🏆 TOURNAMENT RECAPS

Dynamic Discs Open

2023-dgpt-dynamic-discs-open-results

Parker Welck won his first-ever Disc Golf Pro Tour event. His best finish in a DGPT event prior to DDO was 23rd at OTB just one month ago.

Hailey King placed first in the FPO division. Hailey and Holyn finished the 18th hole tied at -19. They started their playoff on the infamous island of Hole 16. Hailey was able to land her drive within circle one, while Holyn left hers short and went OB. A missed throw-in from the dropzone by Holyn left Hailey with a less stressful putt for the birdie. This was her second time claiming first place at DDO.

🌶️ Spicy Shots

  • The top five MPO shot and FPO shots

  • Check out Ella Hansen rolling over OB and Chris Clemons off the sponsor wall

  • Gannon Buhr for 3 from downtown

  • Parker Welck moves into solo first place with an eagle and 3-stroke swing

Konopiste Open

📋 RULE OF THE DAY

D. A player may elect at any time to take optional relief by declaring their intention to the group. The lie may then be relocated by marking a new lie which is farther from the target and is on the line of play. One penalty throw is added to the player's score.
