Virginia Polkinghorne and Ryan Monn both turned in the hot rounds of the day in their divisions as Championship Saturday arrives in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
For the first time this week, Ryan Monn is on top of the MA1 leaderboard after a clean, 9-under round at Fallasburg, but the field is right behind him.
Inclement weather impacted the Grand Rapids, Michigan area but, after a few delays, the skies cleared and the 400-plus players hit the course to begin their quest for a PDGA World Championship.
