2014 United States Disc Golf Championship

[Plankeye]

Troy widden, Terry gallops, Brad Ramsey and cam Todd shoot a 64 to get in.

There is a playoff between 3 people for the 5th spot.

Phil Arthur won the last spot

Sounds like there was some good competition for the play in spots. Looking forward to the real competition starting up. I will cheer for JohnE.

 

[heartman]

I think Lizotte will be in contention, but get some unfortunate skips OB

... and my pick is: Nybo

You can always count on Winthrop Gold for some competitive excitement.
These are great additions to the field!

With Feldberg dropping out, will they have 6 available spots instead of 5?

 

[Rob Martin]

Any idea what Paige or Catrina shot?

They had to qualify, and weren't already in the Open flight?

Edit....

Just saw the list of Open flight competitors and they weren't on there. That is completely bogus. Cat is World Champ and Paige has owned FPO this year.

In the past I don't think changes to the field the weeks leading up impacted the amount let in on qualifying day, I think it is always just 5 people.

They had the Woman's US Championships last week for a reason. They wouldn't be close to competetive at the USDGC.

They wouldn't be the first women to compete and won't be the last. Technically, well over half the men's field won't be close to competitive either.

 

[Halcón]

^ Exactly. Not inviting the current champ is an insult.

 

[Travis1010]

I like that the USDGC is the one tournament where only the best compete. Should all the other division's champions be invited too? Everyone has a chance to qualify if they are good enough.

 

[blackcatsmith]

I know Brinster won it last year, and Doss has been in the hunt all year and might be due, not to mention I'll most probably find myself rooting for either Wysocki or Lizotte, or both at some point(call it a habit), but picking against McBeth just seems counterintuitive.

 

[Cgkdisc]

Pros in all divisions who played the same course layouts as Open in regional qualifiers were able to earn a spot in the USDGC by shooting one of the best five total scores among those who had yet to qualify. It appears none of the women shot well enough during the qualifying events.

[RistoS]

That's a foot fault. Lucky for him it wasn't caught.

Official USDGC Forecast

Sunny and 80 the next 3 days, with almost zero wind. Morning lows around 60.

Friday's high will be in the mid-70s and a system will move through, bringing an increased chance of rain and storms throughout the day.

Saturday will be sunny and a little cooler with highs around 72 and a little more breezy, with dewpoints dropping throughout the day to make for an absolutely beautiful finish.

What's the source of that figure? I like how they have all those facts (or guesses) condensed onto one timeline.

That's the new wunderground -- rolled out a couple-three months ago. It's pretty awesome.
