SMITHFIELD, RI (WPRI) — This week's Cardi's Furniture & Mattresses Hometown Sports Hero is Evan Benson.
The 14-year-old Chepachet native found the sport of Disc Golf in 2023 and just completed his first Professional Disc Golf ***** ociation season, where he racked up nine rated rounds over 1,000 and 13 wins. That success helping to make him the #1 ranked Amateur in the world.
"At the beginning of last year I decided to play in a vouple of tournaments and started playing in a lot more tournaments than I expected," Benson said. "And yes, I mean my goal for the end of 2026 was to get to 1010 and the fact that I'm already here in July is crazy."
The secret to his amazing debut season, not really a surprise.
"Yes, I mean a lot of practice, I practice like everyday basically," Benson said. "Lot of putting practice, a lot of practice in the front yard, playing a lot of courses."
