Brathwaite and Feldberg Secure Divisional Doubles Win at PDGA Pro Masters Disc Golf World Championship

The stage was set for an exciting competition at the 2021 PDGA Pro Master Disc Golf World Championship, with Philo Brathwaite making his debut in the Masters division. Joining forces with David Feldberg, a seasoned competitor, they kicked off the event on Saturday at Harmon Hills Disc Golf Course with a bang – taking home the win in the Divisional Doubles MP40 division.

It wasn't an easy path to victory for Brathwaite and Feldberg, however. After the first round, they found themselves one shot out of the lead, placing them on the chase card. But the duo didn't let this setback deter them, drawing energy from each other in the modified alternate shot second round to surge ahead with a four-stroke lead.

Their impressive scorecard of 55 not only topped the round by three strokes but also marked a pivotal moment for Brathwaite as he began his week in the Masters field. Feldberg, on the other hand, celebrated his fourth-straight divisional doubles title at Masters Worlds. Their win set a strong tone for the rest of the championship.

Other teams made their mark throughout the day, with notable victories coming from various divisions. In FP40, Pam Reineke and Sandy Gast dominated, securing an eight-stroke lead over Donna Barr and Cher Kitchings. Andy Ritter and Roger Reyes shared the lead after 18 holes in MP50 before emerging as champions with a five-shot win.

In other age-based divisions, Mike Ward and Bill Rohe claimed a six-shot victory in MP60, while Wayne Zink and Jay Gobrecht cruised to an 11-shot win in MP65. With the action resuming on Sunday and the World Championship kicking off on Tuesday, these wins will undoubtedly fuel the competitive spirit of all participants.

As the championship progresses, fans can expect even more thrilling matches and upsets, pushing players to their limits. The 2021 PDGA Pro Master Disc Golf World Championship is shaping up to be an unforgettable event, filled with exceptional skill, sportsmanship, and camaraderie among competitors.
