Ring Champion

David Phillips fired a 56 with a 899 round rating, +55 over his 844 rating, and that is a legit statement round by any scorecard. The field averaged 58.5 and his personal average is 60.7, so he beat the field by 2.5 strokes and his own norm by 4.7, which is how a Michigan crooked hat climbs from tag #4 to tag #2. The Ring Champion judges precision, not power, and today the precision showed up with receipts. Back to you in the booth, where the tag board has finally stopped sulking.

David Phillips posted a 728 round rating, -116 below his 844 rating, with a 65—2.6 strokes above the 62.4 field average and 6.5 above his personal average. In Heaven Duel, the Ring Champion stayed at tag #4; no movement, just a rough round filed under continuity.

David Phillips shot 60, 2.9 strokes better than the 62.9 field average, and posted an 854 round rating—+10 over his 844 rating, a solid showing even as he slipped from tag #1 to #4, losing three places. In Midway Guild week, the neon grid may be steadier, but the leaderboard still flickers; the Ring Champion leaves with a lower tag standing and a respectable scorecard.

David Phillips posted a 57 and an 886 round rating—+42 over rating against an 844 PDGA rating, finishing 5.2 strokes under the 62.2 field average. That strong outing sent him from tag #9 to #1, gaining eight positions with none lost; the Ring Champion judged precision, not power, through the Michigan Storm. The booth is now required to call this a major plot development, despite it still being a very efficient afternoon of throwing plastic at baskets.
