2026 Discraft‘s Supreme Flight Open - FPO R2B9 Recap

The back nine of moving day at Olympus. The clay-covered tee pads made every step a challenge, but conditions were otherwise nice for scoring. Missy Gannon had tied it up with Lisa Fajkus at ten-under through the front nine, with Taylor Chocek also shooting four-under to join the tie. The difficulty on this course isn’t just getting birdies – it’s staying clean the rest of the time, because trouble finds you fast. Commentary by Madison Walker and Erica Stinchcomb – the Two Hot Geese.

Hole 10 | Par 3 | 325 ft | The backbone, drop-offs everywhere

The backbone hole opened the back nine with its usual dose of anxiety – drop-offs on both sides, OB lurking way down on the right. Most players just try to throw a fairway driver up the middle and manage the green. Rebecca threw a beautiful lucid Evader working the right side – dead straight, no risk. Missy teed off from short of the muddy front section of the tee pad, using the generous pad size to find clean footing. Lisa picked the middle gap, playing smart and not trying anything crazy. Ohn went right and tangoed down the side but was fortunate to have a look. Missy gave it a soft bid from distance that came up just a hair short. Rebecca ran it with authority, missing one inch high – heartbreaking on the sloped green. But she saved it with an incredible comeback putt that had the commentators screaming. A slew of pars from the feature card. Only five birdies on hole 10 today.

Results: All pars

Hole 11 | Par 4 | 430 ft | Prettiest hole, new basket location

The prettiest hole on the course with its new basket location up the hill. Rebecca found the perfect gap with a gorgeous turn that checked up in the nick of time – about as good as you could do it. Missy looked in total control, hyzing just a teeny bit early but landing in a good spot. Lisa took the earlier gap again – not a common route, but she’s making it work two days in a row. Ohn flexed to good placement. More players than ever are making the uphill approach shot work now that the basket has moved. Rebecca and Lisa both converted their birdies – two of 13 on the day. Ohn had a rare miss on the uphill putt, struggling with the stagger stance as always. Missy was too far to convert but managed par.

Results: Fajkus birdie | Cox birdie | Gannon par | Scoggins par

Hole 12 | Par 4 | 620 ft | Downhill, OB left, forehand advantage

The forehand advantage hole where 40% of the field took birdies today. Missy threw a driver off the tee and absolutely crushed it – all the way to circle two at the MPO basket position. She was so hyped she got a shake from her husband. After finding the OB deep with a driver yesterday, the correction was emphatic. Ohn worked the flex and rode the OB line, then went over the corner with a wild forehand that nobody else would choose to throw – a beautiful enigma. Lisa had a great look and continued her hot streak with a birdie from a knee. Rebecca caught that line of trees on the funky blind hyzer angle and had to settle for par. Three birdies on the card with Ohn’s being “the weirdest for sure.”

Results: Gannon birdie | Fajkus birdie | Scoggins birdie | Cox par

Hole 13 | Par 4 | 468 ft | Checkerboard pines, elevated basket

The same checkered wall of pine trees that drives everyone crazy. No great way through – just a lot of small gaps and a lot of luck. Lisa continued her turkey with a third consecutive birdie, pushing through and finding the green. Ohn also converted for birdie despite landing in a tight spot and working a forehand through a tiny gap. Rebecca managed her way through for par. Missy overturned her drive, caught a kick to the middle, but couldn’t escape the checkerboard on her approach and took her first bogey of the back nine. The commentators noted this was a forgiving bogey hole where you could be easy on yourself.

Results: Fajkus birdie | Scoggins birdie | Cox par | Gannon bogey

Hole 14 | Par 5 | 900 ft | Up the bluff, calm conditions

The first par 5 of the back nine, playing calmer today without yesterday’s headwind. The bluff off the tee remains everyone’s enemy. Rebecca threw a really nice hyzer on her second shot, managing the OB left side perfectly and setting up a backhand approach to the green. She earned a well-deserved birdie – her game had been cleaning up beautifully over the last six holes, battling back from the front nine. Lisa found dense rough on her second shot after a cut roll, but managed a great out and a par save. Missy pushed her second shot too far right but played smart, not trying anything crazy. Ohn landed in the rough and couldn’t quite find a gap. About a quarter of the field birdied this one – slightly fewer than usual.

