Paige Pierce has barely had time to bask in the glory of her record-breaking 17th PDGA Major win at the European Open before heading back into competition mode. The disc golf star is gearing up to take on the Toboggan course in Milford, Michigan, for the Discraft Great Lakes Open (DGLO), a key stop on the PDGA Elite Series schedule.


Pierce's whirlwind schedule has seen her compete in Finland just days ago and now quickly transition back stateside. The 2022 European Open champion is not alone in her efforts; many top players have been busy securing wins at various A-Tier events across the country. Gannon Buhr and Hanna Huynh took down victories at the Clash at the Canyons VI, while Matt Orum claimed his win at home during the Mid Summer Meltdown 7.


The Discraft Great Lakes Open has a rich history, with its first iteration dating back to 1983. The event has seen numerous champions emerge over the years, including Kristin Tattar's victory in 2021. This year's competition promises to be fierce, as top players converge on the Toboggan course.


The 2022 version of the Toboggan boasts a challenging layout, with dramatic elevation changes and new holes. With an impressive total of 8,955 feet for FPO and 10,763 feet for MPO, this course demands skill, strategy, and physical endurance from its competitors. The absence of two-time defending champion Eagle McMahon has opened up opportunities for other players to claim the top spot.


As the field gathers at Toboggan, they'll be looking forward to a grueling competition that will test their skills and push them to new heights. With live coverage available through the Disc Golf Network (DGN) and the PDGA's YouTube channel, fans can catch all the action from Friday to Sunday. The final round of play will be simulcast free on the DGN for both divisions.


The Discraft Great Lakes Open marks a crucial milestone in the journey towards the 2022 PDGA Professional Disc Golf World Championships, which begin on August 31. As players compete for the top spot at DGLO, they'll be one step closer to securing their place among the world's best disc golfers.
