Maccarino Takes Lead at US Amateur Disc Golf Championship

The second round of the United States Amateur Disc Golf Championship presented by Discraft brought about a dramatic change in fortunes for several competitors. When play began on the Toboggan Championship course, the lead card consisted of George Beno, Keith Tasker, and Jordan Castro, all tied at 7 under par (55) after round one.

However, as the front nine holes were completed, it became clear that new names would soon join the top group. The chase card was stacked with talented players who had finished just a stroke or two behind the leaders. Ryan Conto, Colten Montgomery, Brandon Timper, and Tony Maccarino were among those vying for a spot on the lead card.

And vie they did. In a thrilling display of skill and strategy, Maccarino took center stage with an impressive 8 under par (54) performance, which not only earned him the top spot but also set a new hot round for the weekend. With this incredible feat, he now leads the tournament by two strokes.

Maccarino wasn't alone in his excellence; Andrew Kaluk, a 16-year-old local phenom, matched Maccarino's score with an equally impressive 54. This outstanding effort propelled Kaluk from 16th place to the lead card, alongside Montgomery and Beno, who is the sole player remaining on the original lead card.

Beno played consistently well throughout the day, showcasing his skills with a remarkable uphill jump putt on hole 15 to save birdie. The drama of "moving day" at the USADGC has set the stage for an electrifying final round tomorrow morning.

The competition is expected to reach its climax as the top players face off in the final showdown. With live scoring and tweeting, PDGALive.com will be there to bring all the action to life.
