The disc golf world has watch Anthony Barela grow up on the course.

From his PDGA Junior and Amateur World Championships to his dominance on the Elite Series, Barela had his PDGA Major breakthrough on Sunday at the 2025 United States Disc Golf Championship.

Competing with those he grew up watching and idolizing — like Paul McBeth and Ricky Wysocki — Barela had his eyes set on this one, and delivered a sterling performance on the green and in the fairways of Winthrop to become just the 15th different winner in 27 years of the USDGC.

Barela entered with a two-stroke lead, grew it to three strokes through the middle of Championship Sunday and held off McBeth down the daunting stretch for his Major win.

McBeth and Wysocki finished tied for second, Calvin Heimburg finished fourth and Niklas Anttila had the hot round of the day for solo fifth place.
