Dramatic Turn of Events Unfolds at Trubank Des Moines Challenge

The second round of the 2024 Disc Golf Pro Tour's Trubank Des Moines Challenge Presented by DGA has brought about a significant shake-up in the standings at Pickard Park in Iowa. A thrilling morning session in the FPO division saw Ohn Scoggins take the lead with an impressive course-record 10-under par, becoming the only player to achieve a clean scorecard of the day.

Scoggins' standout performance included eight consecutive successful throws from C1X, followed by three putts from Circle 2. This dominant display has given her a three-stroke advantage heading into Championship Sunday.

Natalie Ryan has moved up into second place with a 9-under round, narrowly edging out Holyn Handley by just one stroke. Handley, who initially seemed poised to take the lead after achieving an incredible 10-under through 13 holes, suffered a setback with her first bogey of the day. However, she bounced back with crucial birdies on holes 15 and 16 but ultimately fell short due to a triple bogey on hole 17. A final birdie on the 18th allowed her to salvage an impressive 9-under finish with only three pars on her scorecard.

Eliezra Midtlyng will join Handley at the top of the standings, tied for third and four strokes behind Scoggins.

In the MPO division, Adam Hammes made a significant leap forward, more than doubling his first-round score to reach an astonishing 14-under. This remarkable performance propelled him from seventh place to take the solo lead, thanks in part to a scorching hot start with six birdies in the first seven holes and a string of six consecutive birdies on the back nine.

Anthony Barela and Round 1 leader Matthew Orum both maintained their impressive form, each recording double-digit scores. They now find themselves tied for second place, two strokes behind Hammes.

The final spot in the lead card was filled by Evan Smith, who jumped an impressive 18 spots into a tie for fourth with Kevin Keifer III after carding an 11-under day.

Championship Sunday is set to unfold on the Disc Golf Network, with these new leaders and contenders vying for top honors.
