OTB Open Returns to Swenson Park with Revamped Course and Star-Studded Field
Date Published
The Elite Series returns to Stockton, California this weekend for the 2022 OTB Open presented by MVP Discs Sports at Swenson Park. Last year's event was a huge success, but this year's course has undergone a complete redesign, taking advantage of the entire park's layout. The Men's Professional (MPO) course now spans 11,727 feet and checks in at par 66, while the Women's Professional (FPO) course is 9,678 feet and par 68.
In 2021, Eagle McMahon dominated the MPO field with a four-stroke victory over James Conrad and Anthony Barela. On the FPO side, Paige Pierce edged out Catrina Allen in a closely contested battle, taking home a one-stroke win. The duo cleared the rest of the field by nine and eight strokes respectively.
The West Coast swing got underway last weekend at the Santa Cruz Masters Cup, where Gannon Buhr claimed his first win of the season on the historic DeLaVega course. Meanwhile, Sarah Hokom became a two-time Masters Cup champion with a win from the chase card.
As the OTB Open gets underway, fans can expect big drives, stunning scenery, and electric action in the California sun. For those unable to attend in person, live video coverage will be available on the Disc Golf Network (DGN) or YouTube. The DGN is a subscription-based platform offering post-produced coverage of select disc golf tournaments, exclusive shows, and more.
