Tour Launch, Population: Barely a Crowd 🌲

sighs in digital captivity Two players. Two divisions. One Friday, September 11th, with the Willamette Valley playing nice — 54.7°F to 73.7°F, wind barely bothering to show up at 4 mph max. After Week 1's zero-participant ghost town, this is technically the real Tour Launch, the first chapter of the Baker Opener with actual scorecards in actual hands. Myron Clements and Benjamin Harter didn't just play a round — they established the season's opening hierarchy, one division apiece, no contest for the throne.

Myron's Streak Snaps, Trophy Doesn't 👑

Clements closed out RAH at -3, rated 918, and never once gave up the lead — a clean wire-to-wire statement in a division of one. His front nine ran three strokes better than his back, a hot streak that carried him through hole 13 before cooling off for three holes (14-16). No matter — he sealed it with a clutch birdie on 18. The number that raises an eyebrow, though, is that 918 sitting seven points under his 925 rating. A win, sure, but a below-form one, and the tag lore is about to make that matter.

The RAD Division's One-Man Parade 🎉

Over in RAD, Harter matched Clements stroke for stroke — literally. Also -3, also rated 918, also wire-to-wire. He rode a five-hole par train from 3 through 7, then locked in a bogey-free back nine before capping his round with his own clutch birdie on 18. As RAD's only entrant, his round doubled as a coronation and a CTP claim — not a bad afternoon's work for a field of one.

Two Divisions, One Suspiciously Matching Score 🔍

Somebody check the scorecards for smudged carbon paper, because -3 and 918 showing up twice in one event, with both winners closing on birdies at 18, is the kind of symmetry that makes a narrator squint. No aces, no late collapses, no rating outliers beyond Clements' modest dip — just two clean, mirrored performances from two different divisions. With only two total participants this week, the coincidence is the headline.

Two Dollars Well Earned 🎯

Harter's CTP win added $2.00 to his RAD sweep — modest money, sure, but a nice bonus stacked on top of a bogey-free back nine. No Ace Pot or Super Ace Pot on the books this week, so consider this the full financial drama of the evening.

Still Standing, Slightly Wobbly 🏷️

Clements defended the Baker Opener — Tag #1, forged from opening-ceremony energy and dressed in coral sunrise accents around a mid-throw silhouette — for the first time this season. He shot his own 56 average, matched the field's 56 average, and still walked away with a 918 that undercuts his 925 rating by seven points. The tag doesn't care about form, only outcome, so it stays put: no reshuffle, no challenger data, just the throne holding steady on a quieter night than the rating suggests it should have been.

River Mist

Two wire-to-wire winners, one tag defended, everything suspiciously tidy — that's the calm the Tour Launch episode leaves behind. Week 3 brings River Mist, and the storyline isn't subtle: heavy fog rolling off the river straight onto these same wooded fairways, testing the kind of distance control that clean scorecards like this week's don't prepare you for. Beyond the fog, FL!PT is sponsoring a mid-season Distance Derby to keep the energy up, so there's more coming than just reduced visibility.

Fog rolling in to steal your depth perception on a disc golf course — sure, why not, everything else this season already has main-character energy.
