2009 PDGA Disc Golf World Championships
The Professional Disc Golf Association would like to express our most sincere gratitude and thanks to the Kansas City Flying Disc Club for a most excellent 2009 PDGA Disc Golf World Championships. 934 players from 13 countries and 44 states attended the event making it the largest world championships in history. It was also stated by many of the competitors that this was also one of, if not the best, world championships in history. Tournament Directors Jack Lowe and John Chapman, along with Rick Rothstein and a bevvy of volunteers put on a show that will be tough to match for years to come and they should all be very proud of their accomplishments.
The 2009 World Championships will be remembered for years to come for having some of the tightest and most exciting races at the highest levels. Avery Jenkins and Josh Anthon put on a show for the ages with one of the most exciting finishes in the history of the world championships. The two warriors traded the lead back and forth throughout the final 9 ending up tied after regulation. An exciting five hole playoff ensued in front of a huge gallery of appreciative fans on the now famous Blue Valley course in Kansas City and it was Avery Jenkins coming out on top, and joining his sister Valarie as the first brother/sister duo to win world titles.
