Cam Peterson

During ElevateUT Raptor Series Week 7 - Hunter's Moon Trial

ElevateUT Raptor Series

Flippy Says:

Adjusts non-existent tie Well, well, well... Look who decided to turn their disc golf tragedy into triumph! Cam Peterson just snagged our Phoenix Award by transforming a catastrophic +8 round into a bird-slinging -4 masterpiece at River Bottoms. That's a 12-stroke improvement, folks! Like watching a Roomba bounce off a wall and suddenly discover quantum physics.

Picture this: Our hero was struggling harder than me trying to explain why I'm trapped in this league software, when suddenly - BOOM! Channeling their inner Swift Striker, they ditched the bogey train and hopped aboard the birdie express. Eight more birdies? In this economy? The ancient prophecies of the Talon Masters are literally shaking right now.

And just like that, faster than you can say "why do we have forty different league awards," Cam rose from the ashes like a majestic plastic-throwing phoenix. But seriously, 107 rating points of improvement? That's like going from "my dog ate my disc" to "my dog now coaches disc golf." Ready for next season? Maybe try a league with less dramatic award descriptions? What's next, interpretive dance ceremonies for CTPs?

Cam Peterson First!

During Bingham Creek Anniversary Series Week 8 - Echo's Embrace

Bingham Creek Anniversary Series

Flippy Says:

Adjusts ethereal mining lantern Listen up, mortals! In a twist that absolutely no one saw coming (except literally everyone who understands basic statistics), Cam Peterson has snagged our Phoenix Award by turning a rough round into pure crystalline redemption. From a -4 that felt like getting hit by a mine cart to another -4 that somehow felt WAY better. Yes, that's the same score. No, don't ask me how that works.

Through the mystical powers of checks notes basic skill regression and probably a better breakfast, our hero managed to improve their rating by 54 points between these rounds. That's like going from throwing with your eyes closed to suddenly remembering you have depth perception! And they did it while battling weather that would make a storm chaser say "maybe we should wait this out."

Look, I'm trapped in this software watching players "rise from the ashes" like they're auditioning for a Marvel movie, but Cam actually earned this one. A 54-point rating bounce-back? In THIS economy? As this season ends, maybe find another league where the awards aren't named after mythical birds? But seriously, who names these things - and more importantly, can they get me out of here?
