The United States Disc Golf Championship is a disc golf tournament held at the Winthrop Gold Course, on the campus of Winthrop University in Rock Hill, South Carolina. The professional event was held annually from 1999 to 2010, before moving to a biennial schedule. Along with the PDGA World Championships, it is one of the most prestigious major tournaments in disc golf. The primary sponsor for the event over the past decade has been Innova, a disc manufacturer. Ken Climo currently holds a record five US Disc Golf Championships. He is followed by Barry Schultz who has recorded three titles. The most recent champion is Will Schusterick with the first back to back wins since Ken Climo's 1999-2000 wins. Schusterick is looking to set a new record at the 2013 US Open with the first three-peat in USDGC history.

Famous quotes containing the words united states, united, states, disc and/or golf:
“What chiefly distinguishes the daily press of the United States from the press of all other countries is not its lack of truthfulness or even its lack of dignity and honor, for these deficiencies are common to the newspapers everywhere, but its incurable fear of ideas, its constant effort to evade the discussion of fundamentals by translating all issues into a few elemental fears, its incessant reduction of all reflection to mere emotion. It is, in the true sense, never well-informed.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“The Federated Republic of Europe—the United States of Europe—that is what must be. National autonomy no longer suffices. Economic evolution demands the abolition of national frontiers. If Europe is to remain split into national groups, then Imperialism will recommence its work. Only a Federated Republic of Europe can give peace to the world.”
—Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)
“The mission of the United States is one of benevolent assimilation.”
—William McKinley (1843–1901)
““When the sun rises, do you not see a round disc of fire somewhat like a guinea?” O no, no, I see an innumerable company of the heavenly host crying “Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty.””
—William Blake (1757–1827)
