Thrilling Finishes Mark Championship Saturday at PDGA Masters Disc Golf World Championships

The excitement reached a fever pitch on Saturday afternoon as the 2025 PDGA Masters Disc Golf World Championships came to a thrilling conclusion. Eight courses across the Twin Cities of Minnesota played host to an electrifying day of competition, with 26 divisions vying for top honors.

In one of the most dramatic finishes, Paul Oman's ace on Hole 10 sparked a blistering stretch at Blue Ribbon Pines, guaranteeing him a playoff spot or outright win. Meanwhile, Dutch Napier birdied the final three holes, including the treacherous island hole on 18, sending MP40 into extra holes. Both players made par on Hole 1 and went head-to-head on 18, with Oman emerging clutch in the biggest moment of the day.

The women's competition saw Ohn Scoggins secure her fifth consecutive PDGA Masters Worlds Championship, pulling away from Jennifer Allen down the stretch after a week-long battle for supremacy. The two had exchanged the lead nearly every day, making it clear that this year's title was anyone's to claim.

In the MA40 division, where the margin between leaders was never more than one stroke all week, Ben Banbury birdied the 18th hole to force a playoff with Travis Moser. After jumping from the chase card and leading at the clubhouse, Moser ultimately fell short as Banbury took down the win on the third playoff hole.

The MA50 division saw Tim Harikkala overcome a two-stroke deficit to emerge victorious over Ronnie Denig in the first playoff hole. This result capped off an action-packed day that featured tight finishes throughout multiple divisions.

Eight other championships concluded with a margin of three strokes or fewer between winners and runners-up, highlighting the competitiveness of this year's field. In MP50, Kevin Babbit capitalized on his tie with Barry Schultz to secure a seven-stroke victory.
