Disc Golf Action Heats Up in Bowling Green as Leaders Emerge on Moving Day
Date Published
The second day of competition at the Amateur Championship at Bowling Green has lived up to expectations, with leaders emerging in both the Advanced and Intermediate divisions. In the Advanced field, North Carolina's David Wiggins took a two-throw lead over Jon Millay from Bowling Green. Meanwhile, Friday's leader Matt Travis is now tied for third, just four throws back.
Trey Williams of Greensboro, North Carolina is making a strong push to join the top contenders, despite being technically tied with Phil Moore for second place according to par. However, as the course at Hobson Grove has a par of 55 compared to the A pool's round at Phil Moore Park with a par of 59, Williams faces a slight disadvantage.
In the Intermediate division, Monroe, Ohio's Tim Bretland now holds a one-throw lead over his closest rival. His advantage would have been even greater had he not posted an impressive 875-rated round at Preston Miller today.
Kevin Peterson from Huntsville, Alabama has made an incredible turnaround in the Advanced division. After starting with a tie for 19th place, he has moved up to a four-throw margin over his competitors heading into tomorrow's final round.
Other leaders across various divisions include Jamie Sternke (Advanced Women), Jimmy Finfrock (Advanced Grandmasters), Bill Ball (Advanced Senior Grandmasters), Lauren Yurt (Intermediate Women), Charles Alford (Recreational), Celeste Shearer (Recreational Women), and Will Wright (Juniors).
Tonight's Fly Mart was a huge success, with attendees enjoying great entertainment from the Ernie Small Blues Band. The band's lead singer, Bowling Green's Ernie Small, even managed to put aside his disappointing 63 at Ephram White today.
Tomorrow will see the final preliminary round at 8:00am Central time, followed by the finals held at Hobson Grove and the adjacent Riverview Golf Course. Stay tuned for updates on PDGA.com as the competition reaches its climax.
