Thrilling Rounds Set Stage for Final Day of Memorial Championship

Date Published

The sun was shining brightly on the Vista Del Camino Course as the Memorial Championship Presented by Discraft reached its penultimate day. The Grandmaster division kicked off the proceedings, with a talented group of players vying for victory. Meanwhile, in the Men's Open Division, four of the sport's biggest names – Ken Climo, Paul McBeth, Paul Ulibarri, and Josh Anthon – took to the course.


As the wind picked up on the challenging first five holes, these renowned disc golfers displayed their mastery of the game. They carded numerous birdies, showcasing their skill and precision. However, one shot stood out from the rest: Paul McBeth's incredible 360-degree run-up on hole 10, which left his opponents in awe. McBeth landed an air shot with ease, landing it just 20 feet short of pin high to the left – a truly remarkable feat.


As the afternoon wore on, it became clear that McBeth was on a mission. He barely missed a single putt, carding an impressive 50 and taking the lead going into the final round. Barry Schultz, Nikko Locastro, and Nate Doss all shot solid rounds in the upper 40s, securing their spots on the lead card alongside McBeth for tomorrow's action-packed finale.


In the Pro Women's Division, Valarie Jenkins, Paige Pierce, and Sarah Hokom are locked in a thrilling battle for top honors. Each player has consistently delivered exceptional performances throughout the tournament, with only one stroke separating them from the lead. Tomorrow will be a day to remember as they vie for that perfect round to seal their victory.


The Men's Pro Masters Division is also witnessing an intense showdown between George Smith and local favorite Dan Oleksy. Despite being part of a closely contested leaderboard all week, these two players have managed to pull ahead and establish a respectable lead going into Saturday's play.


In the Grandmasters division, Jim Myers held a significant 9-stroke advantage entering today's round. However, James Schultz from Turlock, California, shot an impressive 1050-rated 52 on the treacherous Vista course, closing the gap with Myers and earning himself a tie for first place. Tournament Director Dan Ginnelly also made a move up the leaderboard, carding a 56 to jump into fifth position.


As the stage is set for a thrilling conclusion, fans can look forward to live coverage of the final day on DiscGolfPlanet.tv. The site will broadcast a live internet feed starting at 2:15 pm Eastern Time, while live scoring of the Men's lead card will be available from 4:10 pm Eastern.
