Masters Cup Drama Unfolds as Leaders Hold Tight
Date Published
The second day of competition at the Steady Ed Memorial Masters Cup was marked by perfect weather and challenging conditions on the DeLaveaga course. Despite ideal conditions, many players failed to improve their scores from the previous day, leaving some fans wondering if the wind had a bigger impact than initially thought. However, Patrick Brown was one exception, shooting an impressive 8 under par in his first round yesterday. He continued his strong play today, carding an even par score that still has him leading going into the final round.
Not far behind is Micah Dorius, who narrowed the gap to just one stroke with a solid performance of his own. Jonathan Baldwin and Paul McBeth are tied for third place, three throws back from Patrick's lead. The two leaders will tee off tomorrow at 10:30 AM PST, with their card scheduled to go out early in the morning.
In the Open Women's division, Catrina Ulibarri and Paige Pierce were neck and neck for most of the day, but ultimately fell short of Valerie Jenkins' consistent play. Sarah Hokom also impressed with her round, finishing just one throw behind Val. The women will all compete on the same card tomorrow, with Val set to tee off first at 11:10 AM PST.
The Open division saw a mix of highs and lows, with some players shooting significantly better rounds than yesterday while others struggled to make up ground. One standout performer was Philo Brathwaite, who shot an incredible 11 under par for the day – the best round so far in the tournament. He jumped into first place, but Nikko Locastro and Steve Rico are close behind, tied for third just three throws off Philo's lead.
The final round of competition is set to take place tomorrow, with live scores available on pdgalive.com for those following along at home.
