Buhr Storms Ahead at Green Mountain Championship

Gannon Buhr has taken a commanding lead at the midway point of the first DGPT Playoff stop in 2024, after producing an incredible 16-under-par round at Fox Run Meadows. The thrilling performance saw him jump to the top of the leaderboard, with a 1096-rated score that left his competitors struggling to keep up.

Buhr's dominance was evident throughout the day, as he found himself hitting 19 out of 20 fairways and gaining an impressive 7.46 strokes on the green. His accuracy and precision were further highlighted by three successful C2 putts, which helped him establish a three-stroke lead over his nearest rivals.

The Green Mountain Championship at Smugglers' Notch Resort was indeed "a day of fire" on the mountain, as several top players made significant gains in the standings. Evan Smith's impressive 14-under-par round propelled him up 17 places to take sole possession of second place, while Paul McBeth and Joseph Anderson found themselves tied for third after carding 13- and 12-under-par scores respectively.

Further down the leaderboard, a tightly contested battle is emerging for the final spots on the lead card. Corey Ellis, Eagle McMahon, and Alden Harris are all tied at 19-under-par, just five strokes behind Buhr's blistering pace.

Earlier in the day, Kristin Tattar had taken center stage with her impressive play. The talented player birdied ten holes in an 11-hole stretch to extend her lead to four strokes over her nearest rivals. Her exceptional form was highlighted by several notable statistics, including a remarkable 85% hit rate on fairways and a 39% success rate on parked throws.

Tattar's grip on the top spot is still tenuous, however, with Silva Saarinen hot on her heels after posting an impressive 6-under-par round. Henna Blomroos and Ohn Scoggins are also tied for third at 8-under-par, just six strokes behind Tattar and two behind Saarinen.
