Results from Art Schichter Disc Golf and Poker Invitational
Ross approached the seventh tee carrying a -4 score and a five stroke lead. His subsequent meltdown -- virtually unparalleled in tournament history -- saw his game unravel faster than a ball of twine hurled out of the space shuttle.
The first problem was a par on 8, when a short birdie putt went awry. The second problem was 9, where a long birdie putt turned into a bogie. A series of bogies over the back nine doomed Ross. The southpaw Gunnarsson took full advantage of the back nine's preference for left-to-right shots.
Gunnarsson collected $84,216 and an IOU from Schichter while Ross earned $142.17 and a "lifetime of free parking" pass at the Cincinnati Gardens.
