Disc Golfers Battle Extreme Weather in Ohio
Date Published
The Brent Hambrick Memorial Open has been a grueling test of skill and endurance for disc golfers, with the first two rounds pushing players to their limits in the sweltering Ohio heat. The Hoover Dam courses have proven to be unforgiving, with gusty winds causing putts to flutter and air-bounces to affect flight.
Despite the challenging conditions, Paul McBeth has emerged as a clear leader in the division, posting the lowest scores for both rounds. He now holds a five-throw lead over defending champion Jeremy Koling, who is still in contention despite struggling with his game.
In the Open Women's division, Val Jenkins has asserted her dominance, finishing the day in first place. Her mother Sharon Jenkins, also competing in the tournament, finished third and will join Val on the lead card for the final round along with local player Lisa Warner, who currently sits in second place.
The Masters division saw Steve Boylan take top honors, shooting an impressive 50 on the Hoover Dam West course. However, competition remains fierce, with Dan Sisk just one throw back from taking over the top spot.
In the Grandmasters division, Mark Roberts leads the pack, with James Collins in hot pursuit just two throws behind. The battle for position is far from over, as Robert Martinek and Michael Frame continue to push for a top finish.
The tournament will resume tomorrow morning with live scoring, pictures, and videos available on pdgalive.com starting at 9:00am EDT. The safari course finals are scheduled for 3:00pm EDT, and fans can follow all the action on social media using #BHMO.