Results: Cox birdie | Fajkus par | Gannon par | Scoggins par

Hole 15 | Par 5 | 883 ft | Long tunnel, three birdies on card

The 883-foot tunnel where keeping it in the center is everything. Rebecca threw a lucid Evader that was “so good” off the tee, and her hyzer flip approach got a little more turn than wanted but finished near circle’s edge for a birdie look. Ohn pushed the edge of the foliage all day and was rewarded with dead center positioning. Missy also found green with her signature hyzer flip game. Lisa found her shot cut-rolling to the right on the second shot and had to work through dense rough, but still managed a par save. Three birdies on the lead card – Missy, Ohn, and Rebecca all converting – with Lisa the odd one out after her turkey was interrupted.

Results: Gannon birdie | Scoggins birdie | Cox birdie | Fajkus par

Hole 16 | Par 4 | 635 ft | Most difficult hole of the day (again)

The monster struck again – most difficult hole of the day with 60% of the field taking bogey or worse, 20% taking doubles, and only one birdie (shoutout Trinity Bryant). The optical illusion off the tee continued to fool everyone. Rebecca played the hole about as good as you can – smart play off the tee, well-managed approaches, chipping up for a clean par. Only two competitors reached circle one in regulation, only five reached circle two. Missy couldn’t do much with her approach and was forced to chip up to the green for bogey. Lisa put a lot on her approach but the angles were never friendly, also taking bogey. Ohn tried to bite off too much in the hallway, found the left side rough, and couldn’t stop the bleeding – double bogey.

Results: Cox par | Gannon bogey | Fajkus bogey | Scoggins double bogey

Hole 17 | Par 3 | 175 ft | Star frame – all birdies

The breath of fresh air before hole 18 – and the lead card delivered the first star frame of the 2026 season. All four players found the circle on the 175-foot putter shot and all four converted. Lisa drained a really great birdie putt to get the frame started. Rebecca, Ohn, and Missy all followed suit. From five players in circle two on hole 16 to 34 out of 44 competitors in circle two on this one – the contrast couldn’t be sharper. The Spanish moss, the beautiful view from the top of the property, and four birdies to wrap it up.

Results: Fajkus birdie | Cox birdie | Scoggins birdie | Gannon birdie

Hole 18 | Par 5 | 680 ft | Rules controversy, drama down the mountain

The iconic finisher delivered all the drama. From the chase card, Hanna Huynh threw a backhand that hyzered out and went OB. In previous years, an optional drop zone was available, but this year the rules changed – if your disc crossed in bounds, you take it from where it last crossed rather than the drop zone. The ruling penalized Huynh, and the resulting confusion and frustration led to a cascading disaster that saw her finish the hole on her ninth throw. A brutal break for a player who was in a tie for second. The commentators were emphatic: this rule change created unfair situations on a blind hill where nobody can tell if a disc crossed.

On the lead card, Ohn worked her way up the hill and her third shot was a bullseye, converting for birdie. Rebecca went backhand off the tee, nearly finding OB deep, but got a friendly kick off the cliffside. She went for the eagle but couldn’t quite get there, settling for par. Missy dealt with the same branch that caught her yesterday, went out of bounds, and took it from where she last crossed – bogey. Lisa also found the OB and had a similar rules discussion with her card about whether she crossed. The card determined she did, but it was the exact type of blind, contested situation the commentators wanted to avoid. Lisa finished with a double bogey.

Results: Scoggins birdie | Cox par | Gannon bogey | Fajkus double bogey

Back 9 Summary

The back nine told a story of resilience and heartbreak. Lisa Fajkus’ turkey on holes 11-13 was the hot stretch of the round, but the double bogey on 18 dropped her from the lead. Rebecca Cox’s four-under back nine was a masterclass in fighting back – after the quadruple bogey on hole 2, she could have folded, but instead cleaned up her game and earned birdies on 11, 14, 15, and 17. Ohn Scoggins found her groove late with birdies on 12, 13, 15, 17, and 18 to salvage a three-under back nine. Missy Gannon played even on the back – a bogey on 13 and 18 offset by birdies on 12, 15, and 17.

But the headline was Taylor Chocek, who swooped into first place at twelve-under with back-to-back six-under rounds. Jessica Gurthie also shot six-under to tie Ella Hansen’s hot round of the day. Championship Sunday’s lead card: Taylor Chocek, Lisa Fajkus, Jessica Gurthie, and Missy Gannon. Ohn Scoggins on the chase card. Only two strokes separating the lead and chase cards – anyone could win.
