McBeth Shatters Course Record, Pierce Leads Open Women's Division

Date Published

At the Santa Cruz Masters Cup, where some of the world's top disc golf players have gathered, a stunning display of talent was on full show yesterday at DeLaveaga DGC. Among the talented field, one player caught everyone off guard with an astonishing performance that left spectators and competitors alike speechless.


Paul McBeth, a renowned disc golfer, achieved something truly remarkable by finishing 15 under par on the challenging 24-hole course. This incredible feat has been unofficially rated at 1104, placing it alongside only four other rounds in history to reach such an elite level of performance. The round included an impressive 17 birdies and just two bogeys.


When asked about his achievement, McBeth humbly attributed it to a combination of factors coming together during the game. "It was a mixture of everything going well," he said. "I had some shaky moments early on, but other than that, I felt pretty smooth throughout." He also acknowledged that two particularly impressive shots helped boost his score.


As McBeth takes a commanding lead into round 2 with a seven-stroke cushion, the rest of the field has their work cut out for them. NorCal's Christopher Watson sits second at eight under par, while Japan's Manabu Kajiyama and Santa Cruz local Nate Doss are tied in third place. Rounding out the top six is a six-way tie for fifth position.


In the Open Women's division, Paige Pierce showed her continued dominance on the course with a strong performance that earned her the lead. Although visibly frustrated at times during the round, she managed to outplay her competitors and finish with a respectable score of five over par. This score may seem modest compared to some of the top performances in Masters Cup history, but for disc golf enthusiasts, every stroke counts.


Pierce will be joined by Nicole Bradley in round 2, who sits just two strokes off the lead. Jennifer Allen and Valarie Jenkins are tied for third place, one stroke shy of Bradley's score. As the competition heats up, anything can happen on this unpredictable course.


With live scoring set to begin at approximately 10:30am PDT for the top cards in the Open division, fans won't have long to wait before seeing more action from the Santa Cruz Masters Cup. Post-production video coverage of the opening round is already underway via The SpinTV, and viewers can look forward to a thrilling Round 2.
