Thrills and Upsets at the 2011 Memorial Championship Round Two

Date Published

The sun-kissed Fountain Park in Arizona played host to the second round of the 2011 Memorial Championship Presented by Discraft, and it was a day that will be remembered for its thrilling scores and upsets. The picturesque venue was treated to near-perfect weather, making it an ideal setting for players to shoot low.


The Men's Open Division took center stage as Paul McBeth and his competitors teed off just after 2:10 pm, accompanied by a small but enthusiastic gallery of locals. McBeth managed to maintain his position with a respectable round of 49, keeping him firmly in contention. However, Ken Climo seized the opportunity, unleashing a scorching hot round that saw him score an impressive 44.


Climo's remarkable performance propelled him into the lead, leaving McBeth one stroke behind as they head into the third and final round today. Geoff Bennett, Nate Doss, and Devan Owens all turned in impressive scores of 46, catapulting them up the leaderboard and setting themselves up for a thrilling finish.


In the Open Women's Division, Valerie Jenkins found herself firmly entrenched at the top of the leaderboard with a consistent score of 56. However, a stunning performance from Sarah Hokom earned her second place on the board, sending shockwaves through the division.


The Pro Master's Division saw Patrick Brown take up residence at the top spot, having accumulated an impressive one-stroke lead over his competitors. Brown is no stranger to success, having come agonizingly close to claiming victory in last year's Tim Selinske US Masters. George Smith and Dan Olesky, both of whom are well-known for their prowess on the course, trail behind him by a single stroke.


Meanwhile, the Grandmasters Division has drawn its share of legendary players and contributors to the sport, with Jim "No Spin" Myers establishing an impressive eight-stroke lead over local player Harvey Brandt. Rob Billig, Dr. Rick Voakes, and James Schultz are locked in a three-way tie for third place, setting the stage for a nail-biting conclusion.
