Pinnacle's Storm

Week 3 of the ElevateUT Altitude Series saw the River Bottoms course come alive with remarkable performances and surprising twists. Kai Goldstein emerged as the day's standout performer, shooting an impressive +1 and soaring 52 points above his rating - the highest differential of the event. The Masters division showcased their experience with William Tesch and Christopher Norman both carding solid -3 rounds, while Houston Finch led the Open division with a clean -4.

The course proved challenging for many, but moments of brilliance shone through. Leif Smith not only captured the day's CTP prize of $93 but also demonstrated exceptional control throughout his round, finishing +3 and an impressive 41 points above his rating. The MA1 division saw tight competition with Bobby Schneck (-2), Spencer Livsey (-2), and Brandon Lewis (-3) all delivering strong performances as we approach the series midpoint.

As we look ahead to Week 4, the season's storylines continue to develop. Several players are building momentum, particularly in the MA3 division where both Goldstein and Blake Mendenhall showed significant rating improvements. With seven weeks remaining, these emerging performances could signal exciting shifts in the overall series standings.
