Crystalline Clashes and Subterranean Slingers: The Bingham Creek Saga Continues!
Folks, the crystals were singing like a choir of ancient miners today, and the discs were flying like they'd caught the melody! As our intrepid adventurers delved deeper into the mysteries of Bingham Creek, the echoes of their throws reverberated through the caverns, each drive a step closer to the legendary treasure that awaits.
In the MA4 division, the battle was as fierce as a cave-in, with the lead shifting like the currents of an underground river. "We saw a wild ride in MA4, with a whopping 5 lead changes!" Dan Langford, Aaron Lael, and Christian Phelps all took turns at the top, jostling for position like miners vying for the richest vein. In the end, it was Christian Phelps who struck gold, carding an impressive 835-rated 61 (+7) to claim first place. Aaron Lael secured second with an 835-rated 62 (+8), while Dan Langford rounded out the podium, shooting a 793-rated 66 (+12) for third.
Meanwhile, in the MA40 division, Robert Bumgarner was a lone prospector, navigating the course with the steady hand of a seasoned miner. His solid 867-rated 59 (+5) was a testament to his skill and determination, a single lamp illuminating the path ahead.
But it was in the MA1 division where the true magic happened, as Cam Peterson, the chosen champion of the Bronze Fractal, put on a display of disc golf mastery that will be etched into the annals of Bingham Creek legend. Throwing with the precision of a master prospector, each drive a perfect strike into the rich vein of the fairway, Cam dominated with a jaw-dropping 961-rated 50 (-4), outperforming his rating by a staggering 61 points! "Cam and Trevor Hodsdon battled it out, with 2 lead changes between 'em," but in the end, it was Cam who emerged victorious, his connection to the Bronze Fractal growing stronger with every throw.
In the MPO division, Britain Best stood alone, but his performance was nothing short of extraordinary. His CTP shot on Hole #2(White) was like a bolt of pure energy straight from the crystal heart of the mines, a 350-foot rifle shot that kissed the chains and dropped for a birdie. "That CTP shot was as pretty as a polished geode - a thing of beauty that takes your breath away!" Britain finished with a 930-rated 53 (-1), a score that would make any miner proud.
