Blazing Scores and Close Competitions Dominate Day Two of the Idlewild Open

The idle weekend has come to an end, and the action-packed second day of the 2019 Idlewild Open has left spectators and players alike on the edge of their seats. The perfect scoring conditions that dominated the first round were once again a major factor in the MPO division, resulting in an impressive array of low scores.

Kevin Jones continued his strong play from the previous day, pushing his way into contention for the top spot with another solid performance. However, he was not alone in making waves on moving day, as a group of early movers emerged to shake up the leaderboard. Alex Russell and Armando Ensenat were among those who carded impressive 6-under scores, while Logan Bowers finished the day at a respectable 5-down.

The story was different in the FPO division, where Paige Pierce struggled to find her footing despite a strong start. After sitting at 1-under through 13 holes and closing the three-stroke deficit to Catrina Allen, Pierce expressed her frustration with her tee shots. Despite hitting an impressive 80% of fairway hits – crucial for success on the challenging Idlewild course – she acknowledged that her game needed fine-tuning.

Meanwhile, Pierce's peers were experiencing similar difficulties in adapting to the demanding conditions. "I'm still having trouble off the tee," she said candidly. However, she was also quick to highlight her strengths, particularly her putts and a 100% success rate on C1X hits, including a crucial circle 2 putt for birdie on hole 9.

As the tournament enters its final stages, it's clear that this year's Idlewild Open has something for everyone – blistering scores in the MPO division and intense competition on the FPO side. With perfect conditions continuing to play their part, spectators can expect another thrilling day of action at the Idlewild Open.
