Twin Sisters Lead the Charge at Am Worlds After Dramatic Round Two
Date Published
The 2023 Amateur World Championships have witnessed a historic moment in PDGA Major history - twin sisters leading the way at a World Championship. Morgan and Jordan Lynds, both from Palm City, Florida, USA, are tied for first place in the FA1 division going into round three at Am Worlds. The duo's impressive performance has left the rest of the field vying for position.
Morgan Lynds took advantage of scoring opportunities on day two at Prides Creek Park to shoot a seven-under hot round, propelling herself from fifth to tied for first. Her sister Jordan also had an excellent day, teaming up with Kelley Foster of Allentown, Pennsylvania, USA, to card four-under scores. Foster's solid performance allowed her to jump from 38th place to tied for eighth and earned her a spot on the lead card for Thursday.
The FA1 field witnessed several exciting moments on day two, including Megan Morris' eagle at the first hole of Prides Creek Park. Long putts and clean drives kept the competition intense, with Shiru Liu and Cadence Burge joining the Lynds sisters on the lead card.
In the MA1 division, Paul Krans continued his impressive form from round one, shooting a 10-under par effort on the Mesker Park Hybrid Course. The Wisconsin-based player's bogey-free second round left him in a commanding position going into round three. Mathew Helms is just two strokes behind Krans after an 11-under round at Mesker Park.
The MA1 "A" and "B" pools have been reshuffled, with the top portion of the field moving to Prides Creek Park for round three. The balance of the division will repeat the Mesker Park layout before swapping venues for Friday's round. With the cut reducing the field to the top 20% for the final round on Saturday, competition is heating up at Am Worlds.
The Lynds sisters' historic performance and Krans' impressive lead in the MA1 division set the stage for an exciting conclusion to the 2023 Amateur World Championships.
