Moving Day
Moving Day
It was Moving Day today in Bowling Green and today's action lived up to expectations.
In the Advanced field North Carolina's David Wiggins was behind by two throws and now leads Bowling Green's Jon Millay by a throw. Friday's leader Matt Travis is currently tied for third only four throws back. Trey Williams of Greensboro, North Carolina is also making a run for one the the coveted spots in the finals. He is technically tied for second according to par but has to play Phil Moore park which is listed as par 59 compared to the A pools round at Hobson Grove which is listed at par 55.
In the Intermediate division Monroe, Ohio's Tim Bretland now has a one throw lead which is a three throw swing from yesterday. His lead would probably be even larger considering he had a 875 rated round today at Preston Miller.
One of the most impressive moves of the day belongs to Kevin Peterson of Huntsville, Alabama. After the first round Kevin was tied for 19th place but his stellar play at Franklin and Phil Moore have given him a four throw margin going into tomorrow's final round.
Other division leaders include...
Advanced Women: Jamie Sternke (Menonomie, Wisconsin)
Advanced Grandmasters: Jimmy Finfrock(Dayton, Ohio)
Advanced Senior Grandmasters: Bill Ball (Piedmont, SC)
Intermediate Women: Lauren Yurt (Louisville, KY)

Tonight was the Fly Mart and all who attended had a great time and hopefully found an abundance of disc golf related merchandise. The entertainment for the evening was the Ernie Small Blues Band lead by none other than Bowling Green's Ernie Small. Ernie had the blues about his 63 at Ephram White today but that definitely didn't stop him for putting on a great show tonight.
Tomorrow is the last preliminary round at 8:00am Central time followed by the finals which will be held at Hobson Grove and the adjoining Riverview Golf Course. Keep checking PDGA.com for coverage of tomorrow's action.
