Seeking Another Feather in Her Cap
In her career, Ohn Scoggins has earned Disc Golf Pro Tour titles, FP40 Major titles, FPO Major podiums, and more. Even with all that, a Throw Pink win would be high on her list of achievements in the sport if she could pull it off. She is currently five strokes back.

Top Innova Storylines from the USDGC
A Chance at Championship History
Finnish star Väinö Mäkelä is on the final day lead card at the 2024 United States Disc Golf Championship. In a matter of months, Väinö managed to learn his new Innova discs and is now already in contention for disc golf’s most prestigious title. If he wins, he would be the first US Champion from outside the United States. Väino led the field in Fairway Hits in round three.

Can Vinny Mount a Comeback?
Calvin Heimburg isn’t completely out of it yet. He’s in 6th place, 8 strokes off the lead. It will take an heroic effort to win, but a great final round could lead him to a podium finish.
One Round Left
Emerson Keith is one round away from the best USDGC finish of his career. He sits in 10th and led the field in C1 Hits in Regulation in round three.
