Estonia's Taaniel Mehine finished second at the PDGA Junior Disc Golf World Championships a year ago.
This year — and on Thursday in particular — he's put himself in position to take the crown back home with him.
Mehine shot the hot round by two strokes in MJ12 — a 984-rated effort — to pull 13 strokes ahead in Tulsa with two days to go. Mehine had an eagle and went 6-down on the back nine. On the tournament, he's averaging 984.
More than 450 players hit the courses throughout the Tulsa area on Tuesday to kick off the week and, if the opening round was any indication, buckle up.
