Dramatic Finish to Worlds

The 2012 Disc Golf World Championships have come to a close with 24 World Champions crowned on Saturday, July 21. The Hornet’s Nest was the setting for this year’s finals, with an unprecedented number of players taking part in an incredibly successful event.

Tight Races, Familiar Faces

The Men’s Open division remains almost anyone’s to win at the end of the day on Friday, just before the semi-finals. After the 5th round at Nevin Park this morning, Paul McBeth and Michael Johansen were tied for first place at 53-under par, with Cale Leiviska was at one behind and Ricky Wysocki at just one behind him, making for one of the closest Disc Golf Worlds in history.

Worlds Leaders

Michael Johansen has been the talk of the town in Charlotte, and he managed to hold onto to his lead in the Men’s Open division Thursday, currently sitting at 44-under par, but Paul McBeth is now just one throw behind him while Ricky Wysocki and Cale Leiviska are right on his heels at 40-under par. Just behind them is Will Schusterick at 39-under par.

Almost Perfect

There is little doubt that the 2012 Disc Golf World Championships will be yet another memorable event, with players, family and friends talking about the best moments for years and even decades to come. In the Men’s Open division, just one of the pros to become part of that history, Michael Johansen, had an especially remarkable day on Wednesday, July 18, at Bradford Park.

Star Potential

While disc golf pros may be the most talked about players in the sport, the junior divisions have some incredible players who could very well be the disc golf stars of the next generation. On Wednesday, I met many of these amazing disc golfers out on the course at Elon Park, including a few who have really been making waves.
