Patrick Brown Dominates at Steady Ed Memorial Masters Cup
Date Published
The first round of the 2015 Steady Ed Memorial Masters Cup has come to a close, and with it, some stunning performances have left the competition in awe. Patrick Brown, playing in the Open Masters division, took top honors after carding an impressive 11 birdies and just one bogey for a final score of 62, 10 under par.
Brown's incredible round saw him tackle even the most challenging holes with ease, including a remarkable birdie on Hole 11. This notorious tree-plagued hole features a narrow fairway, low ceiling, and an out-of-bounds road on the right, making it one of the toughest shots in the course.
As Brown's drive was already parked for birdie on Hole 16, it became clear that he was having one of those magical days where everything seemed to fall into place. By this time, he had already carded birdies on some of the most demanding holes on the front half of the course, cementing his position as a force to be reckoned with.
The competition will undoubtedly be fierce tomorrow morning as Brown tees off at 10:10am PDT in an attempt to claim his second consecutive Masters Cup win. He'll be joined by Chris Brophy, Jason Tyra, and local hero Jonathan Baldwin, all vying for the top spot.
In the Open division, Paul McBeth and Nate Doss finished the day tied for first place at nine under par after taking birdies on the final hole, dubbed "Top of the World" by locals. Gregg Barsby sits in third place at eight under par, while Simon Lizotte and Jeremy Koling are tied for fourth a throw behind.
The Open Women's division saw Val Jenkins and Catrina Allen share top honors with the same score, four over par, unofficially rating 981. Another pair of competitors joined them on the lead card tomorrow, with Paige Pierce and Jessica Weese finishing just two throws behind the leaders.
Tomorrow's action promises to be just as thrilling, with live hole-by-hole scores available through @pdgalive on Twitter. High-resolution pictures from the day can already be found on the PDGA Flickr page, while videos will be posted in the morning by The Disc Golf Guy, Central Coast Disc Golf, and Prodigy Disc.
