West Coast Swing Continues with OTB Open in Stockton, California
Date Published
The West Coast swing of the Disc Golf Pro Tour continues this weekend with the OTB Open presented by MVP Discs Sports in Stockton, California. The event marks a return to Swenson Park, where the course has undergone significant changes since its debut last year as the San Francisco Open.
The 2022 edition of the OTB Open features a completely re-designed layout that utilizes the entire park, taking advantage of large-growth trees and water carries. The MPO course has expanded by 250 feet to 11,727 feet, while the FPO layout has dropped 350 feet to 9,678 feet.
Last year's event saw Eagle McMahon dominate the men's field, winning wire-to-wire with a four-stroke victory over James Conrad and Anthony Barela. In the women's division, Paige Pierce edged out Catrina Allen in a closely contested battle, ultimately securing a one-stroke win.
Meanwhile, on the Silver Series / A-Tier circuit, Gannon Buhr claimed his first win of the season at the Santa Cruz Masters Cup. Sarah Hokom also added to her trophy case with a second Masters Cup title.
Fans can catch all the action from the OTB Open this weekend through live video coverage on the Disc Golf Network (DGN) and YouTube. The DGN is a subscription-based platform offering exclusive content, including post-produced tournament coverage, touring pro interviews, and more. Active PDGA members receive a 50% discount on their subscription.
For those unable to attend in person, the final round of both divisions will be simulcast for free on the DGPT YouTube channel on Sunday, May 22. Additionally, a press conference featuring select players will take place from 2-4 p.m. PT on Thursday, live on the DGPT's YouTube channel.
The OTB Open is just one stop in the West Coast swing of events, which kicked off with the Santa Cruz Masters Cup last weekend. With big drives and electric action guaranteed, disc golf fans are in for a treat as the season heats up.
