Paige Pierce entered the third round of the Women's National Championship with a commanding six-stroke advantage over her competitors. However, a dramatic turn of events on the 18th hole narrowed that gap significantly. Despite carding a double-bogey seven on the final hole, Pierce still managed to match the lowest score of the day at 5-under par, joining Ohn Scoggins and Ellen Widboom in that feat.
Scoggins, who made her East Coast return after a three-year hiatus from professional disc golf, attributed her success to sticking to her game plan. "I had a clear idea of what I wanted to do, and I just stuck with it," she explained on the Inside the Winthop Arena show. Scoggins' strategy involved throwing overstable discs to avoid out-of-bounds shots, a tactic that paid off as she incurred only three OB strokes.
Meanwhile, Widboom's impressive play continued, as she went an entire round without taking any out-of-bounds strokes, improving her second-round score by eight strokes in the process. Other players, including Catrina Allen and Heather Young, also made significant gains on the leaderboard. Allen's strong finish, which included an eagle three on the 18th hole, left her just six strokes behind Pierce.
The Women's National Championship is heating up as it enters its final day of competition. The lead card will tee off at 9:45 a.m. on USDGC.com, with live coverage available on UDisc Live starting at 8 a.m.
