What a finish! Ben Callaway of Iowa had a one shot lead going into Sunday's final round, and appeared unstoppable as his lead grew during round three. Meanwhile Team Discraft's Ben Askren of AZ was mounting a 1026-rated attempt to catch him from the second card, but would fall short to take 2nd place. Last year's 2nd place finisher Leif Swenson was right behind in 3rd, and Angel Garcia of CA shot a wicked -6 in the 3rd round to take 4th.
Over 1000 photos are posted on the USADGC FB page.
Thanks to all the players, volunteers, staff and presenting sponsor Discraft for once again throwing the most incredible Am championship you'll ever attend!
Wet Start
