Fraction Run Cup 8
Fraction Run Cup 8
It feels like this event was just born and now we’re already in our 8th year. Fraction has kicked off the season for us for a few years now and has become the iconic home opener. The entire podium for MPO was in grade school when this event started with its official title back in 2019. That not only shows the passing of the generational torch but also the strength of the community. We push our kids to be better than us. The next generation of disc golfer has absolutely arrived. These kids are athletic, grinding out practice rounds, and putting in the time to perfect the game and it shows more and more every year. We are seeing this trend in every division offered. We feel like our entire community has leveled up and is taking this sport to places we haven’t seen yet! Our hats off to you and we look forward to seeing where you can take this sport!
We had the pleasure of hosting our very own John Knudson in his first MA80 divisional this past weekend. We tell him every time we see him how much we appreciate him leading the way and showing us just how much fun we can have with this game. John averaged 9 points above his rating!
Larry Auld takes the MA70 division win!
In MA65 Tom McManus is the man to beat as he takes down yet another win in his lucrative career! Tom averaged 25 points above his rating and took it down by 8 strokes.
Local legend Jerome Harvey reigned in MA60 with a 5 stroke win over the field averaging 56 points above his rating.
We had a two horse race in MA50 with Mike Albertini and Shannon Berryhill. These guys went into a two hole play off in the wind where Mike took it after two holes. Both shot -14 for the event and averaged 48 and 71 points above their respective ratings.

Reigning MP40 man to beat, Dana Vicich, took down the division by 7 strokes and averaged 1014 rated golf!
Last but certainly not least, Lockport Local Gavin Bednar takes down the MPO division by 5 strokes with 1042 rated golf with a Birdie, Eagle, Birdie finish! We have watched Gavin grow up at Dellwood and seeing him take this event down had us looking back on the last 13 years of dedication to this place and this sport. Gavin Bednar and his abilities are a shining example of why this is all worth it. Gavin has become one of the most dedicated disc golfers I have ever witnessed at The Canyons. Congrats Gav, keep it up!
