Ken Climo Dominates Atlanta Open with Record-Breaking Performance
Date Published
Ken Climo has proven once again why he is one of the most formidable players in disc golf history. The 41-year-old dominated the field at the 2009 Atlanta Open presented by RE/MAX NT, a four-throw victory that left his competitors in awe. This win marks Climo's first National Tour title since the Golden State Classic in May 2007.
Climo's success can be attributed to a combination of factors, including his precision long game and preparation for the event. He brought a friend as caddy, which proved to be an astute decision given the challenging weather conditions. His knowledge of the course, gained from his victory at the 2008 Atlanta Open Super Tour, also played a significant role in his win.
However, it's not just Climo's technical skills that have made him a champion. He has also re-committed himself to disc golf this year, acknowledging that he didn't practice as much as he used to. Instead, he focused on playing mentally strong and avoiding mistakes. This strategy paid off as he wired the field through all four rounds.
Climo's win is not only a testament to his skills but also a statement of intent for the 2009 season. He plans to play in as many National Tour events as possible this year, which will undoubtedly make him a force to be reckoned with on the course.
In the women's Open division, Val Jenkins was unstoppable, securing her fourth PDGA title of the season. Her performance was impressive, with two 1000-rated rounds that showcased her exceptional skills. Jenkins' dominance in disc golf is undeniable, and she continues to improve each week, making her a top contender for future events.
The Atlanta Open has once again demonstrated its reputation as one of the most exciting and competitive disc golf tournaments in the world. With Climo's record-breaking performance and Jenkins' dominating win in the women's division, it's clear that both players are here to stay at the top of their game.
