I dont know how that stat is calculated but I assume its by all participants. If you would look at , lets say, only the top 20 rated players it might be a different story?
Presumably doing so would impact the European Open even further.
I'm always rooting for Anttila, Orum, and Gilbert, but the latter hasn't been finishing great lately.
I thought I had seen Keith win one before, but either way it was a first for Lone Star. Very cool for them.
Do any other manufacturers with a full lineup not have an elite series win?
His 2019 pre-Worlds Mid-America Open victory was pretty high-profile IMO. Especially with how it was a prelude to his great performance at Worlds.I thought I had seen Keith win one before, but either way it was a first for Lone Star. Very cool for them.

Kastaplast, Clash, Mint (depending on your definition of "full" lineup) don't have one that I can recall. Millenium maybe (based on whether or not your count Innova players who use Millenium discs or are partly sponsored by them like Barsby, Calvin, Philo) and maybe Legacy and RPM. Then you've got side manufacturers paired with big ones like Thought Space, Streamline, Axiom, type companies that are semantics over whether you include them or not.
Brinster had major wins in 2004 and 2013, but only joined Millennium in 2014 (sources: PDGA, internet). I would definitely count Calvin though.
(I'm counting wins designated M, NT or ES tier, and A-tier wins identified as Pro Tour.)
Cole Redalen, Anthony Barela and Ezra Aderhold are great players, but just miss a few too many putts when they are in a position to win.
The players that win a lot (Heimburg, Eagle, Buhr, Ricky, Lizotte, et al) just don't miss many putts when they are in a position to win.
I'd love to see Cole Redalen, Anthony Barela or Ezra Aderhold get a win though.
(Barela did win the Challenge at Goat Hill in 2020, but that was a very weak field.)
