Eagle Soars and Birdies Abound at Discraft's Green Mountain Championship
Date Published
The action-packed second day of the Discraft's Green Mountain Championship unfolded at the scenic Brewster Ridge course, with eagle shots soaring high among the players. One such standout moment came courtesy of Matt Bell, who aced a particularly tricky hole 11. The downhill slope and perfectly placed drive set up an eagle putt that he successfully sank.
While an ace might be considered more exciting for some, the real story of yesterday's play lay in the numerous birdies carded by top contenders across both divisions. In the FPO (Females Professional Open) division, three players - Catrina Allen, Jessica Weese, and Paige Pierce - found themselves tied at the top of the leaderboard after a scintillating display of birdie prowess.
However, it was not just about the quantity of birdies; each player's strategic approach to scoring differed. Catrina Allen aimed to take the lead with her consistent birdies, while Jessica Weese focused on securing a spot on the lead card for tomorrow's final round. Meanwhile, Paige Pierce sought to recover from an early triple OB and was still within striking distance.
The MPO (Males Professional Open) division witnessed a thrilling battle between top players vying for the lead. Nate Sexton posted an exceptional bogey-free -11 down round but ultimately fell short of catching up with Ricky Wysocki's remarkable scoring feat. Michael Johansen attempted to bridge the gap by carding a stunning bogey-free -12 on Brewster Ridge.
Zach Melton and Weston Isaacs also caught attention in the MPO division with their impressive bogey-free rounds, each shooting -11 to propel themselves into the top 10 ahead of tomorrow's final round at Fox Run course.
As for bogeys, Paige Pierce incurred nine of them, while Ricky Wysocki took a single bogey on hole 15 after hitting a tree early in his drive. Cale Leiviska and Jeremy Koling also each recorded one bogey apiece.
The low number of bogeys among the top contenders bodes well for an exciting conclusion to the championship tomorrow at Fox Run course, where fans can tune in live starting at 2:30 pm ET to witness the thrilling finish.
