The final round of the DGPT – Dynamic Discs Open saw a flurry of activity at the top of both the men's and women's leaderboards. In the FPO division, five players entered the last round within two strokes of each other: Missy Gannon, an experienced Major winner; Hailey King, a two-time champion of this event; Holyn Handley, consistently in contention but seeking her first Elite Series win; Lisa Fajkus, a seasoned touring pro with a game built on windy conditions; and Emily Weatherman, a talented rookie on the tour.

As these leaders approached the final three holes, they were temporarily separated by just one stroke. However, all except Fajkus carded bogeys on the island 16th hole. King and Weatherman each birdied the 17th, but Weatherman's subsequent bogey on the 18th due to an out-of-bounds tee shot dropped her from contention. Handley also fell short with a bogey at the 17th, while Fajkus's double-bogey finish eliminated her from the running.

Gannon maintained her momentum with two pars, and King's bogey at the last due to a wayward approach gave Gannon a tie for first place at 5-under-par. The duo advanced to a three-hole aggregate playoff featuring holes 16-18. In this sudden-death format, each player would face a challenging test of skill.

The first hole in the playoff saw both players birdie the difficult 16th – Gannon converting a breathtaking 40-foot putt directly at the water's edge. On the next hole, King struggled with her tee shot, resulting in a bogey. Gannon seized the opportunity to play the final hole for par and secured her second Major/Elite Series win of 2024.

In the MPO division, the top of the leaderboard was similarly congested at the start of round three. Players acknowledged the importance of getting off to a quick start, particularly since the first seven holes are among the most scoreable on the course. Calvin Heimburg recognized this and executed his strategy flawlessly. A 7-under-par performance on the opening seven holes erased Ricky Wysocki's overnight lead, and Heimburg never looked back.

Heimburg went on to card an impressive 12-under-par round – narrowly missing out on the course record of 13-under set by Joseph Anderson just minutes before. The field was left in his wake as he established a three-throw gap over the rest of the competitors at 28-under for the tournament. Gavin Buhr (-25) finished second, and Gavin Rathbun (-23) completed the podium.
