Touted as one of the last stops in the disc golf amateur ranks, the United States Amateur Disc Golf Championships has helped spark the professional careers of a number of players in its 20-year history.

Add Robert Burridge to that list.

Burridge capped a wire-to-wire victory on Sunday at the famed Toboggan course in Milford, Michigan to bring home a PDGA Amateur Major title.

Toboggan is a test of disc golf skill in more ways than one. It demands accuracy, control and distance.

The physical demands of the elevation-filled course are just as important.

After a slow start to the second round of the United States Amateur Disc Golf Championship, a PDGA Amateur Major, first-round leader Robert Burridge took off on the back half, finishing strong to build a four-stroke lead heading into Championship Sunday in Milford, Michigan.

It’s not easy entering a tournament as the highest-rated player in the field and a target on your back.

Robert Burridge held up to the task.

Burridge went 6-down through 13 holes on the way to a 7-under 56 to build a three-stroke lead after the opening round of the 2021 United States Amateur Disc Golf Championships, a PDGA Amateur Major, on Friday at the famed Toboggan Course in Milford, Michigan.

Burridge, from Houston, Texas, is the highest-rated player in the 156-player Advanced field.

USADGC to Continue to Prepare the Next Generation

Twenty years ago, the United States Amateur Disc Golf Championship was created to test the next generation of disc golf professionals.

A look at the previous winners, especially in recent years, has proven that the goal has been accomplished.

Now, it's time to see who is next.

Over 150 players from throughout the country will tackle the famed Toboggan Course in Milford, Michigan for the 20th running of the USADGC, a PDGA Amateur Major Event, beginning Friday.

2021 United States Amateur Championships Rescheduled for June 11-13

The 2021 United States Amateur Disc Golf Championship has been rescheduled for June 11-13, one week later than previously announced.

The move was made in response to scheduling conflicts with park maintenance crews and was necessary to ensure that all required course prep work could be completed before competitors arrive.

Tournament Directors from surrounding events, including several A-tiers which come within the mileage restrictions specified in the PDGA Tour Standards, signed-off on the change before it was finalized this week.
