Tom Gillis is atop the leaderboard of the Honda Classic. It’s a new experience for the 43-year-old. He calls himself a late bloomer. Gillis was born in Pontiac, Michigan, and graduated from Lake Orion High School in Lake Orion, Michigan. He turned professional in 1990 after playing collegiate golf at Oakland Community College.
Tom Gillis shot 6-under 64 on Friday to take the mid-round lead by two shots. The Florida resident and Michigan native has made just one cut in five 2012 PGA Tour starts. Gillis played relaxed the last two days and hopes to do the same on the coming weekend.
”I’ve been doing it almost 22 years now, played all over the world, 26 countries, played the European Tour, Asia, South Africa,” he said before adding”.
