Date Published
The excitement is building as the 2015 PDGA Professional Disc Golf World Championships are just around the corner, with less than 24 hours to go until the tournament kicks off in full swing. Before the chaos of the Pro Worlds tournament itself takes over, it's time to congratulate our new world champions!
Mixed Doubles, a highly anticipated event, took center stage at Deer Lakes on Saturday and Sunday. This year's format featured a "Bring-Your-Own-Partner" approach, allowing teams to enjoy good old-fashioned fun together. The course, with its challenging layout of over 8,650 feet from the blue tees, proved to be an exciting test for all participants.
In Round 1, teams competed in a modified version of Best Shot Doubles, where both partners could throw from the tee, but not consecutively. Melodie Bailey and Martin Hendel set the bar high with a sizzling score of 53, 13 under par, closely followed by Shasta Criss and Shauna Buzzingham, who finished one stroke behind at 54.
As the competition heated up in Round 2, teams switched to Alternate Shot, where mistakes could not be overcome. Paige Pierce and Jeremy Koling dominated the course, finishing bogey-free with an incredible 10 birdies, leaving no doubt about their championship status. With a score of 56, they secured a six-stroke lead over Valarie Jenkins/Nate Doss and Holly Finley/Michael Johansen's impressive 62.
The 2015 Pro Worlds Field Events, held at Moraine State Park on Saturday, showcased the sport in all its glory. The Long Drive Competition drew in spectators eager to witness the biggest arms in disc golf crush drivers. Simon Lizotte's incredible drive of 594 feet left everyone in awe, shattering records and expectations.
However, Dave Feldberg stole the show with his impressive performances across multiple field events. He topped the Putting Competition with a score of 24 out of 54, narrowly edging out Jay Reading. Feldberg continued to dominate in Mini Golf and SkillShot, leaving no room for competition.
Ricky Wyoskci issued an official sweep denial by tying with Dave Feldberg in the Putting Competition, setting up an exciting playoff at the Players Picnic on Friday evening.
The stage is set for an epic conclusion to the 2015 Pro Worlds. Stay tuned for more thrilling updates and live streaming coverage from DiscGolfPlanet.tv all week long!
