Stormy Weather Can't Dampen Spirits at Prodigy Presents WACO Disc Golf Tour Stop
Date Published
The second round of the Prodigy Presents WACO Disc Golf Tour Stop was marked by dramatic weather conditions, but it was the disc golfers who stole the show. A thunderstorm swept through Lake Waco Golf Club in the morning, clearing the skies and setting the stage for an exciting day on the course.
In the FPO division, Ella Hansen took the lead with a blistering 6-under-par stretch on the back nine, carding nine birdies and just one bogey to move into first place. Her score of 8-under-par unofficially rated 1035 gave her a two-stroke advantage over Ohn Scoggins, who had planned for a day of "boring golf" but achieved the second-best score at minus-5.
Scoggins, along with Hailey King, remains in contention heading back to the more technical Brazos East course. Kristin Tattar's 3-under-par effort kept her in third place, despite losing strokes to Hansen and Scoggins. Top-10 players like Holyn Handley turned their games around, closing with six birdies in nine holes to stay on the lead card.
The halfway mark saw some significant moves from Hailey King, Henna Blomroos, and Eveliina Salonen, who all rose up the leaderboard. Natalie Ryan rounded out the chase card in a tie for sixth at 4-under-par.
On the MPO side, a morning weather delay pushed back tee times, followed by an afternoon lightning delay that left several groups still on the course. An 11-under showing from Benjamin Callaway vaulted him 74 places up the leaderboard to a tie for 25th.
Luke Humphries completed a bogey-free round of 10-under-par, moving up 11 positions before play was suspended. Niklas Anttila and Gregg Barsby currently hold the lead card with an even par finish, but Joel Freeman, Gannon Buhr, Nate Sexton, and Mason Ford are all lurking with scores of -16 or better.
Coverage continues on Saturday morning with the conclusion of the MPO second round and the FPO third round at Brazos East.
