Back-to-Back Champions Crowned at PDGA Pro Masters Disc Golf World Championships

The PDGA Pro Masters Disc Golf World Championships have come to a close, with several players emerging victorious in their respective age groups. One of the most notable stories is Dave Feldberg's dominance in the Masters 40+ division, as he claimed his second consecutive title and third overall world championship.

Feldberg, who had a plan going into the tournament, stuck to it throughout the week. Despite stiff competition from Barry Schultz, JohnE McCray, and other top players, Feldberg never gave them a chance to take the lead. He led the event for all but three of the 97 holes and was instrumental in shaping the course's strategy.

"I was scared of the courses," Feldberg admitted, "but I chopped off a lot of shots and conceded holes when I had to." His approach paid off as he carded only nine bogeys throughout the entire tournament. In the final round, Feldberg turned in an impressive 5-under par 25, further solidifying his lead.

With only five holes remaining, Feldberg's advantage was insurmountable, and Schultz's attempt to close the gap came up short. Feldberg's win marked a remarkable achievement, as he becomes one of the most successful players in PDGA history.

In the Masters 60+ division, Dave Greenwell emerged victorious, adding another title to his impressive resume. Greenwell, who had an eight-stroke lead after the opening round, maintained his dominance throughout the tournament. Despite Gregg Hosfeld's valiant efforts to chip away at Greenwell's advantage, the latter held firm.

Greenwell's win marked a milestone in his career, as he became one of just five PDGA members with double-digit world titles. This year's victory was his 10th overall, cementing his place among the all-time greats in disc golf.

Other notable champions emerged in their respective age groups. Mitch McClellen took down the Masters 55+ title without a significant lead after day one, while Patrick Brown fell short of defending his title in the Masters 50+ division. Ron Convers and Kevin Babbit battled it out for second place, with Convers ultimately taking home the gold.

The PDGA Pro Masters Disc Golf World Championships have once again showcased the world's top players in their respective age groups. As the disc golf community looks forward to next year's tournament, one thing is clear: Feldberg and Greenwell have set a high standard for future champions to follow.
