In a weekend filled with tight competition, two-time defending champion Ricky Wysocki and rising star Missy Gannon proved why they are among the best in the sport. At the DGPT – Discraft Ledgestone Open presented by Bushnell, both players showed exceptional skill and determination to secure their respective championships.


Gannon, who has been a force to be reckoned with on the PDGA Elite Series this season, entered Sunday tied with Paige Pierce for first place. However, she was not about to let her rival get in her way. With a confident and controlled approach, Gannon went on a birdie streak, going four-under through a five-hole stretch as Pierce faded with three-straight bogies.


As the competition intensified, Northwood Black and Kristin Tattar found themselves within striking distance of Gannon's lead. But she was not to be denied, bouncing back from a bogey on 12 with a birdie on 13 and slamming the door shut with must-get birdies on 16 and 17. In the end, Gannon rolled to a six-stroke win, her second career Elite Series victory.


"It's one of the events that I've come to the most since I went on tour," Gannon said. "I just felt like this is one I could get, and to finally take it down is such a huge accomplishment." Her win will undoubtedly give her confidence heading into the remainder of the season, particularly with two weeks left until the PDGA Professional Disc Golf World Championships in Emporia, Kansas.


Wysocki's victory was equally impressive. After being tied through seven holes by Gannon Buhr, Wysocki exploded past his competitors with a dominant final run around Lake Eureka. In what was one of the tightest battles on tour this season, Wysocki's three-peat at Ledgestone was sealed when he canned a circle 2 putt on eight, sparking a six-hole birdie run that put the pressure square on his competitors.


"It was kind of like blackout mode there in the middle stretch," Wysocki said. "I got a lot of birdies and I really set myself apart like I said I was going to do yesterday." His victory marked the third Elite Series win for Wysocki this season, solidifying his position as one of the top players on tour.


The rest of the leaderboard saw Paul McBeth jump to a second-place finish with a strong showing on Sunday, while Corey Ellis' hot round of 10-under earned him a tie for fifth. Ohn Scoggins added another podium finish to her impressive 2022 season, finishing second at 13-under alongside Fajkus and Tattar who tied for third.


The DGPT – Discraft Ledgestone Open presented by Bushnell may be over, but the competition is far from it. With two weeks left until the PDGA Professional Disc Golf World Championships kick off in Emporia, Kansas, Gannon and Wysocki will undoubtedly be among the top contenders to watch.
