Drama Unfolds in Portland as Leaders Battle for Top Spot

The excitement is building at the Glendoveer course in Portland as the 2022 Disc Golf Pro Tour event enters its final day. Valerie Mandujano has been making waves with her impressive play, but a bogey on hole one could have derailed her chances of taking home the top prize. Instead, she responded with nine birdies over the next 15 holes, blowing out to an eight-stroke lead.

Mandujano's closest competitor, Rebecca Cox, has been making steady progress and is now just five strokes behind after overcoming a disastrous opening hole. The rest of the field will be keeping their fingers crossed for a dramatic turnaround on Sunday.

Meanwhile, Simon Lizotte is extending his lead in the MPO division, but he knows that anything can happen when it comes to final rounds. His third round was impressive, with an 8-under-par effort that left him just one stroke ahead of Garrett Gurthie. However, Lizotte's back-to-back bogeys on the final holes of his round served as a reminder that there is still plenty to play for.

Isaac Robinson and Paul McBeth are also vying for top spot in the MPO division, with both players remaining on the lead card after three rounds. Robinson has been making steady progress all week, while McBeth's bogey-free effort was marred only by a few missed birdie opportunities inside the circle.

The drama is set to unfold as the final round gets underway, with The Disc Golf Network FPO livestream beginning at 9:00 a.m. PT and MPO coverage starting at 3:00 p.m. PT. Don't miss out on the excitement – tune in for all the action!
