Todd Takes Down McBeth in Thrilling GBO Finale

The sun came out to shine on Emporia Country Club for the final round of the 2016 Glass Blown Open (GBO), but it was far from a straightforward victory. Cam Todd and Paul McBeth began the day as co-leaders, with several top players breathing down their necks. As the tournament wore on, it became clear that this would be a battle for the ages.

Todd and McBeth traded blows throughout the round, each trying to outmaneuver the other in perfect weather conditions. The tension was palpable as they navigated the course's challenging holes, with both players making incredible shots and equally impressive mistakes.

As the lead card played through the final holes, it seemed that the pendulum would swing in either direction at any moment. Wysocki made a late push to close the gap, but Todd and McBeth remained focused on their own showdown.

In the end, it was Cam Todd who emerged victorious, winning by just one stroke over Paul McBeth. The 42-year-old veteran had been quiet for a while on the PDGA National Tour, but his last victory in 2004 must have given him confidence to take on the best players in the world once again.

The finish was nothing short of spectacular, with Todd's tap-in birdie on the final hole sealing the deal. McBeth, however, let out a long shot to save birdie, which unfortunately sailed wide left. The crowd gasped in collective disappointment as Cam Todd walked up to his disc and tossed a putter to right under the basket.

Todd's win marked an incredible come-from-behind victory, one that will be remembered for years to come. As the largest disc golf tournament in history drew to a close, it was clear that this event would be etched in the memories of all who attended – nearly 1200 players and spectators alike.

With the Glass Blown Open now behind them, focus turns to the upcoming PDGA Professional Disc Golf World Championships in Emporia this August. Will we see more thrilling battles like this one? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: the world of disc golf has never been more electrifying than it was at the 2016 Glass Blown Open.
