Reid Davis and Winston Powell have beaten a lot of golfers over the last few years as teammates at Lamar School. Saturday, they served notice they wouldn't mind adding a few more victims to their collection.
Reid and Powell shot a 10-under par 61 to lead the Ed Lewis Memorial Day Tournament at Northwood Country Club by two strokes over two-time defending champions Scott Morgan and Judge Little.
Sixty-eight teams are competing in this year's event.
Saturday's round was played under a four-ball format.

They birdied Nos. 1, 3, 4, and 7 on the front nine and put together consecutive birdies on Nos. 11, 12, 13, and 14 on the back nine. They added an eagle on the par-5, 489-yard, 16th hole.
Morgan and Little had birdies on Nos. 1, 4, 13, 16, 17, and 18 to go with an eagle on the par-5, 581-yard 14th hole.
