Schusterick Leads at Beaver State Fling, Competition Heats Up
Date Published
The fourth and final round of the 2015 Beaver State Fling is set to take place tomorrow, with several players vying for top spots in various divisions. Will Schusterick has taken the lead in Open Men after shooting a -6 on the day, narrowly edging out Ricky Wysocki and Nate Sexton. However, Steve Rico's impressive -10 on the day has propelled him into contention, tying him with Chandler Fry for the best round of the tournament thus far.
Rico was visibly shaken by his sudden rise in the leaderboards, acknowledging that winning the Beaver State Fling in 2008 means a great deal to him. Paul Ulibarri also jumped ahead with a -9, positioning himself among the leaders for tomorrow's competition. Wysocki's -8 on the day tied him with Sexton for second place.
When asked about the spectators who flocked to watch the tournament as it reaches its finish line, neither Wysocki nor Sexton believed they would be affected by the crowd. Instead, Sexton suggested that having a large audience might actually help players focus and perform better. He even showcased his skills with an impressive eagle on the par 4 hole 8 West, using a roller to clear out-of-bounds obstacles and sinking the putt into a headwind.
In Open Women, Valarie Jenkins regained her footing after carding two bogies en route to a -1 on the day, her best round of the tournament. This has allowed her to tie with Jessica Weese at the top, forcing the competition to intensify in this division as well. Jenkins attributed her improved performance to feeling better after overcoming some plane sickness that had hindered her earlier.
The final round will begin tomorrow morning at 11:10am PST, with the lead cards of both Men's and Women's Open divisions starting at 12:40.
