Barry Schultz Shines at Tim Selinske US Masters Championships

The Tim Selinske US Masters Championships have kicked off with a bang at Nevin Park, as some of disc golf's biggest names took to the course for two rounds of competition. While it would be an understatement to say that Barry Schultz is carrying on the legacy of his friend and fellow competitor Tim Selinske, he certainly seems to be making waves in his own right.

Schultz shot out of the gates with a strong first round, but it was his second round that truly stole the show. Finishing bogey-free with an incredible 13-under-par scorecard, Schultz catapulted himself into the lead, narrowly edging out other top competitors like Ken Climo and Kevin McCoy.

But what's even more remarkable is the talent that these men have consistently displayed over the years. A look back at the 2002 PDGA Pro Worlds reveals a startling number of familiar names among this year's top contenders, all competing against each other in the Open division for the world title 13 years ago. And it seems little has changed since then - they're still some of the most talented disc golfers around.

Among those familiar faces is Kevin McCoy, who recently won the Ledgestone Open and is now a member of the PDGA Board of Directors. His recent win was just one reason why he's been on fire this weekend, although his slow start to Round 2 threatened to derail his chances. Fortunately for him, McCoy was able to recover with a series of strong holes down the stretch, finishing tied with Ken Climo for third place.

Meanwhile, George Smith is definitely worth keeping an eye on after a blistering last six holes that saw him card eight under par and snatch back-to-back eagles on Holes 16 and 18. Despite losing his spot on the lead card, Smith's incredible performance has earned him well-deserved recognition.

Over in the Grandmasters division, Dennis Janney is leading by two after a strong showing at Bradford Park, but he'll face stiff competition from Stand McDaniel and Laymon Gray as they vie for second place. And with 12 players within single digits of catching up to the lead card, anything can happen tomorrow.

In other developments, Elaine King is dominating the Masters Women's division by five strokes over Des Reading, while Debbie Scott, Michelle Green, and Lesli Todd are locked in a three-way tie for third place just four back from Reading. Tomorrow promises to be an exciting day of competition as the A-Pool and B-Pool switch courses - with power combined with precision likely to prove decisive at Bradford Park.
