Masters Division Leaders Emerge as 2018 Pro Worlds Approaches Final Rounds
Date Published
The stage is set for an exciting conclusion to the 2018 PDGA Professional Masters Disc Golf World Championships. After two days of intense competition, the top players in the Masters 40+ and 50+ divisions have emerged from the pack, while the rest of the field is vying for position at Heritage Park.
On Wednesday, the Masters 40+ competitors took on the challenging Waterworks Park course, with steep uphills and downhills testing their skills. The competition was fierce, but only six players remain within five strokes of the lead, which is now shared by JohnE McCray, David Feldberg, and Brian Schweberger.
However, it's not just these three leaders who are making waves in the tournament. California's Shasta Criss has made a strong impression with a blistering start to his round at Waterworks, earning him a spot on the lead card alongside Delaware's Mike Moser, who is tied for second place with defending Masters World Champion Barry Schultz and Chris Sprague.
In the Masters 50+ division, Patrick Brown has pulled ahead of 2017 champion Ron Convers by three strokes, setting up an intriguing showdown at Bad Rock Creek in the final round. Oklahoma's Convers may have a reputation for excelling in windy conditions, but so far, the wind has been minimal, and Brown is making the most of it.
Meanwhile, the rest of the divisions have been competing at Heritage Park, where the pristine grass fairways have provided a picturesque backdrop for their battles. Disc Golf Hall of Fame member David Greenwell is leading the Masters 60+ division after turning in an impressive 5-under par 57 on Wednesday. However, he faces stiff competition from Dr. Rick Voakes and Kazuo Shirai, who are tied with him just one stroke behind.
Randy Beers has taken the last spot on the lead card in the Masters 60+ division, sharing fourth place with Kenny Lee after a hot round of 55 at Heritage. As the tournament enters its final rounds, all eyes will be on these top players as they battle for supremacy and the coveted world title.
With favorable weather forecasted and courses now better understood, expect even more impressive scores to emerge in the coming days. Stay tuned for live updates, hole-by-hole scores, pictures, and videos at pdgalive.com.
