The highly anticipated Beaver State Fling has kicked off at Milo McIver State Park in Oregon, with a talented field of players vying for the top spot. The event, which was last held as a Super Tour event last year, has drawn in top disc golfers from around the world, with internet registration filling both the professional and amateur sides of the competition in just eight hours.
The weather conditions and pristine course layout have made the Fling one of the most coveted events on the PDGA National Tour calendar. The first two rounds saw some intense jockeying for position among the top players, with Avery Jenkins emerging as the early leader. Taking a one-throw lead over Ken Climo, Jenkins is part of a close-knit group at the top of the leaderboard, which also includes Nikko Locastro and defending champion Steve Rico.
Meanwhile, Des Reading has taken advantage of her recent success at the Delaveaga Skins Match to build a commanding nine-throw cushion in the women's open division. Utilizing her extensive range of skills, including power, finesse, solid putting, and patience, Reading carded two 970-rated rounds to finish with a score of 3-over par. This impressive performance has left Carrie Berlogar and Liz Lopez in second place by a significant margin, while Valarie Jenkins rounds out the top group in the women's open division.
