Thrilling Times Ahead at 2015 Pro Worlds in Pittsburgh
Date Published
The excitement is building at the 2015 Pro Worlds in Pittsburgh, with a thrilling finish on the horizon. As the tournament enters its final weekend, the leaderboard has undergone significant changes after Thursday's wild day of play.
Paul McBeth ignited the competition with an incredible hot round, shooting a blistering 51 on the Par 66 course for a -15 score. This outstanding performance allowed him to catch up with Will Schusterick, who had been leading the Men's Open division by two shots. McBeth's impressive round included a string of five consecutive birdies, making it virtually bogey-free.
Schusterick, however, refused to give up without a fight. He carded an equally impressive bogey-free round but managed only eight under par for a score of 58. This left McBeth hot on his heels, just one shot behind the leader.
Michael Johansen and Steve Brinster also made significant strides, both shooting -11 for the day with scores of 55 each. Ricky Wysocki and Nikko Locastro rounded out the lead card for round five, with Wysocki three shots behind Schusterick and Locastro seven back.
The action returns to Moraine State Park on Friday and Saturday, where play was extremely tight after the first round. With the Final 9 taking place at Slippery Rock, a venue known for its low scores, it's anyone's guess who will emerge victorious.
In the Women's Open division, Sarah Hokom extended her lead by five shots with an exceptional -4 (63) score at Slippery Rock University. Her mistake-free round was one of only three under par for the day. Catrina Allen took second place after a hot round of -6 (61), which included four consecutive birdies but also featured a single bogey.
The play will shift to Deer Lakes Park on Friday afternoon, where the action is expected to be just as intense.
