Ricky Wysocki and Missy Gannon Reign Supreme in Thrilling DGPT Championships

The stage was set for an epic finale to the 2023 Disc Golf Pro Tour Championship presented by Barbasol, as the best of the best in the FPO and MPO divisions took to the course at Nevin Park. The tension was palpable as Ricky Wysocki and Missy Gannon battled it out with their closest competitors for the top spot on the podium.

In the FPO division, Gannon proved herself to be a force to be reckoned with, consistently hitting tight gaps and maintaining an impressive 91% fairway hit rate throughout the final round. Despite her closest competitor, Kat Mertsch, putting up a strong fight, Gannon's focus and determination ultimately paid off, as she took home the win by three strokes.

Gannon's victory marked her second DGPT Championship title and tied her with Catrina Allen for the most Tour Championship wins in the FPO division. "I just knew that I had to stay within my own limits and hit the lines and make the putts," Gannon said after the round, her poise and composure a testament to her experience and skill.

Meanwhile, in the MPO division, Wysocki found himself locked in a heated battle with Kyle Klein. The two players traded strokes throughout the final round, with Klein briefly taking the lead only for Wysocki to regain his footing and maintain a slim advantage going into the final hole.

Wysocki's clutch play was on full display as he sunk a massive 75-foot birdie putt on hole 16, leaving Klein with no choice but to go for it. However, Wysocki's decision to lay up on the final hole paid off, as Klein ultimately faltered and handed Wysocki his third DGPT Championship title.

"I had to be aggressive," Wysocki said after the round, "but I also knew that having at least two strokes coming into 17 and 18 was crucial." His words were a testament to his experience and strategic thinking under pressure.

With their victories, both Gannon and Wysocki cemented their places in disc golf history. Gannon's win marked her second DGPT Championship title, while Wysocki's victory secured back-to-back Tour Championship titles, making him the first three-time winner of the event.

The 2023 Disc Golf Pro Tour Championship will be remembered for its thrilling conclusion, but it also highlighted the incredible talent and skill on display throughout the Elite season. As the competition looks to next year, one thing is certain: these players are setting the bar high for themselves and their peers.
