Thrilling Finish Looms as World Disc Golf Champions Emerge
Date Published
As the last day of the 2014 PDGA Professional Disc Golf World Championships presented by Keen unfolds, excitement is building in Portland. The semifinals and finals taking place today promise to be one of the most electrifying events in the history of disc golf, with numerous divisions teetering on the edge of dramatic finishes.
At Blue Lake, a battle royal is brewing in the Masters division between Ken Climo, already a 13-time Pro Worlds champion, and Barry Schultz, a three-time World Champion. The two disc golf legends have been locked in a tight contest all week, with Climo clinging to his lead by a mere one or two strokes at times.
Meanwhile, Paul McBeth, the reigning champion from 2012 and 2013, is tantalizingly close to achieving a historic triple crown, but will need to produce a masterclass performance to leapfrog current leader Paul Ulibarri in the Open division. Nate Doss is also in contention for his fourth Pro Worlds title since 2009.
In the Open Women's division, Catrina Allen has taken an early lead, but Paige Pierce, a two-time Women's World Champion, and Ragna Bydegård, a rising star from Sweden, are hot on her heels. A thrilling contest is also shaping up in the Masters Women's division, where numerous competitors are separated by less than five strokes.
Throughout the day, disc golf fans can follow live coverage of the semifinals and finals at Blue Lake via DiscGolfPlanet, with live scoring available on pdgalive.com. The finish will be a nail-biting conclusion to an event that has seen some of the most incredible rounds in disc golf history, including yesterday's 13-under-par display by Paul Ulibarri.
The stage is set for a truly unforgettable day at the PDGA World Championships, with a massive gallery expected to witness the culmination of what promises to be one of the closest and most intense competitions ever.
