The 2023 Portland Open presented by Latitude 64 is a stop on the Disc Golf Pro Tour, featuring some of the sport's top players, including Paige Pierce, Elena Hohn, and Hannah Nguyen. The event takes place at Glendoveer Golf Course, which offers two challenging courses: the West Course for the first two days and the East Course after the cut. Erika Stinchcomb and Rebecca Cox provide commentary as the players navigate the demanding terrain, including the tricky 10th hole on the West Course. On this hole, a par-4, 584-foot stretch with a mandatory line on the left, players must carefully consider their approach to avoid pinching off their upshot. The commentators discuss the importance of positioning and shot selection, as well as the impact of wind direction on the disc's flight.
