MOUNT SAVAGE — David Warder and Tim Farris combined for 24 birdies and tied atop the Saturday Morning Tag League Week 6 standings with a 10 under par 64 on Saturday at Mile Lane Disc Golf Course in Mount Savage.

Warder, 32, of Frostburg, finished with 13 birdies, with led the field of 13 players. Farris, 27, of Wiley Ford, W.Va., tallied 11 birdies but threw for par on No. 24 while Warder threw for a rare double bogey on a local disc golf course.

Shania Farris, 26, of Wiley Ford, finished third with a score of 65. League rules permit females and players under the age of 18 to play all 24 holes on the course from the short tees if they choose to do so.

Gordon Cox, 49, of Hagerstown, led a three-way tie for fourth with nine birdies and an ace on No. 6 short — his first during a league round. Keith Raynor, 47, of Vale Summit, and Scott Mallery, 55, of Mount Savage, kept pace with Cox on the scorecard as all three finished with a 66. The mark was Cox’s best on the tournament layout by three strokes. Raynor and Mallery each finished with 11 birdies.

Richard Smith, 50, of Hagerstown, placed seventh with score of 67, which included 10 birdies. It was Smith’s best mark on the 24-basket layout by two strokes. Noah Spradlin, 24, of Frostburg, matched his personal best and placed eighth with a 72. Tim Lick, 32, of Cumberland, was the last player in the field to finish under par (73). Kevin Spradlin, 44, of Frostburg, placed 10th with a 75 and Brian Padovini, 42, of Frostburg, placed 11th with a 77. Rick Perkins, 62, of Cumberland, was 12th with a 79 and Evan Padovini, 11, of Frostburg, rounded out the 13-player field with a 93. Padovini chose to play the first 12 holes from the short tees and the back 12 from the long tees. His splits reflect the more difficult effort on the back 12 (53) compared to the front 12 (40).

Cox’s ace was the fourth in SMTL history. The league began 14 months ago and the 2022 season came and went without a single ace. Kevin Spradlin (long 3) threw the first ace in SMTL history in Week 2. Then Raynor (short 3) and Perkins (short 10) threw aces on the same Saturday morning in Week 5.
