Just a brief report on PDGA DG World Championships.
Ken Climos 9 year reign as Disc Golf World Champion came to
an end last Saturday when Ron Russell beat him by 4 shots at
the end of 171 holes of golf and a total of 432 shots. He won
4000 USD
Juliana Bower easily retained her title as Womens World
Champion with a total of 510 shots.
Top non-USA performer was Jesper Lundmark of Sweden in 6th
place. Six other Swedes and one Fin made it to the semi final
round and finished in the top 50. Britain's Simon Luard finished in
152nd place out of 173 finishers in the Open division
The masters division (35+) was won by Jim Oates after a play-off
with Stan McDaniel, they shot 457. The top european player was
me in 34th place out of 97. Just enough to get into the prize
money $102.50. This was my best performance at Worlds and
my score would have placed me 74th in Open division.
Ruth Steele (was Lissaman) was the only european competitor in
the womens division where she finished 20th of 25. She took
second in a distance competition which was organised for the
golfers.
