Lemon Lake's Picture Perfect Finish | Professional Disc Golf Association
Date Published
The highly anticipated final round of the 2013 PDGA Professional Disc Golf World Championships unfolded at Lemon Lake Park in Crown Point, Indiana, with a series of heart-stopping finishes that left spectators on the edge of their seats. The intense competition saw several divisions go down to the wire, with champions emerging from some of the closest battles imaginable.
In the Open Women's division, Valarie Jenkins and Paige Pierce traded leads throughout the first eight holes, leaving the outcome uncertain until the final moment. Jenkins' three-throw lead entering the last hole was erased when she failed to reach the green, allowing Pierce to take control with a perfectly placed drive. Pierce then converted her winning putt, securing the title in dramatic fashion.
The Masters Women's division also witnessed an epic struggle for supremacy between Anni Kreml and Barrett White. The two competitors remained neck-and-neck until the eighth hole, where Kreml faltered and gave White the opportunity to seize the lead. White capitalized on this chance, ultimately emerging victorious by a single throw margin.
While some divisions experienced more straightforward conclusions, with established leaders solidifying their positions, others provided moments of high tension that tested the competitors' mental and physical endurance. The Open Men's division saw Paul McBeth cruise to a comfortable victory, thanks to his consistent play throughout the tournament, which had given him a four-throw lead entering the final round.
As the dust settled on an exhilarating championship event, congratulations were extended to all winners, including Pierce in the Open Women's division and White in the Masters Women's.
