If the young Finn stays on his trajectory, I don’t think this will be the last battle between him and Gannon. I think Niklas has the highest ceiling of the non-Simonic Europeans.
This may have rattled him a bit, and that’s a shame because he was calm and confident all week long. Late in the final round, he “doinked” a close putt off the top band. Niklas was close to the lead the entire tournament, before falling behind on hole 17 during the final round. Väinö Mäkelä, Linus Carlsson, and Albert Tamm have had their moments in the sun, but this week it was 20-year-old Niklas Anttila’s turn. Other than Simon, however, no European male has consistently threatened for the win. One of the highlights of this season has been the regular addition of European players. “You’re intruding on what’s mine and you’re taking up my time.” Think about this: 23 different players found themselves in the top 10 at the end of at least one of the days! Remember when Double G and Ezra Robinson were in the mix? Who could forget learning that Jake Monn wasn’t 35 (he’s 17!) and has probably only been able to shave for three years? Where did Nate Sexton come from? In the words of disc golf hall of famer Sun Tzu, “In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity.” 4. It was a treat to watch the madness of the MPO leaderboard throughout the round as players shot up, fell off, and shot back up again. A 5-stroke lead with two holes to go? That’s nothing. Any player can triple bogey at any given time. But you can’t deny it-USDGC always delivers excitement. Sure, you might think Winthrop Gold is gimmicky. “And now I’m stuck in the the web you’re spinning. On the Nick and Matt Show this week, Catrina said that she considers it a major. Congrats on winning another maj-ermm…whatever. What really impressed me, however, was her confidence on the putting green. She credited her boyfriend, Austin Hannum, for taking the time to help her fix her swing. Over the last four events, she went 11th, 11th, 24th, 13th. Lately, however, something had been noticeably off with her throws. And, while not dominant, she did finish in the top 10 in 17 of her first 18 events of the year. The fact that she came out firing with her new discs made it seem like it would be a season of domination from Cat. She won the first event of the year, her opening tournament with her new sponsor, DGA.

#The man who knew too little disc series#
It was the first Elite Series or Major win for Buhr, but this doesn’t feel like a one-time thing. I would have put money on Gannon to hit the putt from anywhere within a hundred feet…because that’s how he had been putting all day. Not again! Somehow, when Gannon arrived, the disc was much closer than it had appeared to be-not that it would have mattered if he did actually slide off the back. Gannon threw the upshot and it appeared to slide right past the pin and over the ledge on the backside of the green. On the final hole of USDGC, Gannon came face-to-face with the opportunity for final hole redemption, and I found a nice full-circle story for me to write about. You know what happened next-playoffs, sand trap, head in hands, Gannon falls short. There, in a similar situation, Gannon threw a great but ever so slightly too aggressive upshot that slid just past the pin, out of bounds. I wonder if the memory of hole 18 at the Las Vegas Challenge was running through his mind. After a safe drive, it was clear what he needed to do to win: execute a successful upshot and drop in for birdie. Gannon Buhr took the outright lead heading into the final hole of the USDGC. “You think that we connect-that the chemistry’s correct.” In my opinion, these are the top 10 storylines of the 2022 United States Disc Golf Championship and Throw Pink Women’s Disc Golf Championship. laden fairways that the world’s best compete for one of the most important majors of the year-as well as the same exact tournament, except it’s just an A-tier. On these hallowed grounds, “mozzarella stick” means something more than a mid-tier hors d’oeuvre: it’s part of the local flora.
