Houghton's men's team had the first tee time on Wednesday morning. Oklahoma State's women's team of Masey Brannon and Markayla Clayton had a 40-foot putt on their first hole. Missouri's Noah Free had the pressure of a title defense.

Everything worked out well for the early leaders on opening day of the 2023 College Disc Golf National Championship.

Houghton's early tee time ended by setting a blistering pace in the Men's Division I team event with a 16-under opening round, a start that would not be matched the rest of the day in the 64-team field.

It's bigger than ever.

With over 700 players representing over 80 schools across the country, the 2023 College Disc Golf National Championship kicks off Wednesday for four days of competition at North Cove Leisure Club in Marion, North Carolina.

M-I-Z.

Z-O-U.

You could hear that chant echoing Saturday throughout the North Cove Disc Golf Club, home of the 2022 College Disc Golf National Championship.

Twice.

A few hours after the Missouri women completed a dominant win, the Tiger men followed suite with a victory of their own, catching fire down the stretch to leave Marion, North Carolina the same way they came in, No. 1, and complete the sweep.

It’s going to be a thrilling race to the top spot in College Disc Golf on Saturday.

The final day arrives at the 2022 College Disc Golf National Championship with tight races in both the men’s and women’s Division I team standings.

At the conclusion of Saturday, two teams from the record-breaking field at North Cove Disc Golf Club in Marion, North Carolina will emerge as champions and take bragging rights home to the respective universities.

The next few days for Robert Burridge are going to be a whirlwind.

It’s going to start with him celebrating his individual title at the College Disc Golf National Championship and then finishing up the week in Marion, North Carolina with his teammates.

Collin Thompson and his Illinois State teammates saw an Instagram post for a qualifier event for the College Disc Golf National Championship.

A week later, they officially formed a club and hit the road.

That led to Marion, North Carolina this week at the 2022 CDGNC and, after Thursday’s opening round of the Men’s Division I singles event, Thompson finds himself atop the leader board.

On the drive over from Arkansas, Whitney Brown was nervous.

That’s because she had a title to defend at the College Disc Golf National Championship against a bigger and stronger field.

After a nail-biting finish and a playoff, Brown, representing Southern Arkansas University, will make the drive back home with more hardware.

The record-setting field at the College Disc Golf National Championship was evident from the start on Wednesday.

Over 500 competitors gathered and were introduced during an energy-filled opening ceremony, complete with a message from veteran Paul Ulibarri, and then the action at the three-course complex at North Cove Disc Golf Club in Marion, North Carolina got started in a big way.

The journey to the College Disc Golf National Championship goes beyond strong play on the course.

It starts with organization and team building, literally.

Seventy-five universities from around the country will be represented this week at North Cove Disc Golf Club for the 2022 CDGNC, the first PDGA Major of the year.

Teams must not only build a competitive core of players, but must also go through the process of working with their universities to organize, grow and represent the school. This takes strong leadership on the part of the student athletes.

Four rounds weren't enough to claim the 2021 College Disc Golf National Championship crown in a tight race from the start in the Men's Division I flight.

But, luckily for the Georgia Bulldogs, the final putt came down to a competitor with National Championship experience.

A day after claiming the DI individual title for Georgia, Davis York nailed a putt in a sudden-death playoff in the rain to lift the Bulldogs to the overall team title over Missouri S&T.

Everything about the 2021 edition of the CDGNC is bigger than ever.
