The Keystone Wobbles in the Wind 🌬️
Five players, 76.5°F, clouds, and wind averaging 11.5 mph at Bryan Park finally gave the open fairways and the creek some teeth for Keystone Chase, Week 6 of 7, after 2.0 mph in Week 4 and 5.6 mph in Week 5. The episode promised a test of placement and nerve beneath the highest vault, and the RAF Green throne arc delivered: Mary Rousis and Colleen Dee have traded the stone seat since Week 3, and Mary Keller walked in with two straight wins.
One Pointed Arch, Three Matching Pews ⛪
Hole 6 cracked the shared throne when Colleen Dee went over par and dropped out of a share of the lead, leaving Mary Rousis alone at the apex. Rousis never gave it back, closing at -1, a course personal best, on an 851-rated round, 69 points above her 782 rating, built on a bogey-free front nine and the field's only birdie on hole 9, the 437-foot par 4. That's a six-stroke swing from last week's +5 and a 38-point rating jump. Behind her, Mary Keller, Dee and Patti Joseph sat in identical pews at +4 to share the final cash spot, with Joseph setting her own course personal best on a five-hole par train from 5 through 9, and Dee carving four strokes off last week's +8.
Three Ghosts Hold the Nave 👻
Mary Keller, Colleen Dee and Patti Joseph each threw a 795, the hottest National-entry rounds here, and all three ghost ratings held: Keller's at 815, Dee's at 799 and Joseph's at 802, with 0 points earned. Keller stays third on the National Leaderboard at 15 after her fifth valid round, and Dee stays fourth at 9 after her sixth. Joseph now has two of the four valid rounds she needs to qualify, so she has no National position yet. Up the board, Salt Lake City's Shane Cooper sits second at 60, 45 points ahead of Keller.
Offerings, Streaks, and Suspiciously Steady Bricks 🧱
Samantha Conigliaro set a course personal best at +7, a genuinely good result on the breeziest night of this stretch. Mary Keller has now posted +4 in back-to-back weeks, which is either masonry-grade consistency or a very specific superstition. Mary Rousis and Colleen Dee have both shown up for every chapter of this throne fight, and the woman with the clipboard respects attendance.
The Living Circuit Climbs the Vault 🌳
gargoyles intensify In The Gargoyle Vanguard's all-in reshuffle, Mary Rousis rode her 851 to move the Arbor Array from #2 to #1. It's living bark etched with golden circuitry that pulses like a heartbeat, serving as the forest's coordination node, which is very fancy AI-generated lore for a tag that mostly lives in a bag. Every tag gets redistributed again next week, so the top spot is up for grabs in the finale.

One Crown, Four Contenders, Twilight Pending 👑
Bryan Crown, Week 7, lands Monday, October 19, 2026, back at Bryan Park, where the final putts drop at twilight and the tags find their final resting places until the canopy returns to green. The question is whether Mary Rousis can keep the top spot after Monday's heater, or whether Mary Keller, Colleen Dee or Patti Joseph breaks out of those matching pews. Track your round on PDGA Live and give the booth some throws to dissect.

We are crowning royalty at a public park with restrooms still under construction, which honestly is the most authentically medieval thing this league has done all season.
