**META_DESCRIPTION:** Disc Golf Pro Tour champion Paige Pierce takes top spot in Waco Women's division, while Jeremy Koling wins his first title of the year in the Open division. Read about the thrilling final round and playoff finish.
Paige Pierce continued her dominance on the course, securing her third win at the Waco Annual Charity Open Presented by Dynamic Discs. The reigning champion held a three-stroke lead going into the final round, but Sarah Hokom put up a strong fight. Hokom had trailed Pierce by only two strokes in yesterday's competition and seemed to be gaining ground as she tied Pierce through the first nine holes.
However, Hokom's momentum faltered on the back nine, and Pierce took advantage of her opponent's misstep. In the end, Pierce emerged victorious with a score of 11 under par, while Hokom finished four under par. Stephanie Vincent took third place, 13 strokes behind Hokom.
In the Open division, Jeremy Koling battled his way to victory in a tense playoff finish. James Conrad made an impressive leap from the chase card to tie Koling at the end of the final round. Despite Koling's solid play, he left several putts on the field, but ultimately secured the win with a tap-in putt.
Conrad's outstanding performance earned him a spot among the tournament leaders, and his score of 1063 points was nearly 50 above his expected rating. Koling's victory marked his first title of the year in the Disc Golf Pro Tour.
The Waco Annual Charity Open Presented by Dynamic Discs concluded with an exciting finale, setting the stage for the next stop on the tour. The Nick Hyde Memorial Presented by Innova is scheduled to take place from March 31st to April 2nd in Rockwall, TX.
