Suffice it to say that Philip Jarabeck has admired the accomplishments of his uncle, Castrol pro David Dudley, but today he showed there's plenty of talent in the family by taking over the lead Dudley set on day one of the Forrest Wood Cup presented by Walmart and hosted by Capital City/Lake Murray Country.

Dudley, a past Forrest Wood Cup champion, posted the event's heaviest sack with his first-round weight of 17 pounds, 14 ounces. Today, Jarabeck hauled in 17 pounds and raced up the standings from his 19th-place finish on day one.

"I was just super-blessed today," Jarabeck says. "I had a great day today. I culled three or four times. I had multiple keepers that I threw back."
