Vibram Open Cut Day: Leiviska & Jenkins Lead Ahead of Final Round
Date Published
The fog may have lifted at Maple Hill today, but the tension remains as the top golfers from around the world battled it out to secure their spots in the final round of the 2012 Vibram Open. The day started off chilly and wet, with rain showers clearing by mid-morning, giving way to a beautiful late summer New England afternoon.
As the cut was made, 83 men and 6 women earned a guaranteed spot in Sunday's competition, each set to receive a share of the $50,000 purse. However, only one player will take home the coveted title and the grand prize.
Ricky Wysocki maintained his lead with an impressive score of 54, matching yesterday's round, while Cale Leiviska shot a 52 today, closing in on the top spot by just one throw. Their battle for first place is shaping up to be one for the ages.
But the drama isn't limited to the men's competition. On the women's side, Val Jenkins and current World Champion Sarah Hokom found themselves flip-flopped in the standings, now tied for first place with a score of 197. Catrina Allen trails closely behind, only one throw off the pace.
As the final round approaches, questions remain about who will rise to the challenge and take home the title. Will Cale Leiviska make history as the first repeat MPO winner of the MSDGC/Vibram Open series? Can Val Jenkins secure her second FPO championship at the Vibram Open?
The stakes are high not only for the top prize but also for the National Tour Elite Series points race, which will be decided at the end of Sunday's competition. Paul MacBeth currently leads the men, while Val Jenkins is in pole position on the women's side.
As the players take to the course once more tomorrow, one thing is certain: only one can emerge victorious. Will it be Ricky Wysocki, Cale Leiviska, or perhaps someone else entirely? The world will be watching as the drama unfolds at Maple Hill.
The final round begins bright and early on Sunday morning, with the Amateurs taking to the course first, followed by the National Tour Pros and Ladies cards. Tune in to www.pdga.com for live scoring updates from 10AM Eastern onwards to find out who will claim victory at the 2012 Vibram Open!
