Thrills and Near-Misses at Discraft's Green Mountain Championship

Yesterday's ace is old news - today, the buzzword was "eagle" at the Discraft's Green Mountain Championship. For Matt Bell, it was a moment to remember on hole 11 of the Brewster Ridge course. His perfect drive set him up for an eagle opportunity, which he successfully executed. The good news for Bell is that he made the cut and will be competing in the final round tomorrow at the Fox Run course.

While eagles are certainly impressive, it's the birdies that stole the show today. In the FPO division, a three-way tie emerged between Catrina Allen, Jessica Weese, and Paige Pierce for the most birdies on the day. However, each player had different strategies in mind - Allen aimed to take the lead, Weese sought to secure a spot on the lead card, and Pierce was fighting to recover from an earlier triple OB eight.

The final standings saw Jessica Weese take the lead card tomorrow, Catrina Allen move up two spots to second, and Paige Pierce still trailing by six strokes. It's worth noting that with Pierce's past performances in mind, it's anyone's game - even a large lead can be overcome.

In the MPO division, Nate Sexton's bogey-free -11 down round was a highlight of the day. Despite his valiant effort to reach the lead card, he ultimately couldn't keep pace with Ricky, Cale, and Nate Doss. Michael Johansen attempted to close the gap between himself and Nate Doss by shaving one stroke off Doss's lead with an impressive bogey-free -12 on the Brewster Ridge Course.

Honorable mentions for birdies in the MPO division go to Zach Melton and Weston Isaacs, who both shot -11 bogey-free rounds to break into the top 10 going into the final round of the GMC.

Looking at the numbers, it's clear that the FPO division had a few bogeys, most notably Paige Pierce's nine bogey strokes. Her triple bogey on hole seven was enough to drop her down to second card tomorrow.

In contrast, the MPO division's top 10 players showed an impressive lack of bogies - a total of just three were recorded throughout the day. Ricky Wysocki took a bogey on hole 15 after hitting a tree early, Cale Leiviska carded a bogey on hole 11 after struggling with rough shots, and Jeremy Koling carded a bogey on hole one after hitting a tree early on his drive.

The stage is set for an exciting finish in the MPO division tomorrow at the Fox Run course. Don't miss out - tune in to watch all the action live at 2:30pm ET!
