Texas Disc Golf Duo Soars to Victory in Amateur World Doubles Championship
Date Published
The sun finally broke through the clouds on Sunday morning, casting a warm glow over the beautiful Selah Ranch complex in Talco, Texas, where the Amateur World Doubles Championship was wrapping up its 25th edition. The previous day's thunderstorms had threatened to cancel the tournament, but the organizers and players alike were determined to make the most of it.
For Dylan Marez (#35169) and Zach Doggett (#34312), also known as Aced and Confused, this championship run was nothing new. The duo from Dripping Springs, Texas, has a proven track record of performing well on the challenging courses at Selah Ranch and Trey Texas Ranch, even in less-than-ideal weather conditions. Last year's event was marred by severe storms, but Aced and Confused still managed to finish in third place.
This time around, they were more determined than ever to bring home the title. As they entered the final round of Alternate Shot, tied with the North Dallas Baggers after 14 holes, it seemed like a nail-biter was brewing. However, the duo's experience and skill eventually paid off on the crucial 15th hole – a notoriously long and difficult par-5.
Aced and Confused seized the opportunity to pull ahead by carding an impressive birdie, while their opponents suffered an unfortunate double bogey. The lead was too great for the North Dallas Baggers to recover from, even with Aced and Confused's slight slip-up on the final hole. In the end, the duo emerged victorious, thanks in part to their own hard work and determination.
The organizers of the tournament, Straight Line Discs, deserve special recognition for their tireless efforts in ensuring that the event ran smoothly despite the weather challenges. Their dedication and positivity kept everyone's spirits high throughout the weekend.
