Blaine Kinkel is the 2009 United States Champion
The Charleston, SC player led from start to finish as took the 2nd of the trifecta that is his 2009 disc golfing goal: to win Bowling Green, AmNats and Worlds.
"This has been without a doubt the finest tournament I've ever attended," he said after receiving cheers from the crowd for his victory. "This amazing course, the players and staff. We amateur players aren't used to being catered to, and this is really special."
Kinkel led the event from start to finish, but nearly gave it away in Sunday's round three when he finished two over par and 9 shots more than his previous round. He entered round three with a three shot advantage, and was unaware that Brad Frase was busy shooting a -7 from the second card. Frase finished one stroke away from the leader to take 2nd.
