Article Excerpt
Byline: The Register-Guard

David Feldberg, 28, of Springfield, capped his most successful year on the professional disc golf tour this month by winning the United States Disc Golf Championship held in Rock Hill, S.C. The $11,000 prize brings his winnings to more than $27,300 for the year, with several smaller tournaments left to play. To date, he has won seven of the 21 tournaments entered in 2005, never finishing out of the top nine. Feldberg, who took up the sport in Michigan in 1997 and turned pro in 2000, arrived at the University of Oregon three years ago to work on dual undergraduate degrees in business and education. Although his professional career takes him throughout the country and occasionally overseas (he is also studying for a minor degree in Japanese), Feldberg and roommate Avery Jenkins, also a professional disk golfer, aim to expand the local community's understanding of the sport. The duo are establishing a club team at the university and will organize an on-campus tournament in mid-January that is open to the public as well as UO students. The tournament will include an introductory clinic and entry details will be announced following the holidays.
