Augusta State Takes Home Top Honors at Collegiate Disc Golf Championships

The 2010 Collegiate Disc Golf National Team Championships came to a close with Augusta State University solidifying its position at the top of the leaderboard. The team played consistently throughout the final round, never threatening their comfortable lead. Jason Lynn's impressive drive on the 400'+ hole was followed by Patrick May's clutch birdie putt on the elevated basket, securing their spot as champions.

The real drama unfolded in the battle for second place between the University of Oregon and Western Illinois University. The two teams were tied going into the final round, with neither able to gain a significant advantage until Oregon hit a huge birdie putt on hole 17, catapulting them ahead by two throws. With only one hole left to play, Oregon played it safe, taking a three on the OB-laden 18th hole and securing second place.

The eight players who accumulated the highest individual singles scores throughout the week were named first-team All-Americans. Western Illinois University took home the doubles championship title after achieving the top team total in the three doubles rounds during the tournament. The University of Oregon claimed the first flight championship, held on a separate course, featuring players not competing on the main event's first team.

The Collegiate Championship has grown significantly since its inception in 2007, expanding from six teams to twenty-four this year. Pete May expects the field to continue growing as the National Collegiate Disc Golf Union gains momentum and awareness about the event increases.
