Lehi Crossroads

adjusts headset in the swamp humidity The sponsors keep calling this a "pact." I call it a contract signed in brine and bad judgment, but here we are at Dragonfly for Week 2 of the Lehi Crossroads saga—sixteen souls, a brine storm brewing, and a course that chews up hope like gumbo roux.

Craig Bennett Drains the Swamp 🏆

If the Deadlands have a favorite underdog story, it's Craig Bennett walking out of the wetlands with a 949-rated -2 and a win that feels like it belongs in a different script. Fifty-three points above his player rating. Let me repeat that: fifty-three. The man went from 15th place in Week 1 to division champion, shooting a clean -2 on a layout that punished anyone who got cute with their lines. Nate Dale tried to mount a back-nine charge—he finished Even, good enough for 2nd—but Bennett's breakout was the kind of performance that makes the Deadlands take notice. The swamp doesn't hand out mercy, but it does occasionally recognize when someone's earned their seat at the crossroads.

RPA: A Three-Way Deadlock 🔒

Three players. One score. Zero breathing room. Austin Lott, Philip Romney, and Houston Finch all finished at -5 with matching 979 ratings, and here's where it gets interesting: all three birdied the final hole to secure the tie. That's not coincidence; that's the frontier testing who can close. Lott's performance was especially sharp—he shot 57 points above his PDGA rating after a rough Week 1, climbing from 9th to the top of the leaderboard in one round. Finch, meanwhile, successfully defended the Noose Protocol despite not winning outright, the spectral rope coiling tighter around his bag but refusing to claim him. The "AllIn" mode means full reshuffle next week, so nobody's safe—but for now, the rope holds.

RAH: Mueller's Rough Ride

Sometimes winning doesn't look pretty. Dillon Mueller took 1st place in RAH with a +4, which is the disc golf equivalent of stumbling across the finish line first because everyone else tripped harder. His 887-rated round landed 37 points below his player rating, a reminder that Dragonfly's technical lines and marshy edges don't care about your personal average. But first place is first place, and the Deadlands don't ask how you survived—just that you did.

RAF: A New Sheriff in Pool B

First time playing the league. First place in RAF. First claim on the Thorn Covenant bag tag. Isaac Robbins walked into the Lehi Crossroads as a stranger and walked out wearing Pool B's crown, shooting +14 to take the division title. The Thorn Covenant now belongs to a new sheriff, and the frontier's already wondering how long he'll keep it. Robbins also earned the "Charitable Champion" achievement by donating part of his winnings—proving that even in a cursed swamp, some folks still remember there's a world beyond the brine.

Jennings Finds the Holy Grail 🎯

If you're going to throw a shot that changes your week, make it count. Nicholas Jennings aced Hole 4—375 feet of technical swamp corridor—and walked away with a $306.94 ace pot that probably covered his league fees for the next decade. The man shot Even for the round, which was good for 9th place in RPA, but nobody remembers your finishing position when you're holding a check for three hundred bucks. The Super Ace Pot now sits at $3,020, swelling like the tide and waiting for its next victim.

Super Ace Pot Swells Like the Tide

Beyond Jennings' clutch ace, the payout structure kept the drama rolling. The Super Ace Pot climbed to $3,020, a growing treasure that's becoming the stuff of Deadlands legend. Isaac Robbins and Philip Romney both earned "Charitable Champion" status, donating portions of their winnings to prove that even in a cutthroat frontier, generosity has its place.

Oetker's Skins Massacre

Kenneth Oetker turned the skins game into a one-man show, winning 10 skins for a clean $50.00. The highlight? Scooping a 10-skin carryover on Hole 16 that left the rest of the card staring at their scorecards wondering what just happened. Austin Lott and Craig Bennett each took 4 skins for $20.00, but this was Oetker's rodeo. Total skins exchanged: $90.00. Total dignity lost by the competition: immeasurable.

Noose Protocol Survives Another Day

The bag tag spotlight belongs to Houston Finch, who defended the Noose Protocol despite the three-way tie in RPA. The spectral rope—woven from the last desperate grabs of those culled before him—pulses with crimson light around his bag, a reminder that the frontier's enforcement mechanism is always watching. Finch earned the "Still Standing" achievement by holding Rank 1 through Week 2, while Isaac Robbins claimed the Thorn Covenant in Pool B with the "King of the Hill" achievement. But here's the kicker: "AllIn" mode means full reshuffle next week. Every tag is up for grabs. The noose tightens for everyone.

The Pact is Sealed, Varmints 🔒

Week 2 closed the chapter on the Lehi Crossroads with contracts signed in swamp water and the leaderboard taking shape. The Pact is Sealed—the top half of the leaderboard now carries immunity from the Drowning mechanic, but the bottom half knows the culling is coming. Next week, the Deadlands reshuffle every tag, every position, every assumption. The brine storm's still brewing, the spectral ledger's still recording, and somewhere in the fog, a voice is whispering shortcuts on Sycamore holes. Don't trust it. Trust your scorecard.

Another drifter rides into the sunset... of the eliminated rankings.
