Date Published
The penultimate day of competition at the 2025 PDGA Champions Cup by OTB & MVP Disc Sports has brought about a fresh set of leaders vying for a coveted spot in PDGA Major history. Swenson Park in Stockton, California hosted a thrilling second round that witnessed Sullivan Tipton and Missy Gannon emerge as the top contenders.
Gannon's incredible performance on Saturday catapulted her to the forefront of the competition, with an impressive 10-under score that has established a three-stroke lead heading into the final round. Meanwhile, Tipton demonstrated his prowess by moving past a stacked championship-laden lead card and now finds himself in first place by a solitary stroke.
The remaining contenders on Sunday's lead card include Isaac Robinson, who managed to hold onto his spot despite a significant reshuffling of the leaderboard. Andrew Marwede rounds out this group, with both players eyeing a potential historic win – one that would mark the third consecutive Major victory for a first-time winner in PDGA history.
Meanwhile, Anthony Barela, Paul McBeth, and Ricky Wysocki have dropped to the chase card, three strokes off the lead. They will be vying for a spot in history as the first players to claim victory from the chase card in a PDGA Major championship. Eagle McMahon completes the chase card, six strokes behind the leaders.
On the women's side, Kristin Lätt has taken second place with a 21-under score, trailing Gannon by three strokes. Paige Pierce and Silva Saarinen occupy third and fourth spots respectively, with Pierce four strokes off the lead and Saarinen seven shots behind Gannon.
The story of the day, however, revolves around Gannon's incredible recovery in the final stretch of Saturday's round. Trailing Lätt and Pierce after 13 holes, Gannon seized control by carding five birdies out of the last six holes to secure a one-hole lead with 18 holes remaining. This electrifying performance sets the stage for an intense showdown on Championship Sunday as competitors vie for their place in PDGA Major history.
