Dickerson Leads USDGC As Big Numbers Highlight Round 2 | Professional Disc Golf Association

The United States Disc Golf Championship has reached its halfway point, and what a thrilling second day it was! Chris Dickerson stole the show with an incredible 14-under par round at Winthrop University in Rock Hill, South Carolina. This remarkable performance catapulted him into the lead by two strokes heading into moving day.

Not to be outdone, Alex Russell delivered a stunning 15-under par round that matched the lowest score ever recorded at Winthrop. The elite golfer played bogey-free, with only three pars on his card, and finished with a birdie on the 17th and a drop-in on the 18th.

When asked about his remarkable round, Russell revealed that he was shooting for a more modest target of seven or eight under par but ended up exceeding his wildest expectations. He attributed his success to staying focused on each shot, particularly on the challenging 17th hole where he had just missed a similar putt earlier in the round.

Meanwhile, Eagle McMahon flew under the radar with an impressive 10-under par round. After a quiet start with three consecutive pars, McMahon unleashed a string of eight straight birdies before his lone bogey on the final hole.

As we head into moving day, Dickerson sits comfortably at the top of the leaderboard at 24-under par, with Russell and McMahon hot on his heels at 17- and 16-under par respectively. The likes of Garrett Gurthie, Nathan Queen, and Ezra Aderhold also made significant moves up the leaderboard.

The action-packed weekend is set to continue tomorrow, with moving day tee-offs scheduled for 2:30 p.m. ET on USDGC.com. Will Dickerson's momentum carry him through to victory, or can his challengers catch up? The United States Disc Golf Championship is shaping up to be a thrilling conclusion.
