Team USA starting to shape up
With one more qualifier to go on both sides of the Atlantic, Team USA players Nikko Locastro and David Feldberg have already secured their places in the U.S. team in this years Disc Golf Presidents Cup. Other players close to getting the spot are Paul Ulibarri (currently standing at 230 points), Paul McBeth (215) and Steve Brinster (210). Bubbling under are names like Doss, Climo, Anthon and Schusterick and all of them still have a solid chance of making the team. The final Team USA roster will be sorted out at the Beaver State Fling, so be sure to keep an eye on the latter mentioned names at Milo McIver!
In Womens division 3-time World Champ Valarie Jenkins has already secured her spot in the team, while the second available spot is still open with Paige Pierce and Liz Lopez just 20 points apart on the 2nd and 3rd place currently in the standings.
Team Europe roster still wide open
On the Old Continent Markus Källström is so far the only one with a secured place in the Presidents Cup Team. Below that there’s still more than 10 players with theoretical chances on earning the spot in the Team Europe, as Jussi Meresmaa won’t be playing in the Presidents Cup since he is the Tournament Director. Stockholm Open in the start of July will define the final shape of the Team so make sure you check back on that.
In Womens division no one is still safe, as many players still have a solid chance of earning the spot, especially as the leading lady, Team Discmania’s Angelica Frantz will not be attending the Presidents cup and European Open.
Team Captains revealed!
In addition to 5+2 spots both teams get by qualification process, there’s one available spot in both teams that will be determined by Captain’s choice. This year we’re proud to announce that the Team Captains will once again be Hans Tegebäck for Team Europe and David Greenwell for Team USA.
