Tier - B
Division - MA40
I’m incredibly proud to share that I’ve taken out the MA40 division at the 48th New Zealand Disc Golf National Championships – Knottingley Giants, presented by RPM Discs.
This was one of the biggest and most hotly contested divisions of the entire tournament, with the lead changing constantly across the weekend. I was stoked to play above my PDGA rating every round and stay right in the mix, finishing near the top in every round.
The final day was something special—leading the charge from the chase card and managing to secure a one-stroke victory to take the win on the final round. That’s one I won’t forget anytime soon.
Huge credit to my card mates who pushed the level all weekend, and to the incredible support crew—friends, fans, and followers—who brought the energy in the gallery. It truly makes a difference. Massive appreciation as well to everyone who worked tirelessly to deliver such an outstanding national event.
Most importantly, thank you to my sponsors RPM Discs and Disc Connection. Your support goes far beyond just plastic—it enables me to compete at this level and give back to the game through initiatives like the WFC Disc Golf Otago School Disc Golf League, the development of the East Otago Disc Golf course, and supporting the growing Dunedin Women’s Disc Golf community.
Grateful. Fired up. And already looking forward to what’s next.
