Liz Carr Clinches Thrilling Victory at Beaver State Fling
Date Published
At the 2010 Beaver State Fling, disc golf sensation Liz Carr delivered a stunning performance to claim her second PDGA National Tour title of the season. The thrilling conclusion came on Sunday's final round, where Carr showcased her determination and skill, overcoming a six-throw deficit on the 16th hole to stay in contention.
As Carr navigated the Milo McIver East Course, she faced stiff competition from Des Reading, who held a one-throw advantage, as well as Paige Pierce, the talented teenager from Texas. Pierce's impressive display had her at the top of the leaderboard after Friday's round with a three-throw cushion. However, Reading soon took over, only to yield to Carr on Saturday.
The dynamic trio continued to jockey for position on Sunday, with Reading once again rising to the top of the leader board. Meanwhile, Pierce and Carr remained hot on their heels, refusing to concede. In a stunning turn of events, Carr regrouped after her 16th hole setback, securing crucial up-and-downs on the next two holes.
Carr's victory margin was just one throw over Pierce, who had been touted as a rising star in disc golf. The 2010 PDGA Tour has witnessed an impressive array of talent from Texas, with Liz Lopez capturing the 2008 Rookie of the Year award and Bradley Williams taking Ken Climo into a playoff at the Masters Cup NT event.
Val Jenkins, praising Pierce's perseverance, noted that she had been frustrated by tight courses but would thrive in Portland. Indeed, the Oregon course suited Pierce's game perfectly, as she showcased her exceptional skills alongside Carr and Reading.
In an interesting contrast, Liz Carr attributes her success to playing less frequently, highlighting the importance of strategic approach and rest for her body. With this win, Carr will strengthen her position at the top of the Woodchuck Drive for the Championship National Tour points series.
The PDGA National Tour is set to visit Minnesota next, with the Minnesota Majestic scheduled for June 25-27 in the Twin Cities.
