Rain Soaks Disc Golfers on Day Two of Hall of Fame Classic
Date Published
Day two of the Hall of Fame Classic got off to a soggy start at the International Disc Golf Center. The morning was dominated by the threat of rain, with players preparing for the worst. And it didn't take long for the skies to unleash their fury. Umbrellas and extra towels became essential accessories as players battled the elements on the course.
The Open division took on the challenging W.R. Jackson course first, designed by John Houck. The course's reputation for being one of the most difficult at the center was put to the test as players navigated its 69 holes in treacherous conditions. Nikko Locastro and Ricky Wysocki led the pack early on, but it was a different story later in the day.
Meanwhile, Sarah Hokom's lead in the Open Women's division was short-lived. On the card with her were Sarah Cunningham, Elaine King, and Des Reading, who all put up impressive scores despite the rain. But it was Cunningham who stole the show, carding a 5-under-par round to take a commanding 11-stroke lead over King and Reading.
In other news, Ricky Wysocki showed his mettle in the rain, shooting a blistering 55 on the Steady Ed Memorial course with the help of three caddies - including his family members. The result moved him into contention for the top spot.
As the day drew to a close, Dave Feldberg emerged as a new contender, jumping from fourth place to take over the lead card after posting an impressive 9-under-par score. He now sits just five strokes behind the leader, with Garrett Gurthie and Nikko Locastro in hot pursuit.
The amateur divisions tee off tomorrow morning at 9:00 AM, followed by the Open divisions at 10:30 AM. The forecast looks bleak, with rain expected to continue throughout the day. Live scores will be available online for those unable to attend in person.
