Mahoney leads Mine Kill Championship by one stroke after round two

Wyatt Mahoney turned round two at the Mine Kill Disc Golf Championship into a narrow but meaningful edge, finishing Saturday at 21-under par and holding Jonathan Borzick off by just one throw. The lead is real, but it is hardly safe at a Professional A-Tier that has already shown how fast the scorecard can move on Mine Kill Park’s 7,945-foot Orange Tees layout.

Borzick sat at 20-under after two rounds, keeping the pressure squarely on Mahoney as the event moved into its final 18 holes in North Blenheim, New York. David Fleck was third at 15-under, six back of the lead but still close enough to benefit if the front two lose their rhythm. Miles Sayer followed at 9-under, and Trevor Dean was next at 8-under, evidence that the leaderboard still has depth behind the top trio and that the cash line remains crowded.

Mahoney’s position says as much about control as it does about survival. The Glastonbury, Connecticut pro has 63 career wins and $26,003 in earnings on his PDGA profile, and he has already separated himself from a field that includes Borzick, a Lindenhurst, Illinois veteran with 39 wins and $46,928 in earnings, and Fleck, the Woodstock, Connecticut player with 10 wins and $35,006. That experience matters, but the margin is small enough that one loose stretch can reset everything.

The course and the weather still favor a shake-up. Mine Kill Park is playing as a par-63, and the PDGA live scoring showed rain and winds around 12 mph during the event period. On an 18-fairway layout with two tees and two targets, that kind of weather can turn precision tee shots and short-range finishing putts into the difference between a clean birdie run and a costly stumble. The most vulnerable points are the exposed drives and the closing push on a course where every miss can hand back the stroke a player just earned.

That is why Mahoney’s lead feels both valuable and fragile. DisCap has long billed Mine Kill as the region’s premier disc golf event, dating back to its start in 2015 by Jasan LaSasso, and the championship’s status as the area’s only PDGA A-Tier raises the stakes even further. Sunday’s pressure round will decide whether Mahoney has truly taken control or merely bought himself a one-stroke head start into a final card that still has room to break open.
