It’s Feldberg’s Worlds To Lose Now

August 14th, 2008 by Rick Rothstein · No Comments

It would appear that David Feldberg took the lead at these Worlds on the seventh hole of the fifth round this morning, and I’m betting that is the end of the story—Feldberg will be the World Champion and will join Climo as the only man to win all three “major” majors (Catch 22 anyone?)—the Worlds, the USGDC, and the Japan Open. However, with 3.5 rounds left, anyone within 12 throws has a chance. I’m not sure if Nikko Locastro, aged 17 or 18, and now down four after leading most of the way, has the mental game to stage a comeback. However, it appears that so far he has been keeping the negative emotions that he has been prone to express at bay. Hopefully, he’ll just keep playing his game. Matt Orum, who was something like a bazillion under par this morning (actually “only” a -18 41 on a 6661′ layout) roared up the leaderboard to trail Feldberg by 6. Of course, Matt was in the thick of the Worlds battle in 2006, finishing 2nd and has the mettle to keep charging. Eric McCabe and Geoff Bennett are 10 out of the lead—a lot of throws to overcome, even with 63 holes left to play. Nate is 11 out and as defending champion will be the most motivated. All and all, it’s now Feldberg’s event to lose, and after this afternoon’s round we’ll know if it’s going to be a good battle or a coronation.
