The bar has been set at Nevin Park.

Bradley Williams opened the Disc Golf Pro Tour Championship presented by Barbasol with a 7-under par round to lead the four players who will move on to the quarterfinals.

Williams found a rhythm quickly with seven birdies in the first eight holes around a double bogey, which encapsulates the DGPT version of Nevin Park: big numbers can loom large in the tight woods.

Drew Gibson and Mason Ford followed with 6-under rounds and Niklas Anttila, who qualified for the DGPT Championship down the stretch of the season and comes in off a strong showing at the USDGC this past week, went 5-under to move on to Friday’s quarterfinal round.

No player went bogey-free and just Ford and Anttila had a single miscue on their scorecard in the 16-player field.

There will be no Cinderalla story from the first day this season as Jeremy Koling and Thomas Gilbert, who earned their spot at Wednesday’s play-in round, were both eliminated.

With their tickets punched, the four will join the 9-13 seeds today as the payouts and the pressure pick up at Nevin.

Scores will reset and the top four will extend their season into the weekend in Charlotte.

MPO action begins at 2:30 p.m. ET on DiscGolfNetwork.com

Six Must-Play Disc Golf Courses

Image
A Few of Our Favorites  With over 15,000 disc golf courses worldwide, and over five new ones opening daily, there are far more must-play courses than we could ever list. But here are some that we’d like to highlight. These locations are among the most scenic and well-designed disc golf courses in the world.  The Winthrop Arena: The Winthrop Arena is as mentally demanding as a course can get. Located on Winthrop University’s campus in Rock Hill, South Carolina, the course presents a combination of narrow fairways, strategically-placed OBs, and treacherous water hazards. Features like the long walk to the tournament-making (or breaking) hole 17, make Winthrop as much a battle against your own nerves as it is a battle against the course.  Winthrop has hosted the USDGC since the tournament’s inception in 1999. Celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, Winthrop has had decades to develop into the legendary disc golf destination that it has become. In that time, the course h...
