The 2022 PDGA Junior Disc Golf World Championships from Peoria, Illinois, are taking center stage as top players in the mj-18 division navigate the semi-final round. Henry Bence out of Texas initially takes the lead, but a series of slips on holes 8 and 9 allows Elkin to gain momentum. With all four players vying for a spot in the final nine, tension is palpable. The action unfolds at hole number 10, where a 284-foot par-3 demands precision from Axel Olson and Andrew Philip. Henry must regroup after two errant throws, while Ilkin seizes an opportunity to gain ground. The challenging 11th hole over water presents its own set of obstacles, with players like Axel and Henry navigating tight spaces and tricky layouts. Will the top contenders maintain their momentum, or will a single mistake prove costly?
