**META_TITLE:** Great Lakes Open Recap: Lead Cards Set for Sunday's Thrilling Finale

**META_DESCRIPTION:** The top MPO and FPO players shine in Saturday's action-packed round, setting up a thrilling final day at the Discraft Great Lakes Open. Who will emerge victorious?

The stage is set for an electrifying finale as four of the top six MPO players - Kevin Jones, Eagle McMahon, Ricky Wysocki, and James Conrad - posted incredible 11-under rounds at the Discraft's Great Lakes Open on Saturday. It was a day for the ages, with Nate Doss describing it as "The greatest putting round from a group of men that I've ever seen."

Leading the charge was Kevin Jones, who made an astonishing seven circle-2 putts and brought his tournament average to 71% from C2. This impressive feat left him tied with Eagle McMahon for the lead heading into Sunday's final round.

McMahon himself had a remarkable day, birdieing the first five holes on the front nine and posting a 7-under on that segment. However, he cooled off slightly down the stretch to finish at 11-under. When asked about his performance, McMahon told Disc Golf Network's Terry Miller, "I actually felt like I played a lot better today, probably up until about hole 13... I was thinking I could put in a 13 or a 14-under but then things kind of went stale for a few holes."

Ricky Wysocki had an equally impressive day, with four long circle-2 putts, including a monstrous 110-foot shot on hole 13. His prodigious power and putting stroke left everyone in awe.

James Conrad rounded out the lead card with his own bogey-free 11-under round, featuring four circle-2 putts of his own.

On the FPO side, Paige Pierce struggled on the front nine but turned it around on the back nine to improve on Friday's 5-under and stretch her lead to five heading into Sunday's final. When asked about her performance, she told Miller, "There were some holes that I cleaned up, for sure... But there were a couple other errors that I didn’t clean up."

Joining Pierce on the lead card will be Catrina Allen, who managed to post a 3-under round despite a disappointing C1x putting performance. Other talented newcomers Heather Young and Ellen Widboom also made their presence felt, with Widboom carding an FPO-leading eight birdies.

The stage is set for a thrilling conclusion at the Discraft Great Lakes Open on Sunday. Don't miss the live coverage of the MPO and FPO final round lead cards beginning at 2pm ET.
