A More Experienced Crowd
The 2013 PDGA Major schedule continues on this weekend in Burlington, NC. Cedarock Park will play host to the world’s best Master’s aged players at the 2013 Tim Selinske United States Masters Championships.
A Nice Twist
Team Twisted Flyer didn’t necessarily set out to be first, but it wants to make sure it makes an impact that lasts. The disc golf team founded by Joe Rotan made the biggest single-day team launch in our sport’s history with 38 members on March 16, 2012.
Major Bidders
The locations of two Major events for the 2015 calendar for the PDGA were up for bid throughout the off season. The 2015 Tim Selinske US Masters Championship and the 2015 Amateur World Championships were looking for a home. Bids poured in over the winter break and several cities proposed to host these prestigious disc golf events. Although many intriguing bids were submitted, only two cities would be able to call themselves a host of a PDGA major in 2015.
Down to the Wire
Reigning World Champ Paul McBeth hit a 35 foot (10.5 meter) birdie putt on the 72nd hole to win the Latitude 64 Copenhagen Open - The Major this afternoon. And while McBeth’s 13 down 54 tied the Valbyparken course record, his victory was also in part due to misfortune suffered by Oklahoma leftie Devan Owens.
The Plot Thickens
Oklahoma southpaw Devan Owens shot a Valbyparken course record 13 down 54, unofficially rated at 1071, to vault into a 3 stroke lead heading into Sunday’s final round at the Latitude 64 Copenhagen Open – the Major. Moving to the front during the 9 hole stretch from #5 to #13 when he counted 8 birds, Devan sealed the deal when he birdied 17 and 18 to finish.
Stars and Stripes
While the host Danish flag is red and white, it’s the red, white and blue of Team USA that dominates the leader boards after 36 holes at the Latitude 64 Copenhagen Open – the Major.
Schuster-risk's Pay Off
Round 1 at Valbyparken and the Latitude 64 Copenhagen Open saw some players’ discs soar while others were brought down to earth as they struggled to negotiate the OB lines and the gaps between the groves of oak and birch trees.
Denmark It On the Calendar
