MIDDLETOWN, N.J. (May 6, 2013) - Midway through the first-round at the 86th Senior Amateur and 2011 NJSGA Senior Open champion Jon Tingley of Stanton Ridge has the lead after an impressive 2-under 70. Despite chilly and windy conditions, Tingley, who teed off at 8:27 a.m., managed to record four birdies and only two bogeys.

2009 winner Al Small of Fairmount is currently alone in second after an even-par 72. Tom Yellin of Stanwich is third after firing a 1-over 73.

Big names remain in the mix as past Senior Am champion Jay Blumenfeld of Mountain Ridge and former Met Am winner Ken Bakst of Friar's Head are only four back after 74s.
