The pressure was on as the best players in the world returned to Winthrop Arena for Round 2 of the 2023 United States Disc Golf Championship.

While most players were looking to climb the leaderboard, the lead card made up of four players with no PDGA Major wins — including one player in his first Elite Series/Major lead card appearance — fought to stay on top.

Wild Day at Winthrop

Eight players are within three strokes of the lead after a wild day to kick off the 25th running of the United States Disc Golf Championship, the final PDGA Major of 2023.

And we’ve got a few fresh faces at the top of the leaderboard.

Joel Freeman took off on the back nine, sparked by an eagle on the 10th to take a one-stroke lead as the only player to hit double digits on the USDGC layout at Winthrop University.

The field came out swinging at Winthrop to open the 2023 Throw Pink Women’s Disc Golf Championship on Thursday.

Nineteen players finished under par, the best collective round in the short history of the TPWDGC and one of a few records broken as a whole, according to StatMando.

Winthrop Awaits

As the 2023 season enters the final stretch, the best of the best in disc golf has once again made its way to Rock Hill, South Carolina for the 2023 United States Disc Golf Championship and Throw Pink Women’s Championship.

The USDGC is the final PDGA Pro Major of the year while the TPWDGC is a PDGA A-Tier, and both tournaments will take place simultaneously at the Winthrop Arena. While most other tournaments offer divisions based on gender or age, the USDGC combines all players who qualify into a single division.

Co-Founder and Event Director Jonathan Poole knows he probably forgot to mention SOMETHING about this week's 25th running of the United States Disc Golf Championships in Rock Hill, SC. But, when there's so much to talk about, that'll happen. Grant and Jen are pretty sure he covered every exciting detail. And afterward, stay for a visit from Calixto Garcia of PDGA Europe.
