McBeth Shoots 18-Under Par At Great Lakes Open | Professional Disc Golf Association
Date Published

Paul McBeth has been making waves on the Disc Golf Pro Tour all season long, but his latest performance was truly historic. The four-time PDGA World Champion carded an incredible 18-under par round at the Great Lakes Open in Michigan, shattering the course record and moving into a comfortable lead with one round to play.
McBeth's remarkable effort saw him card only one lone par on the day, offset by an early eagle on the second hole. He then went on to make multiple birdies throughout the round, including a crucial putt on the 18th green that sealed his place at the top of the leaderboard. The 29-under par total is an impressive feat, and it's clear that McBeth was focused on making history.
When asked about his approach to the day, McBeth attributed his success to increased discipline in his preparation leading up to the event. "I think the key word to this week – and really the rest of my year and hopefully career – is just being more disciplined leading up to events," he said. This attention to detail seems to be paying off for McBeth, who has been one of the most dominant players in the sport for several years.
McBeth's record-breaking round was not without its challenges, however. He struggled on hole 10, where he lost his footing and landed short of the pin. Despite this setback, he remained focused and continued to play at an elite level throughout the day.
As McBeth prepares for the final round, he remains cautious about getting too comfortable with his lead. "If you were here yesterday, be thankful you were there yesterday and just enjoy today," he said with a laugh. "Because it's not gonna be the same."
Meanwhile, Sarah Hokom has taken control of the women's division, carding a 6-under par round to take a six-shot lead entering the final round. Hokom was flawless on the course, making bogey-free finish and connecting on multiple crucial putts throughout the day.
The action continues at the Great Lakes Open tomorrow, with shot-by-shot coverage airing at 2:00 p.m. EST on the Disc Golf Pro Tour's YouTube channel. Can anyone catch McBeth in the final round?
