Round One

Thursday Crowd Brings Sunday Energy 

The vibes are high, the fans are here in numbers, and the party is just getting started at the 2025 United States Disc Golf Championship and Throw Pink Championship. Thursday brought one of the biggest opening-day crowds we’ve ever seen. Fans lounged under the giant new pavilion, grabbed food and drinks, played the spectator courses, watched DGN on the big screen, and followed their favorite athletes around a course that looks more pristine and punishing than ever. Innova is proud to be presenting the event for the 27th year — and with multiple players in striking position, day one was a success on our end from all angles.

Anneli: Cool. Confident. In Contention.

Estonian rising star Anneli Tõugjas-Männiste sits in solo 2nd after a blistering -5 opener, rated 1023. She carded nine birdies on the day, highlighted by a 136-foot throw-in on the notoriously tight Hole 4. With five DGPT Top 10s this season — including a 3rd-place finish at the Turku Open — Anneli’s lead card appearance tomorrow is no fluke. And with how cool and collected she played today’s round, she seems in a headspace to keep the momentum rolling.

Ohn Right Where She Needs to Be

World Champion Ohn Scoggins is tied for 6th place — the same position she held after Round 1 at Worlds. She shot an even par opening round, kept together by a strong C1 putting performance. She finished 2nd at Throw Pink last year and with the heater she has been on since winning Worlds, there is a good chance she’ll start climbing the leaderboard in the coming rounds.

Henna Hits Fairway, Eyes Podium

Henna Blomroos joins Ohn in the T6 spot at even par, leading the field in Fairway Hits. She has two podium finishes at this event over the past three seasons. With her trademark control off the tee and her solid putting in today’s round, this could be her year to make a run for the title.

Jen’s Front 9 Fire

Jennifer Allen is in solo 10th at +1 after going 5-under through her first 10 holes. She led the field in Parked percentage, with an impressive 5 parked holes on the day. With Winthrop’s ability to swing scores quickly, Jen is absolutely still in the mix. If she channels today’s front-nine heat, she could be a factor.

The Calm Before the Charge

Calvin Heimburg shot -4 in Round 1 and sits in a tie for 12th. He didn’t miss a C1 putt all day, and if you remember last year’s -13 final round, you know better than to count him out. This is classic Vinny — start steady, build momentum, strike when it matters most.
