Stay in the moment.
That’s what Eagle McMahon told himself coming down the stretch of the Portland Open, where a two-stroke lead had quickly become a shot-for-shot battle.
Sunday’s finale in the Pacific Northwest had plenty of moments.
After a slip from Kevin Jones, who had surged to take a two-shot lead with four holes to play, McMahon found himself in a familiar spot: a putt on the 18th hole to win the tournament.
A much windier day at Glendoveer Golf Park made for some exciting golf for the 2nd round of the 2021 Portland Open presented by Dynamic Discs. With wide open and long fairways, the wind and trees proved a little more visible during Saturday’s round than the one previous.
After Round 1 of the Portland Open presented by Dynamic Discs, it would be hard to imagine anyone betting against Ricky Wysocki or Paul McBeth, who battled their way up and down Glendoveer Golf Course to take the top 2 spots.
