Elite Disc Golfers Converge on Emporia for Dynamic Discs Open

The Disc Golf Pro Tour is set to arrive in Emporia, Kansas, this weekend for the highly anticipated Dynamic Discs Open. This event marks the third-straight week that the world's top disc golfers have gathered to compete, and it promises to be one of the most exciting tournaments of the season.

For the first two rounds, the elite field will tackle the Supreme 18 at Jones Park, a brand-new championship-level course designed by PDGA World Champion Eric McCabe. This challenging layout spans over 10,762 feet for the men's professional division and 9,414 feet for the women's professional division, with par ratings of 65 and 67, respectively.

The Supreme 18 is not just any ordinary course; it was specifically built to test every aspect of a player's game. With tight obstacles, landing zones, and unpredictable wind patterns, the course demands precision, control, and strategy from its competitors. As a result, players will need to be at the top of their game if they hope to emerge victorious.

The Dynamic Discs Open is also serving as a preview and test run for the 2022 PDGA Professional Disc Golf World Championships, which will return to Emporia in late August. This event marks an important milestone in the lead-up to the world championships, allowing players to fine-tune their skills and gain valuable experience on this demanding course.

The past few weeks have seen some incredible performances from disc golf's elite. Two weeks ago, Chris Dickerson and Paige Pierce claimed the first PDGA Major titles of 2022 with dramatic finishes at the International Disc Golf Center. A week later, Calvin Heimburg won the DGPT – Jonesboro Open in a thrilling playoff against Paul McBeth on the FPO side, Kristin Tattar dominated the field for her first Elite Series win of the year.

Last year's event saw Hailey King and Paul McBeth each cruise to a six-stroke victory. However, with loaded fields and new faces constantly entering the mix, it will take four-straight elite rounds to claim the trophy and gain a strong foothold in the conversation for the 2022 PDGA Pro World Championships.

Fans can catch all the action live on the Disc Golf Network (DGN), which offers post-produced coverage of select disc golf tournaments as well as exclusive shows, touring pro interview series, podcasts, and more.
