ARP | 2023 Portland Open | R2B9 | Chase Card | Pierce : Cox : Mertsch : Korver | DGPT Elite +
Watch as the top players in disc golf compete in the 2023 Portland Open presented by Latitude 64, the first-ever Disc Golf Pro Tour Elite Plus event. The tournament takes place at the West course, but the final day's action will move to the East course. Conor O'Reilly and Holly Finley break down the leaderboard, where Kristen Tatar leads, followed closely by Juliana Korver. Holton is proving to be a challenging hole, with its mandatory right-side line and uphill approach through tree trunks. Juliana's impressive play is highlighted, as she navigates obstacles like thick grass and low ceilings. Meanwhile, Paige Pierce makes the Mandocarta but struggles to get past it, while Rebecca Cox takes a skipping route outside of the hole. The players will need to strategize for the final day to make the cut and move on to the East course.
Watch Pierce, Cox, Mertsch & Korver in action at the 2023 Portland Open's R2B9, a high-level DGPT Elite + event.
