The FPO field took to Fox Run Meadows for Round 2 of the 2023 PDGA Professional Disc Golf World Championships presented by L.L.Bean on Thursday.
While the field fought through heavy rain at Brewster Ridge in the opening round, the open fairways at Fox Run provided windy conditions on day two.
PROFESSIONAL MAJOR
“It felt like an eternity out there,” said Missy Gannon after the opening round of the 2023 PDGA Professional Disc Golf World Championships presented by L.L.Bean.
The FPO division faced multiple changes to the weather including heavy rain as they made their way through the woods at Brewster Ridge. Despite the difficult conditions and the pressure of the PDGA Major, the top 14 players were able to stay under par for the day.
There were several hot rounds early at the 2023 PDGA Professional Disc Golf World Championships presented by L.L.Bean with more on the way before the dark skies moved over the Green Mountains of Vermont.
Lightning arrived just after Wednesday’s feature card teed off and forced a lengthy delay. Six cards heard the horns again at dusk and will resume their opening round Thursday morning.
Every year, the Global Board of Directors of the Professional Disc Golf Association considers potential changes to the rules and regulations of disc golf: the Official Rules of Disc Golf, the Competition Manual for Disc Golf Events, and the Tour Standards.
