Date Published
The final event of the 2024 Disc Golf Pro Tour season came to a close with two dominant performances from Holyn Handley and Gannon Buhr. The duo delivered outstanding displays of disc golf prowess, leaving their opponents in awe.
Holyn Handley entered the championship round with a one-stroke lead and maintained her momentum throughout the day. She produced an exceptional final round, carding just one bogey on her way to a 7-under score. This impressive display earned her a three-stroke victory, marking her third Elite Series win of the season.
Gannon Buhr, meanwhile, had enjoyed a sizeable lead going into the final round but faced intense pressure from rivals Ricky Wysocki and Isaac Robinson. Despite being pushed by his competitors, Buhr showed remarkable composure and clutch play to emerge victorious. His stellar scrambling skills were on full display, particularly on Hole 15 when he extricated himself from difficult rough with a par.
Throughout the tournament, both Handley and Buhr demonstrated exceptional accuracy off the tee. Handley led the field in out-of-bounds (OB) rate and fairway hits, while Buhr excelled in scramble rate and strokes gained tee-to-green. Their impressive performances culminated in wins that will be remembered for a long time.
The rest of the podium was filled by Hailey King, who leapt two spots to secure solo second place with a 20-under total, six strokes behind Handley's winning mark. Kristin Tattar rounded out the top three with an impressive score. Meanwhile, Robinson and Wysocki tied for second with a 30-under total, just two strokes shy of Buhr's championship total.
The crowning achievements from Handley and Buhr marked the end of a thrilling season on the Disc Golf Pro Tour. Their victories showcased their incredible skills and highlighted what an electrifying competition it has been throughout the year.
