David Feldberg Solidifies Lead at USDGC with Blistering Second Round
Date Published
The second round of the 2009 United States Disc Golf Championship was a thrilling display of skill and precision, as players battled it out for the top spot. David Feldberg, one of the favourites to win the title, continued to impress with an outstanding score of 57 (1070-rated) on the Winthrop Gold course. This remarkable performance not only cemented his position at the top of the leaderboard but also extended his lead to a significant four-throw advantage.
Feldberg's second-round heroics were matched by Josh Anthon, who carded an impressive 56 and moved within eight throws of taking the lead. Thursday's final foursome was completed by Brian Schweberger, who threw a respectable 63, Michael Johansen with a score of 62, and Joe Mela with a 64.
The low scores in the second round led to significant changes at the top of the leaderboard. Three new players have now joined Feldberg at the front of the pack, making for an exciting conclusion to the championship. Phil Arthur, the 2009 Masters Division World Champion, continued his strong form with a stunning second-round score of 59 (1058-rated). This exceptional performance catapulted him into sole possession of second place.
Nate Doss, the reigning champion, regained his title-winning form by carding an impressive 58. He finds himself tied for third place with Finland's Jussi Meresmaa, who also had a strong showing in the second round. The competition is heating up as the players prepare for the final round, and fans can expect an thrilling conclusion to the championship.
