Wyatt Mahoney wins Mine Kill title by one stroke over Jonathan Borzick

Wyatt Mahoney did not separate from Jonathan Borzick until the final scorecard was tallied, but that one-stroke margin was enough. Mahoney won the 2026 Mine Kill Disc Golf Championship in North Blenheim, New York, finishing 25-under over three rounds and beating Borzick 164 to 165 in a finish that stayed tense all weekend.

The title was shaped by the course as much as by the players. Mine Kill State Park offered a layout that rewards scoring on the open front nine and punishes mistakes on the wooded back nine, a contrast that helped turn the event into a true separator rather than a casual run-up of birdies. With dual tees, two pin locations and 36 baskets on site, the permanent 18-hole course asks for both distance control and nerve, especially when the round turns into the tighter technical stretch through the woods.

Mahoney’s win stands out because it came against another proven pro, not a soft field. Borzick, who entered with 147 career events, 39 career wins and $46,928 in career earnings, pushed him to the edge before settling for second at 164. David Fleck finished third at 15-under, then Andrew Cochran at 12-under and Dylan Capaccioli at 11-under, a gap that shows how quickly the leaderboard opened once the top two pulled away.

The regional depth was there from the start. The Professional Disc Golf Association event was a Professional A-Tier, completed with official ratings processed, and the field drew 64 players with a $10,552 pro purse. Registration had been heavy well before the weekend, with 65 players listed against a cap of 72, including 44 MPO players, six FPO players, eight MP40 players, two FP40 players and four MP50 players.

That depth mattered late. Miles Sayer, Trevor Dean, Matthew Spina and others sat clustered between 9-under and 6-under, but none could force a collapse from the leaders. Mahoney, listed on his PDGA profile at 1023-rated after the June 9 update, held his line through the pressure and added another major regional title to a résumé that already showed 199 career events and 67 career wins.

Mine Kill has become a meaningful stop because the setting gives players multiple ways to score and multiple ways to give shots back. The state park, set in the scenic Schoharie Valley, promotes year-round disc golf when weather allows, along with Mine Kill Falls, which drops 80 feet through a narrow gorge. The course itself is free to play, disc rentals cost $1 each and parking can carry a fee during peak season, details that help make the venue accessible while still demanding elite execution. For Mahoney, that mix produced the kind of narrow victory that defines a season, not just a weekend.
