2024 MVP Open | FPO R1B9 | Handley, Scoggins, Gannon, Tattar | Jomez Disc Golf
The 2024 MVP Open is presented by OTB Discs and features an exciting back nine of Round One at Maple Hill. Erica Stinko and Madison Walker provide insightful commentary on the challenging course conditions, including the impact of rain, wind, and mist on the players' strategies. They discuss the merits of playing aggressively on the front nine versus maintaining a solid score on the back nine. The duo also highlights the significant changes made to the course, particularly the uphill par-three 10th hole, which now requires a more direct shot due to a changed tee box location and surrounding trees. The discussion touches on the lead positions, with Anakin Sten and Natalie Ryan tied at three under par, and how these changes might affect the overall scoring. The commentary also mentions power players like Ella, who will need to harness their skills to navigate the treacherous terrain of Maple Hill.
