Powering through adverse weather, the MPO and FPO fields finished the first round of the 2023 season with strong scores and even stronger mental focus at the DGPT - Las Vegas Challenge presented by Innova.
Round 1 was split between two courses with FPO at the Infinite course and MPO at the Millennium course. Both fields ended with a tight spread on the leaderboard with five strokes separating the top 13 players in the FPO and only two strokes separating the top 12 players in the MPO. With three rounds left to go, this is still anyone’s game.
