2023 Discmania 303 Open | R2, B9 | Gossage, Hanson, Rovere, Cournoyer | Gatekeeper
Watch as Nick Hansen and Joel Freeman bring you coverage of the 2023 Discmania 303 Open at Badlands in Denver, Colorado. This PBGA eight-tier event takes place on a single layout over the entire property, offering a unique challenge for players. Joining them are Aaron Gossage, Joe Riviere, Justin Canoy, and others as they compete to top the leaderboard. Aaron Gossage sets the pace with five under par after the front nine, but it's anyone's game as other competitors struggle with their shots. Notably, Joe Riviere faces a tree-filled hole that requires precision play, while Justin Canoy must navigate an out-of-bounds spot with his signature spike shot. With Colorado's open landscapes providing a breezeier alternative to typical forested courses, the focus shifts to mastering wind management and dialing in overstable plastic. Will any of these players be able to close the gap and take the lead?
