Nate Doss Stays Ahead at Vibram Open with Record-Breaking Round

Nate Doss is still on top after an incredible second day at the $50,000 Vibram Open, held at the challenging Maple Hill Disc Golf Course in Leicester, Massachusetts. The reigning World Champion shot a stunning 5-under-par 55 to keep his lead intact, following up on his opening round of 53.

Doss's impressive performance was marked by six birdies and just one bogey, as he navigated the treacherous course with ease. His putting and short game were particularly noteworthy, as he described hitting basket from everywhere, with a strong focus on long putts.

In comparison to his opening round, Doss noted that the conditions on Saturday were more challenging due to stronger winds. However, he was undeterred by this, instead choosing to focus on his strengths and capitalizing on them to achieve an outstanding score.

Defending Vibram champion Nikko Locastro found himself in second place after shooting a respectable 4-under-par 56. Although two throws behind Doss's total, Locastro remains optimistic about his chances of taking the top spot.

"I felt like I had half good shots and some got away," Locastro said, reflecting on his performance. "I left a couple of shots out there, but I'm not too concerned. I've got another day to go."

Richard Wysocki sits in third place with a score of 57, four behind Doss's lead. Meanwhile, Josh Anthon, who started the tournament strongly with a 58 on Friday, finished Saturday's round with a 55 and currently occupies fourth position.

The men's leaderboard is filled with strong contenders, as several players tied for the best round of the day with a 55 – including Steve Brinster, Paul McBeth, and Gregg Barsby. They will all look to build on their momentum in tomorrow's final round.

In the women's tournament, Sarah Stanhope maintained her lead with a solid second-round score of 6-over-par 66. The reigning Vibram champion is hoping to put together a complete round on Sunday, rather than relying on inconsistent performances throughout the day.

"I can't let nerves get the best of me," Stanhope said. "I need to play my game and put everything together." She will be joined by fellow leaders Sarah Hokom, Val Jenkins, and Paige Pierce in tomorrow's final round.

Play resumes at Maple Hill Disc Golf Course on Sunday, with tee times scheduled for 7:40 a.m. The men's leaders will take to the course at noon, while the women's leaders begin their rounds at 11 a.m. For up-to-date scores and tee times, visit the Vibram Scores page or head to the Vibram Open web page.
