Noah Feil Dominates 2026 US Amateur Disc Golf Championship at Toboggan

The atmosphere was electric as thousands of disc golf enthusiasts gathered for the 2026 United States Amateur Disc Golf Championship (USADGC) on Saturday, June . This major event showcased thrilling competition across all levels, with standout performances emerging from the challenging 18-hole layout at Toboggan.

The spotlight primarily shone on Noah Feil of Colorado. Entering Sunday's final round, Feil held a commanding four-shot lead over his competitors. This significant advantage came after an impressive performance through two rounds: he started Friday with an 8-under-par score and followed it up with another strong effort, carding 4-under on Saturday. His overall score across these two rounds was a remarkable minus-12.

What made Feil's performance particularly noteworthy? Despite the cooler conditions and higher winds experienced on Saturday compared to Friday's opener, he maintained his focus. Crucially, throughout both days of play at Toboggan, Feil has only recorded two bogies in 36 holes (roughly equivalent to two rounds). This is a testament to his exceptional accuracy under pressure, boasting by far the fewest blemishes on the leader board.

The course itself presents a stern test for competitors. Located in Milford, Michigan, Toboggan features significant elevation changes which are a constant challenge regardless of the player's skill level. The teepad configurations add another layer of complexity; they range from concrete surfaces to what can be termed blue and gold pads (described by DGCR as 'red' and 'blue', though these labels might not fully capture their appearance). Some shorter teepads lack proper signage, requiring players familiar with the course to navigate carefully.

Feil secured his position atop the leaderboard through a combination of aggressive play and precise shot selection. His closing birdie on the final hole (hole 18) was achieved by successfully throwing an Ascent Disc into its basket (officially referred to as an Ascent Circle in source notes). This finish capped off what has been described as one of his best rounds of the event.

The championship saw other notable contenders join Feil at the top of Sunday's leaderboard. Both Bryce Brinson and Jackson Yoder achieved 5-under rounds on Saturday, propelling them onto the final card for the day. Brinson moved up three spots to solo second place, while Yoder climbed eight positions from his previous standing.

Adam Monn finished tied with Yoder at 6-under for the tournament after two rounds. He was six strokes behind Feil and is set to compete in Sunday's final four alongside Jackson Yoder. Ashton Good delivered an outstanding performance on Saturday, shooting a 5-under round (source says 6-under) but likely meant slightly different total score context. This single-round effort saw him leap 46 spots to reach the solo ninth position overall.

The event highlighted significant movement among competitors throughout both days of play at Toboggan. Other substantial jumps included Henry Schlabach moving up 17 spots and Kadin Kauffman climbing 17 spots himself, though Kauffman is currently tied for a lower position (T23).

As the tournament heads into its final round, attention remains fixed on Noah Feil's dominant four-stroke lead. Competitors will need to navigate the demanding course conditions at Toboggan with sharp precision if they hope to challenge the leader or capture his spot in the top three finishes.

For those unfamiliar with the venue, DiscGolf.buzz clarifies that this is not a links-style golf course but disc golf played on metal baskets (chainstars) located within a park setting. The specific course details and basket types contribute significantly to the unique challenges faced by players throughout the tournament.
