 teams entered Friday seeking the 16 spots in the four rounds of match play Saturday and Sunday to determine a champion.
Mikiewicz-Biscotti played the back side in 3-under, 33, and was 5-under for the last 15 holes after consecutive bogeys on 2 and 3.
All teams that shot 74 or better in the better-ball-of-partners event advanced. Eight teams broke par, and three others matched it.
