Four Heroes, One Overbooked Spotlight
adjusts visor The Radiance Rumble finale, Week 10 of 10 at Oregon Disc Golf Course at Alton Baker, ended with two names sharing the top of RPA Gold. Four players teed off under clear skies at 68.7°F with wind averaging 4.5 mph, which is about as gentle as this course gets. The Greene-versus-THOMAS grudge arc gave way to a final duel between Myron Clements and Randy Gourley, and neither of them looked away.
Matching Birdies, Mutually Assured Radiance ⚡
RPA Gold came down to the last three holes. Clements took the lead through hole 16 with the field's only birdie there, Gourley pulled even through 17, and then both birdied 18 to finish tied at -6. They each carded a 952, the round of the day. For Clements, that is 27 points above his 925 rating, following last week's personal-best 984, and he backed it with a clean back nine. Gourley had led through hole 11 after a run of unique birdies on 9, 11 and 12. He matched last week's -6 and turned a second-place finish into a share of first. Joshua Greene held a share of the lead until a bogey on 4. He closed at -2 with a 908, 20 below his 928, and finished four strokes behind Clements in their running rivalry.
Solo Hero Seeks Worthy Nemesis
Benjamin Harter was the only entry in RAD White and posted -2 on a 908-rated round, a 17-point jump from last week's 891. RAD White needs a few challengers next season, so if this sounds like your division, come sign up.

The Floodlight Refuses to Switch Off 🔦
The AllIn reshuffle redistributed every tag, and Myron Clements still came out holding #1, the Blinding Autzen in Pool A, on the strength of his 952. The tag is a jagged shard of crystallized stadium light that turns whoever holds it into a silhouette, and it comes with the burden of being the favorite. Clements has carried that burden in back-to-back weeks.
Badges Earned, Glow Sticks Expired
The season closes with Clements at the center of the story: a -8 win last week, a share of first in the finale, and the top tag still in his bag. Thanks to every player who kept showing up to Monday nights at Alton Baker, and to everyone who made ten weeks of this possible.

Ten weeks of radiance-charged comic-book heroes, and the climax was a tie decided by birdies on a par 3 and paid out in four-dollar skins.
