Jonesboro Open Set to Get Underway This Weekend with Stellar Field
Date Published
The disc golf world will take a brief pause from its first PDGA Pro Major of the year, as the inaugural PDGA Champions Cup presented by Bushnell comes to an end. However, the excitement doesn't stop there, as the Elite Series action resumes this weekend at the 2022 Play It Again Sports Jonesboro Open powered by Prodigy.
The event will attract a field of 167 top-notch players, including reigning champions Paige Pierce and Chris Dickerson. The competition will take place on the challenging Disc Side of Heaven course, which boasts a length of 9,995 feet for MPO players and 8,572 feet for FPO competitors.
Last year's Jonesboro Open saw Catrina Allen dominate the field with an impressive 1042-rated round of 54, securing an eight-stroke victory. This remarkable performance marked a turning point in the tournament, as Pierce's four-stroke win streak was finally broken. The event also witnessed Ricky Wysocki emerging victorious on the MPO side, claiming a four-stroke victory over Calvin Heimburg.
This year, Allen returns to the competition after finishing strong at the first PDGA Pro Major of the year, where she set a course record and secured a fifth-place finish. Meanwhile, Wysocki will look to defend his title, having recently clinched second place at the International Disc Golf Center in Georgia.
The 2022 tour is heating up, and fans are eager to witness the action unfold on the Jonesboro Open stage. With a talented field of players set to compete, this weekend promises to be an unforgettable experience for spectators and participants alike.
