Yes. There are plenty of events won by raw score from multiple rounds, among the entire field. Bravo for something a bit different.

Anybody have a link/time the finals go live today?
Weather is rainy here and the forecast calls for 1" to 3 " for the day, good day to watch live DGPT Finals!
Thanks Brutus!
I was reading back a few pages when I posted my query. Question answered.

You might be disappointed about Augusta National as a DG course. However, the area where the Par-3 course is (at Augusta National) might could be transformed for DG...

I'm guessing the golf course is maximizing profit for it's share holders.
I'm not a fan of using ball golf courses either, but this course was a better disc golf challenge than some others we've seen. I liked that greens and sand traps weren't OB, and that a fair number of tee shots required hitting a gap and/or missing trees. Somewhere in between playing a standard golf course and a public park DG course.

Agree. This course was/is better than some of the mind-numbingly boring wide open courses where they just bomb hyzers within very artificial rope-delineated bounds. There appeared to be some thought put into it rather than just perching a basket behind a sand bunker.
The play in the last round was kind of sloppy. Maybe the rain was a part of that... Or not.
Will Schusterick did pretty well as a commentator. He'll get better with more experience, as well...
(Spoiler alert). What did Paige and Steve get into it about on her last putt? Paige sure seems irritated after the round was over, almost walked away from the post-tourney interview with Terry. And Catrina showed class and good sportsmanship. Gave Paige and the others hugs.

I was following the scores on UDisc. Can't wait to see the video of how this went down. 13 birdies and Paul came in second. Three double bogies...WTH?!
Congrats to Ricky on the win and to Paul and Simon for making it interesting.

Since we're complaining, I would like to see the step putt go away. Please go away. Carry on.

He can't do both? Like another couple of USDGC Champions do?
Per UltiworldDG's Twitter,
"Really awkward moment before that putt, as Steve Dodge walked up to Pierce and asked if she was going for it."

Paige canned the last putt too. Big time.

I wish I could have felt this way, but I got about half way through the first round (JohnE's card) and I just couldn't take any more. The ace was cool, but that course just wasn't doing a thing for me personally.

Who thought it was a good idea giving spectators golf carts? through the first 9 or 10 holes we heard Terry mention crowd movement during putts (not all golf cart related) and a few golf carts were awfully close to rollers.

I was kind of feeling the same way at first, but after watching more and getting a better understanding of the course, I think it's one of the better golf course conversions, and an above average tournament course in general.
Tuned in for most of the DGPT final today and was real impressed with what I saw. The players were the real show... they were canning circle puts all day long. I really enjoyed listening to Will... he is easy on the ears. Also I enjoyed watching our best rip bombs down the fairways though today they had a hard time keeping them in the middle. Overall I thought it was a great production and also congratulations to Ricky on a great Year.
PS. Ever since I first played on Prodigy baskets I thought they were some of the best catchers in the business and was glad to see them used at this tournament.

I think he wanted her to putt last, as it is more dramatic. Go back and look at Ricky telling Nate to do the same at USDGC.

I'd like to see will playing too, but he was pretty good. His knowledge of tactics and disc movement was quite entertaining.
