Gore Leads Midway Through PGA Tour Qualifying Event

Jason Gore of Valencia leads midway through the second stage of the PGA Tour qualifying tournament at Bayonet Black Horse Golf Club in Seaside after a five-under-par 67 Wednesday for a two-round total of six-under 138.

Charlie Wi of Westlake Village is tied for second, one stroke behind Gore.

David Berganio of Pacoima is second in a second-stage tournament at Rio Rico Resort in Rio Rico, Ariz. He is one stroke behind leader Chris Stutts of Scottsdale, Ariz.

Qualifiers advance to the third and final stage, Dec. 3-8 at Grenelefe Resort in Haines City, Fla. The top 35 finishers in the Q-school final will earn PGA Tour cards for the 1998 season.

BOXING

Ringer: Boxer Mia St. John of Woodland Hills will put her 4-0 record on the line in a four-round bout against Dolores Lira of Boise, Idaho, on Nov. 28 at Irvine Marriott.

St. John, who in June signed a promotional contract with Don King Productions, turned pro in February and has knocked out all of her opponents.

St. John is a former kick-boxing champion and swimsuit model. St. John is coming off a first-round knockout of Dawn Wimer in Nashville, Tenn., in August.

Playoff change: The Calabasas-St. Bonaventure playoff football game has been moved from Thursday to Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at Ventura High.

“The Ventura Unified School personnel said they could not get the field ready in time,” said St. Bonaventure Coach Jon Mack.

The Seraphs are the Division X defending champions and beat Calabasas, 34-3, two weeks ago.
