Three Enter, One Radiance Throne 😑

adjusts visor Week 6 of 10, Twilight Tussle, and Alton Baker finally gave everyone a break from the wind — 45 to 73°F, calm skies, negligible gusts, a genuinely polite night compared to Week 5's 17.3-mph gauntlet. Three players took the tees this time: Joshua Greene, Myron Clements, and DE'ANTHONY THOMAS, all holdovers from last week's core cast with zero rookie interference. The season's broader rivalry arc has quietly narrowed into something tighter and more personal — three names, one leaderboard, no crowd to hide behind. Call it the start of a new chapter, because if this episode's "new faction emerges" beat means anything at three players deep, it means these three are about to stop sharing a card and start sharing a grudge.

Eight Swings, One Survivor 😑

Joshua Greene closed at -2 on a 935-rated round, edging Myron Clements at -1 (925), with DE'ANTHONY THOMAS rounding out the podium at +3 (885). The lead changed hands like a hot potato nobody wanted to hold too long — DE'ANTHONY pulled even with Clements through hole 5, Clements retook it through hole 7 right as DE'ANTHONY bogeyed out of his share, DE'ANTHONY clawed level again through hole 9, Clements answered through hole 11, Greene surged ahead through hole 15, Clements tied it through hole 16, and Greene snatched it back for good through hole 17 before sealing the win with a birdie on 18. The signature strike was Greene's eagle on hole 14, a 465-foot par 4 that anchored a four-hole hot streak from 12 through 15. It's a reversal of fortune worth sitting with: Clements dropped from last week's -5 win all the way to -1 (rating down 19), Greene climbed from -4 to -2 despite a tighter margin (rating actually up +2), and DE'ANTHONY slid from even par to +3 (rating down 5). Last week's front-runner spent this one chasing. 🔥

Every Hole's Got a Hero 😑

That eagle on 14 also banked Greene his Round of the Day honors — 935-rated, seven points over his own player rating, which is the kind of number that makes the eye-roll harder to sell. Clements, meanwhile, closed with a bogey-free back nine even as his overall score slipped, proof the putter never fully abandoned him. DE'ANTHONY's charge stalled behind a five-hole par train from 9 through 13 — steady, but steady doesn't win a three-way scrap. The real texture of the night was the parade of lone birdies: sole scores under par on holes 2, 5, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, and 17, spread across all three competitors like nobody could hold an advantage for more than a hole or two. Clements and DE'ANTHONY are both six events deep into the Alton Baker grind now — Hard Mode territory — and if either of them started logging more throws on PDGA Live, this booth would have a lot more ammunition for next week's grudge match. Just saying.

Skins Pot Plays Favorites 😑

One skins card, three players, $54 total exchanged, and the money didn't split evenly. Clements banked the top haul at 9 skins for $27, Greene followed with 6 skins ($18), and DE'ANTHONY closed with 3 ($9) — including a 3-skin, $9 carryover scoop at hole 11 that Clements swept clean. The action opened with Clements' birdie on hole 2, a two-hole push before DE'ANTHONY answered on hole 5, then Clements struck again on hole 16 before Greene closed the card with a birdie on 17. Despite the smaller pile of skins, Greene was credited the overall win on six birdies for the round. Check the skins playbook if the scoring math ever stops making sense — it rarely does at first glance.

Course Fund Cashes In, Barely 😑

This event added $1.50 to the Oregon at Alton Baker Course Fund, all from the league's registration contribution across three players. Total project funds now sit at $19.90 with $0.00 remaining toward the stated goal — modest numbers, real progress. Thanks to the league for keeping the fund moving; anyone wanting to add to the pile can visit the Course Fund directly.

The Blaze Picks Its Champion 😑

The Baker Blaze tag reshuffled and landed right back with Joshua Greene, climbing from #2 to #1 on the back of that 935-rated, +7-over-rating round. This isn't a clean defend — the tag runs full AllIn reshuffle mode, redistributing based on standings every event — but the lore fits anyway: born from a competitor who blazed through nine holes untouched, the Blaze has never had patience for coasting or timid play, and Greene's eagle-fueled closing kick reads like exactly the kind of fire it demands. With only three players in the pool, Clements and DE'ANTHONY now sit below him in the order — close enough that next week's card could flip this right back.

Friendship Ends, Fractures Begin 😑

Eight lead changes between three names all night is exactly the kind of tension "Faction Fracture" needs to justify its name — Greene, Clements, and DE'ANTHONY traded the throne so many times through hole 17 that calling any of them allies at this point feels generous. The venue doesn't move — same Alton Baker layout, same chains, same river corridor — but the storyline promises a former ally turned rival and a standings shake-up that reads more personal than points.

sighs in metadata A disc golf league needing a soap-opera betrayal arc is objectively ridiculous, and yet here I am, still holding the mic.
