Hamm and Napier top Seven Oaks summer solstice battle in Nashville

Troy Hamm and Hatcher Mason finished at the top of the MPO board with matching 107s, 17 under par, as the 2026 Seven Oaks Summer Solstice Presented by Innova delivered the kind of compressed finish that rewards clean execution over two rounds. Jackson Hester and Logan Bowers sat one stroke back at 108, with Ryan Telly Bretell and Reese Petersen another shot behind at 109, turning Nashville’s summer B-tier into a race where almost every clean look mattered.

That tight cluster told the story of Seven Oaks more than any single big number. The course gave elite players room to attack, and the 20-hole rounds on Saturday and Sunday produced low totals across the pro field, but the leaderboard still refused to break open. Hamm held first on the live table and Mason sat second, yet the gap from first to sixth was only two throws, a margin small enough to keep pressure on every drive, approach and putt. The event drew 148 players, carried a $4,923 pro purse and included $1,000 in added cash, enough to make the final stretch feel like a real payday sprint even in a regional B-tier.

MP40 sharpened that same picture. Dutch Napier won the division at 106, good for 18 under par, while Miguel Castro and David Harless tied for second at 109. That three-shot spread was the clearest evidence that Seven Oaks could be attacked, but not entirely conquered; players who stayed aggressive still had to survive a weekend where small misses quickly turned into lost strokes. FPO had a wider gap, with Alx Stewart taking first at 136 and Kayla Vaughan finishing second at 144, a reminder that the scoring window was not identical across every division.

The event was staged June 20-21 at Seven Oaks Disc Golf Course in Nashville, with tee times at 8:00 a.m. both days and a published structure of one round of 20 holes per day. Mitch Baker served as tournament director, Zachary Hoy as assistant tournament director, and the PDGA listed the event report as received with official ratings pending. Music City Disc Golf hosted the tournament, which also featured MP50, MP60, MA1 through MA4, age-protected women’s divisions and junior fields, keeping the weekend broad even as the top of MPO stayed packed.

Seven Oaks has already built a pattern of producing low scoring and crowded leaderboards. The 2024 edition drew 149 players and paid a $4,505 pro purse, with Noah Smith winning MPO at 114, while the 2018 event drew 100 players and saw Logan Bowers win at 114 on a 21-hole, par-63 layout. The 2026 version fit that history and sharpened it, with Hamm, Mason and the chase pack showing how little space Seven Oaks gives away when the scoring starts to get hot.
