Thursday, July 14, 2022 - 09:46
A few leaders began to establish themselves but for the most part, the 2022 PDGA Masters Disc Golf World Championships are wide open at the midway point.
There were six lead changes, several battles that are showing they’re going to come down to the wire and a few players that have widened the gap among the 24 divisions.
On Thursday, players will return to their opening round courses in the Peoria, Illinois area.
Here’s a look around Masters Worlds:
- Alan Wagner grew his lead to three strokes with the hot round at Eureka Temp in MP40. Joe Rovere is second, one stroke ahead of first-round co-leader Martin Hendel. Michael Johansen joins the lead card as the field heads back to Northwood Black.
- In FP40, Ohn Scoggins kept the putter working with a 52 at McNaughton to push her lead to four strokes over Holly Finley. Juliana Korver carded a 53 to jump to third place.
- Barry Schultz had just one bogey on Northwood Black in an otherwise sterling round to build a two-stroke lead over JohnE McCray in MP50. Schultz carded eight birdies as the two exchanged the lead throughout the round before a stronger finish from Schultz put him in solo first heading back to Eureka Temp.

- Fredrik Granåsen and Mike Forton are knotted up at plus-3, one stroke ahead of Jeff Harper in MP55.
