The Disc Golf Pro Tour has come to a thrilling close, marking the end of an exciting season that saw two new champions emerge in their respective divisions. The Pro Tour Championship, which spanned four days of intense competition, culminated in the crowning of Paige Pierce and Ricky Wysocki as the FPO and MPO division champions.
In the FPO division, a strong field of top-ranked players battled it out for the championship title. Paige Pierce, Sarah Hokom, Catrina Allen, and Lisa Fajkus advanced to the final round after earning semifinals byes or wildcard spots. The story of the day was Lisa Fajkus, who fought hard to claim the champion title but ultimately finished tied with Catrina Allen.
However, Paige Pierce's dominance proved unbeatable as she set a strong lead early on and maintained it throughout the championship. Her impressive performance earned her not only the 2017 Pro Tour Champion title but also the 2017 Pro Tour Points Champion crown.
The MPO division saw an equally fierce competition among five top players, including Ricky Wysocki, Paul McBeth, Simon Lizotte, and Dana Vicich. Despite being ranked 45th in Tour Point Standings at the start of the weekend, Dana Vicich made a remarkable comeback with hot rounds on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday to secure a spot in the finals.
The final round was a nail-biting affair, with Ricky Wysocki, Paul McBeth, and James Conrad trading leads throughout the day. However, it was Ricky's consistency that ultimately paid off as he took home the 2017 Pro Tour Champion and Points Champion titles.
As the season draws to a close, the Disc Golf Pro Tour would like to extend its gratitude to all players and fans who have supported the sport of disc golf this year. With the Memorial tournament on the horizon in 2018, fans can look forward to another thrilling season of competitive disc golf action.
