Young Guns Shine Bright at DGPT Ledgestone Open

The DGPT Ledgestone Open presented by Merrell was an event to remember, with two young players making a lasting impact on the disc golf world. Cole Redalen, from Oregon, made his mark on the sport by winning his first Elite Series title at Lake Eureka in the afternoon. This victory marked a significant milestone for Redalen, as it's the first time he's taken home a win above a B-Tier level.

Meanwhile, Missy Gannon was dominating the competition at Northwood Black, where she successfully defended her title from last year. Gannon started slowly on Sunday but quickly regained momentum after Ella Hansen cut into her four-stroke lead near the midway point of the round. The turning point came when Gannon collected four birdies in a row on holes 9 to 13, cementing her position at the top of the leaderboard.

With a commanding five-stroke lead, Gannon wrapped up the Ledgestone title for the second consecutive year, finishing with a 4-under-par round. She was joined on the podium by Ohn Scoggins in second place and Sarah Hokom, who tied with Ella Hansen for third position.

On the other side of the course, Redalen showcased his skills, taking an eight-stroke lead into Sunday's action. He continued to impress throughout the front nine, but it was during the back nine that he truly shone, slamming five consecutive birdies from holes 13 to 17 to seal his victory.

The competition was fierce, with Calvin Heimburg pushing Redalen for the top spot, and Ricky Wysocki close behind in third. The young gun's dominant performance earned him a well-deserved first-place finish and marked an exciting milestone in his disc golf career.

As the DGPT Elite+ series continues to heat up, fans are eagerly anticipating the next event on the schedule – the LWS Open at Idlewild presented by Dynamic Discs & The Nati. This highly anticipated tournament promises to bring even more intensity and excitement to the sport.
