Jonesboro Open Powered by Prodigy: Robinson, Buhr maintain momentum
With little time to recalibrate coming off the first Major of the season, the Prodigy Team traveled to the Jonesboro Open Powered by Prodigy at Arkansas' Disc Side of Heaven to compete for another Disc Golf Pro Tour Elite event title.
Podium place
Fresh from the win at the Champions Cup, Isaac Robinson jumped five spots up the leaderboard on a gusty Sunday with an 8-under final round to finish in a tie for second place. Robinson averaged over 1050-rated golf over three rounds while notching his fourth consecutive top 10 finish at a DGPT Silver event or higher.
A bogey-free final round kept Gannon Buhr in the top 10, his sixth of the year. He led the event in Circle 2 Putting percentage at 53% with 10 makes on the weekend.
