The disc golf competition at the 12th International World Games reached its climax on Sunday with the placement and medal matches in what proved to be an epic, MPO/FPO Mixed Doubles formatted, competition.
In the Gold Medal match, the USA team of “Missy Gannon Buhr” jumped out to a 4-hole lead after 4 and cruised to the top of the podium, besting Finland’s Eveliina Salonen and Nestori Tukhanen, 5 and 3.
For the first time in 24 years, disc golf will be a medal sport at The World Games.
Set for August 7-17 in Chengdu, China, 16 countries with one male and one female player will compete at the highest level of international competition for non-Olympic sports.
