Disc Golf Worlds Day 3:

Some pressure was off because I made the A Group and was above the cut line, but being tied for 50th and not many shots ahead of 72nd, I still needed a good round.

The first half of Mohawk is pretty easy, almost Lucy Park easy, but I only came out with a 3-under. One stupid bogey and another missed putt off the chains. Overall, it was average play I felt.

On the back, I played pretty smart, but missed my last two putts from 15 and 18 feet or I would have played the back in 27. The 29 I had is considered pretty decent, but it should have been 27.

And I never saw any of the poisonous snakes they warned us about. That means my driver was staying in the fairway.

I also participated in the long driving competition. The wind was in in our face, not good, and my first throw was 146 meters. I tried to crush the rest and they were far worse.

The putting contest was fun. I made all the short ones, ones I'd missed in the round, but couldn't nail the long 3 and 5-point putts needed to win.

I have a good shot at making the cut if I can play smart and convert easy putts on Friday. Anthony will need a hot round to make it after he shot a 56 on Mohawk Red.

Mohawk Black is a par-62. I think 59 or lower will be a good round for me. I played a 67 on it the first time I saw it and had several areas for improvement.

Anthony wants a 56, thinks that might get him in. He caddied for me and that was fun, except when he let the scorecards fall out of my bag and I had to run find them.

Jack Banks is sitting in 55th place in Advanced Masters with one round Friday at Haikey Creek. He is just below the cut line currently.

Ken Ratliff is tied for 143rd. There are 244 players in advanced.
