Seven players were at 67, two strokes off the lead. Albus, 52, a former club pro from Long Island, has played every round of each official tournament this year, a feat unmatched by any other player. This is his 35th event. "It's new and adventurous," he said. "It hasn't bothered me at all." Albus birdied all three par-5 holes during a bogey-free round and closed with six straight pars. He had six birdies. "It was a fairly easy 65," he said. "I didn't miss any easy ones and I didn't have any three-putts. My longest putt was only eight or nine feet." Albus's only victory was last year in the Senior Players Championship. His best showing this season is a tie for second in the Northville Classic, played near the Piping Rock Club on Long Island where he was the head pro for 14 years. Albus resigned to play the tour full time in 1992. He never played the PGA Tour on a regular basis and made 20 senior starts in 1991. This article is copyright 1992 The Washington Times.
