As the year drew to a close, the Disc Golf Pro Tour hosted its championship event, featuring four days of intense competition that culminated in the crowning of two new champions. The stage was set for an exciting finale, with several top players vying for the top spots in both the FPO and MPO divisions.
In the FPO division, a talented group of women fought for the title, including Paige Pierce, Sarah Hokom, Catrina Allen, and Lisa Fajkus. While Lisa Fajkus made a remarkable run, earning a bye to the quarterfinals and playing her way into the championship round, it was Paige Pierce who ultimately emerged victorious. With a commanding lead from the start, Pierce continued her dominance, landing the only eagle of the championship on hole 9 and cruising to victory with a six-throw lead.
The MPO division saw an equally thrilling conclusion, as five players made it to the finals. Ricky Wysocki, Paul McBeth, Simon Lizotte, Dana Vicich, and James Conrad battled it out for the top spot, with several twists and turns along the way. After an intense back-and-forth competition, Ricky Wysocki emerged as the champion, finishing ahead of Paul McBeth in a closely contested race.
The 2017 season has come to a close, but the excitement and momentum generated by this year's championships will carry over into 2018. As the Disc Golf Pro Tour looks forward to the new season, it extends gratitude to its fans and players for their dedication and support in growing the sport of disc golf.
