Thrilling Finale Awaits at Discraft Great Lakes Open
Date Published
The stage is set for an electrifying conclusion at the Toboggan in Milford, Michigan, as the 40th Discraft Great Lakes Open enters its final day. The Disc Golf Pro Tour and PDGA Elite Series have reached their tenth stop, and Sunday's action promises to be nothing short of thrilling.
In the women's division (FPO), Natalie Ryan has seized a four-stroke lead after an outstanding performance on Saturday. Her 1007-rated round of 58 showcased her exceptional skills, although she narrowly missed achieving double digits with only one bogey – which occurred on hole 18. Three players are hot on her heels, each within five strokes of the lead: Emily Beach and Valerie Mandujano both maintained their positions after solid rounds, while Paige Pierce rounded out the lead card at 10-under.
The competition in the men's division (MPO) is equally fierce, with Corey Ellis and Calvin Heimburg tied for the top spot. Ellis held his share of the lead through a consistent performance, but Heimburg's late surge – featuring an impressive 5-under back nine and the best stretch on the course – has added an extra layer of excitement to the championship chase. Heimburg led the field in strokes gained tee-to-green with a remarkable 5.56.
Other notable players close to the lead include Paul McBeth, Simon Lizotte, Adam Hammes, Ricky Wysocki, Albert Tamm, and Kyle Klein, all of whom are within five strokes of the top spot. The strong leaderboard bodes well for an action-packed Sunday at Kensington Metropark's challenging course.
With a talented field vying for victory, fans can look forward to a thrilling finale at the Discraft Great Lakes Open on Sunday. The event is available live on the Disc Golf Network, providing spectators with unparalleled access to the excitement unfolding in Michigan.
