Round two of the 2023 Disc Golf Pro Tour — Open at Austin presented by Lone Star Disc saw much better scoring conditions than Friday's opening round and gave the FPO and MPO fields a chance to show the potential of the new Harvey Penick course in Austin Texas.

While the MPO field finished moving day with another tight race at the top of the leaderboard, the FPO field saw two players pull ahead, setting up another wild finish in the Lone Star State.

The first ever Open at Austin, the third stop of the 2023 Disc Golf Pro Tour season, kicked off with a windy opening round, causing difficulties for even the best players in the FPO and MPO fields as they navigate a brand-new course designed specifically for this event.

Gusty 20mph winds pushed drives out of bounds and forced players to adapt to different wind directions from what they had practiced in. The course and condition delivered another tight leaderboard with three tied for the lead in FPO and four knotted at the top in MPO.

In a season that has already seen dramatic finishes, it once again came down to hole 18 for both the FPO and MPO fields in the final round of the Disc Golf Pro Tour — Waco Annual Charity Open Presented by Prodigy.

The leaders in both fields were only one stroke ahead of second place at the start of championship Sunday and the MPO field in particular had an unprecedented number of players within striking distance of the lead.
