When disc golfers talk about the PDGA World Champion "Paige," most times they are referring to the dynamo out of Texas, Paige Pierce who is the 2011 Women's Open World Champion. And yet, there is another Paige [Bjerkaas], who captured the 2010 PDGA under 16 Girls World Championship in Ohio.
This Paige hails from Denver, Colorado and, in addition to her incredibly upbeat and positive approach to disc golf, is a fierce competitor who toppled Des Reading by four throws in the 2011 High Plains Challenge.
Now the Pro Rookie is dedicated to stepping up her game and competing against all the women she idolized for the last five years. And even though she is a still only 15 years old, her composure on the course and in front of the camera make her a special disc golfer who will be making her mark in the sport for years to come.
Enjoy this exclusive interview with Paige Bjerkaas from her Denver, Colorado home, as DiscGolfPlanet TV's John Duesler talks to her about everything from her personal strengths and weaknesses, to the role her dad and mom play in her disc golf career, to what she believes disc golf is doing right and what we still need to improve upon.
