Toboggan Course Bites Back as Leaders Hang On in US Amateur Disc Golf Championship

The Toboggan course in the US Amateur Disc Golf Championship has proven to be a formidable challenge for even the top players. On Saturday, Zachary Tesone and Ilkin Groh continued to lead the field after day two, despite both scoring higher than they had on Friday. The pair, who were tied at 6-under par going into round two, battled back and forth throughout the day.

Tesone's solid performance was notable, as he limited himself to just one bogey during the second round. He credited his ability to "play safe and play smart" with keeping him in contention, despite facing challenging winds that affected his game.

Groh, on the other hand, struggled at times during the day, taking a few bogies due to poor putts and decisions. However, he refused to give up and showed remarkable mental toughness by bouncing back from setbacks to maintain his second place position just two strokes behind Tesone.

The final round will see Groh and Tesone joined on the lead card by Braeden Sides, who made a stunning surge into contention with a hot round of 3-under par. The young player's impressive performance has earned him a tie for fourth place after starting the tournament far back in the field.

Sides' experience and endurance will likely be an advantage as he takes on the challenging Toboggan course in the final round. He expressed confidence that his stamina would see him through, particularly if his competitors continue to feel the effects of the grueling terrain.

With the competition heating up, fans can expect a thrilling conclusion to the 2022 United States Amateur Disc Golf Championship. The lead card will tee off at 2:48 p.m ET on Sunday, with Live Scoring and complete coverage available on our website.
