Through the first two starting flights, 102 players have bagged out of 672 total entries so far. The survivors from all starting flights will combine on Day 2, which is scheduled for Monday, June 27 at noon, at which point they will play ten 60-minute levels before bagging for the third and final day.

Players who were in the field but fell short of the day’s end include Toby Lewis, Chris Moorman, Katie Lindsay, Damian Salas, Thomas Boivin, Cherish Andrews, and Justin Bonomo, although they will still have one more opportunity to bag a stack, as the third and final starting flight will commence on Sunday, June 26 at noon.
