Double Champions Crowned as DGPT Season Comes to a Close

The 2022 Disc Golf Pro Tour Championship presented by Barbasol has concluded, and two exceptional players have emerged as champions: Ricky Wysocki and Kristin Tattar. These top seeds entered the week in first place after dominating the regular-season points standings, and they successfully navigated the bracket-style finale to secure their wins.

Kristin Tattar, widely regarded as the highest-rated FPO player globally and the reigning PDGA World Champion, faced stiff competition from Ohn Scoggins, Missy Gannon, and Valerie Mandujano in her final win of the season. Reflecting on her victory, Tattar expressed her excitement and gratitude: "This is amazing. I really wanted to win this not only because it was a big payout but it would be a nice way to end this incredible season that I've had. It was intense." She acknowledged the immense satisfaction of achieving her dreams, stating, "I am living in this magical place right now. It's going to be hard to top it off."

Ricky Wysocki, who secured four DGPT Elite Series wins this season, faced a thrilling comeback and playoff situation. With his birdie on hole 18 tying him with Isaac Robinson, Wysocki then won the title in the playoff by running back another birdie. Gannon Buhr finished third, and Paul McBeth came fourth on Sunday at Nevin Park in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Wysocki credited adrenaline for helping him secure the win: "Lots of adrenaline," he said. "Coming into the week, I had a feeling that it would come down to 18. Everyone has been getting pars. I was down one, I had to get really aggressive off of the tee and got into a great spot." He highlighted his reliance on his trusted forehand shot, which allowed him to capitalize and make a crucial birdie.

Both players broke records with their payouts: Tattar set a new mark for FPO players with $103,141, while Wysocki topped the record for most cash earned in a PDGA year with $105,576. Their impressive victories marked the culmination of an outstanding season for both champions.
