Disc Golf Legends Emerge as Champions in Thrilling Tim Selinske US Masters Weekend

The weekend-long celebration of legendary disc golfer Tim Selinske's life came to a close on Sunday with an impressive display of skill and determination from the world's top players. The 14 champions crowned at Oak Grove Regional Park in Stockton, California, showcased their prowess in the challenging safari-style layout.

Tee times began at 9:00am PDT, with groups teeing off every eight minutes throughout the morning and afternoon. The final round's unique course design combined holes from both the Gold and Purple courses, as well as custom-designed holes specifically for the finals. One of these was a 900-foot par 5 that provided an exciting conclusion to each player's journey.

As the players navigated the challenging terrain, some notable performances stood out. Donald Parker, a 2016 Advanced Legends World Champion, secured his second PDGA Major win of the year by claiming the title in one division. Paul Wright also made headlines by taking home the Advanced Senior Grandmasters title with a one-stroke victory.

However, it was TJ Goodwin who stole the show in the Advanced Masters division. The three-way tie for the lead going into the final round between TJ, Jeff Milburn, and Noah Zeller made for thrilling spectatorship. TJ's remarkable drive on hole 17 left him perfectly positioned for a 20-foot putt, which he confidently sank to take the lead. His subsequent accurate throws secured his first PDGA Major victory.

Other notable winners included Jim Schultz, who held off Stan Hubbard by just two strokes in the Sr. Grandmasters division, and Mike Ward, who claimed the Grandmasters title with a four-stroke margin over Roger Reyes. Carrie "Berl" Berlogar dominated the Masters Women's division, edging out Anni Kreml despite the latter's impressive closing efforts.

In one of the most anticipated matches, Patrick Brown proved his mettle as the top-rated player in the event, maintaining an average unofficial rating of 1035 throughout three rounds prior to the finals. Although he encountered some setbacks on holes 15 and 16, he finished with a birdie on 17 and tapped in for par on 18 to claim his first PDGA Major title.

A huge thank you is owed to Tournament Director Criag "Krash" Gustafson and the entire tournament staff, volunteers, and the City of Stockton for creating an unforgettable experience. The list of champions from this year's Tim Selinske US Masters can be found below:
