Castruita Dominance Continues as Aria Wins National Amateur Disc Golf Tour Championship

Aria Castruita has cemented her position as one of the top players in amateur disc golf, securing back-to-back wins at the National Amateur Disc Golf Tour (NADGT) Championship. This latest victory, which saw Aria take home the title by a 12-stroke margin, is just another milestone in an impressive career that's already yielded multiple championships.

The Castruita family has become synonymous with excellence in disc golf, and this latest win adds to their growing trophy case. Aria's sisters, Melody and Haley, have also made a name for themselves in the sport, with Melody being the reigning back-to-back PDGA FJ18 World Champion and USWDGC Champion in Advanced, and Haley having won the 2019 FJ12 World Championship.

The family's passion for disc golf is evident, not just in their individual successes but also in their support for each other. Aria credited her sisters with keeping her positive during a grueling tournament, which saw her gain an impressive 17.02 strokes tee-to-green over the final two rounds at the MetCenter. Her putting was equally impressive, with nearly 10 strokes gained over the same period.

The NADGT National Championship is designed to provide players with a platform to transition into professional ranks, and Aria has announced that she plans to take this next step in her career. This latest win will undoubtedly boost her confidence as she prepares for the Texas Hill Country Classic on November 6-7, where both Aria and Melody will compete in the FPO division.

Other notable performances at the tournament included Britt Sawyer, who finished second after a strong Sunday round, and Lydia Lyons, who took third place. The top five finishers were rounded out by Rachel Melo and Jackie Grammer.

For Aria Castruita, this latest win is just one part of an impressive family legacy in disc golf. With 55 PDGA wins and four PDGA World Championships between them, the Castruitas continue to inspire young players and push the boundaries of what's possible in the sport.
