Not quite a year ago, Eagle McMahon took to a knee for an inside-the-circle putt to cash-in another birdie in the midst of a dominant peformance at the 2019 United States Disc Golf Championship. He was one off the lead with 21 holes to play, and on a lead card with less decorated opponents in Chris Clemons and Nathan Queen; another PDGA Major seemed to be right there for the taking.

A long-time staple known for its ski-slope elevation and limited time in the ground each summer, Milford, Mich.'s Kensington Toboggan Metropark course was plenty famous before 2018.
