McBeth Mounts Comeback to Share Lead with Gossage at Pro Worlds

As the pressure mounts with just two rounds left to play, the battle for the championship title is heating up at the 2022 PDGA Professional Disc Golf World Championships. Paul McBeth, a five-time world champion, has made a stunning comeback to share the lead with Aaron Gossage.

McBeth's resurgence began on the first hole of Thursday's action at Jones Park, where he erased his two-stroke deficit to Gossage with a pair of birdies. He went on to card seven consecutive birdies, including a crucial birdie putt from 60 feet on the final hole of the back nine.

Despite battling a lingering calf cramp, McBeth finished six under on the back nine and matched Gossage's impressive score to share the lead at 12 under par for the tournament. The duo will be joined by Chris Clemons, who also carded a 12-under round, in a tight three-way tie.

Aaron Gossage, known for his consistent play, continued his breakout performance with a 10-under round. He and McBeth have been neck-and-neck all week, with the pressure mounting as they vie for the championship title.

Other contenders are also vying for the top spot, including Calvin Heimburg in fourth place at 27 under par and Tristan Tanner, who leads the chase card at 26 under. Ricky Wysocki, a seasoned player, is just four strokes off the pace, warning that it's "time to pounce" as the tournament reaches its climax.

The final two rounds will take place at Emporia Country Club, with live coverage available on the Disc Golf Network starting at 2:30 pm CT. PDGA members can watch the action unfold for free. Will McBeth or Gossage make a decisive move, or will another contender emerge to claim the championship title? The answer lies in the next two rounds of intense competition.
