The Burchfield Park courses at the United States Women’s Disc Golf Championship gave us four different layouts and a variety of terrains. Rivers Edge was full of tasty woods lines, while Renegades Trail, especially from the short tees, meant ace runs and long putts. We broke down some of the best shots of the event by course, highlights courtesy of Jomez Pro who was in attendance providing all the round-by-round video coverage.
Rivers Edge
The most impressive shot of the weekend came from champ Paige Pierce, who tossed in a monster throw-in eagle on hole 14 in round one.2018 US Women’s DG Championships | R1 | Paige Pierce hole 14 eagle

There were more traditional putts on the course as well, such as Hailey King in round one, who actually couldn’t see the basket here.

Kristin Tattar, Vanessa Van Dyken, and Pierce had a couple more putts worth pointing out.
