By Patty Putts for Mangy Coyote Media The Easter Bunny was busy hiding eggs throughout Riverside that aided in the disc golf action, each prize containing a mulligan for use at the Inaugural Patty Putts Easter Eggstravaganza on April 8 in Swift Current. The teams were out shooting low despite warm, breezy afternoon conditions that produced wet footing at Riverside Park as the 2023 winter snowpack dissipated. Coming out on top of the field, we had Isaac Ritskes and Mathew Vaughan shooting a solid -11, edging out Team Deadly Arlen Nickel and Jeri-Ann Brownbridge who shot a -9. They were followed by Dustin Usher and his son, tied with the threesome of Patty Putts, Caleb Laverdiere and Brady Seib. Both teams shot -8. Everyone found some eggs and spent their mulligans how they deemed fit, but no one made a mulligan more worth it then tournament host, Patty Putts. Standing on Hole 13 not happy with where his Champ Rhyno landed, Patty declared his team was using a mulligan egg. He reached for...
Barela, Jones, McMahan take charge on LVC’s Day 2 Yesterday’s co-leader Anthony Barela set the pace in Round 2 of the Las Vegas Challenge presented by Innova on Friday. With weather conditions still cool but calmer than the previous day in Henderson, NV, Barela shared the hot round of the day with a minus-12, spiking him to the top of the leaderboard at minus-20. The six-year pro relied on long, accurate drives to overcome some putting hiccups within 30 feet. The short-misses didn’t seem to cost him, as he played bogey free golf. Meanwhile, Kevin Jones maintained his hold on second place, putting together a round of minus-10, leaving him at minus-17. Jones signed a scorecard free of bogey blemishes, as did Eagle McMahan, who also took hot round honours with a minus-12 on the day. He now sits third alongside yesterday’s co-leader Scott Withers. They are followed by Andrew Marwede at minus-14, while Calvin Heimberg and Luke Samson are seven strokes of the pace at minus-13. Canadian...
Cat Allen destroys Wildhorse for commanding lead at LVC Disc Golf Pro Tour veteran Catrina Allen hammered both the Wildhorse DGC and the field to take full control of the 2023 Las Vegas Challenge in Henderson, NV on Friday. Allen walked into Round 2 with a one stroke advantage over Rebecca Cox, but dominated the second day on the Wildhorse track to climb six strokes ahead at minus-13. Allen went seven down on the front that included a five birds, an eagle and a bogey. She further staked her claim with another eagle on Hole 10 and closing with four more birdies. Cox had trouble with control through the middle holes, bagging four birdies but adding four bogeys and a double-bogey to fall to even on the tournament. Taking her place was Finnish competitor Henna Blomroos, who claimed the second seed with Missy Gannon by shooting minus-six on the day. Gannon flipped to the sub-par side of the standings by nailing a minus-seven that included birdies on seven back-nine holes. Besides Allen’s po...
