Championship Sunday Looms for Disc Golfers at Smugglers' Notch

The stage is set for a thrilling conclusion to the 2023 PDGA Professional Disc Golf World Championships presented by L.L.Bean. Championship Sunday will bring the competition full circle at Smugglers' Notch in Vermont, where only one player can emerge victorious. Isaac Robinson has taken the reins going into the final day of play, building on his impressive performance with a 12-under round at Fox Run Meadows to secure a three-stroke lead.

The pressure is mounting for Robinson, who is seeking his second PDGA Major title and first PDGA World Championship. However, he won't be alone in his pursuit of glory. A talented group of competitors has closed the gap, including Evan Scott, who climbed an impressive seven spots into solo second place with a 12-under round of his own on Saturday.

Calvin Heimburg's bid for the top spot faltered when he carded a double-bogey on the demanding 18th hole at Fox Run Meadows. His 11-under effort has him tied with Kyle Klein and Anthony Barela in third place, a mere four strokes behind Robinson. Eagle McMahon, meanwhile, fired an impressive 14-under round to catapult himself onto the chase card six strokes back.

The likes of Chris Dickerson (sixth) and Matt Orum (tied for seventh) will also be gunning for the top spot, adding to the excitement and unpredictability of Championship Sunday. With only 18 holes remaining, anything can happen as these skilled disc golfers vie for the coveted title.
