Drama Unfolds at the Tim Selinske US Masters Championships
Date Published
As the sun rose over Cedarock Park on day two of the 2013 Tim Selinske United States Masters Championships, the atmosphere was electric. But little did the players know that the challenges they faced would go beyond just the course itself. A torrential downpour swept through the area in the early afternoon, turning the beautiful fairways into treacherous obstacles. The rain may have cooled off the players, but it also added an extra layer of complexity to their game.
For the pros, the Cedarock course was a true test of skill and strategy. Patrick Brown, from San Francisco, had started the day in top spot, but Brian Schweberger from North Carolina was hot on his heels. With a stunning 44, or 14 under par, Schweberger tied the course record and propelled himself into contention. Jay "Yeti" Reading and defending champion Barry Schultz were also in the mix.
Just as it seemed like the pros had adjusted to the conditions, the rain arrived during the lunch break, leaving the players with a completely new challenge. The soaked fairways and slippery tee pads demanded a different level of concentration, but some players rose to the occasion more than others.
Jay Reading was one such player who excelled in the wet conditions. With a blistering 16 under par, he bested the course record by two strokes and catapulted himself into first place. Brian Schweberger, however, refused to give up and eagled the 600-foot 17th hole to knot it up with Reading at the top.
The women's division also saw some exciting action, as Elaine King and Des Reading fought for dominance. After a thrilling second round, Des emerged on top, but Elaine was hot on her heels, just three shots back. Local star Michelle Horn, last year's Amateur Women's Masters World Champion, rounded out the lead group.
In the Grandmasters division, Johnny Sias and Dean Tannock were locked in a battle for supremacy. Tannock took the lead after round two with an impressive -10, but Sias refused to back down. The final round promises to be a thrilling showdown between these two veterans.
The Senior Grandmasters division was led by Alan Beaver, who has once again proven himself as the man to beat over 60. With a commanding 20 under par, he left his nearest competitors in his wake. The Amateur divisions also saw some intense competition, with Jerry Dobbins and Todd Hardesty locked in a tight battle for top spot in the Advanced Masters division.
As the tournament reaches its climax, one thing is certain: tomorrow's final round will be an unforgettable experience. Stay tuned to pdgalive.com for live updates and scoring as the players give it their all in pursuit of victory.
