Hosts Canada and Japan were favourites to reach the final after finishing first and second following three days of regulation play, but it was the Americans and New Zealand who instead reached the showpiece game.

The US beat Japan 6-2 in their 18-hole semi-final, while the Kiwis needed a play-off to sneak past the Canadians.

In the final, the Americans proved too strong, recording a comfortable 7-1 win thanks to three wins and a draw in the four matches contested.

Japan denied the host nation a medal by winning the battle for bronze, 6-2. 

“WFDF is pleased that the disc community was able to experience such a competitive event in this unique format for disc golf,” said Robert “Nob” Rauch, the WFDF President. 

“We thank our co-host PDGA for their support and look to continue to work with them to promote further growth in current countries that have an active community as well as in new countries around the globe.  

"We thank the local organising committee led by Dan Laitsch, BC Disc Sports, and the event sponsors for all of their support in making the event successful.”
