Wysocki and Tattar Take Control at Disc Golf Pro Tour Championship

The competitive landscape has shifted dramatically at the 2024 Disc Golf Pro Tour Championship presented by Barbasol. Ricky Wysocki and Kristin Tattar, who began the tournament with a deficit, have capitalized on their opportunities to take control of the event. Both players are now two strokes ahead of their closest competitors with three rounds remaining in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The competition started with a unique twist as competitors received a starting stroke advantage based on their position in the 2024 DGPT World Standings. However, it appears that this advantage has been largely neutralized at Matt Keats Memorial at Nevin Park. Gannon Buhr and Missy Gannon, who began with a 10-under score, have seen their lead shrink significantly.

Ricky Wysocki's resurgence was particularly impressive. After a slow start from Buhr, Wysocki seized the opportunity to close out the day with birdies on three of his final holes. This effort allowed him to match the hot round of the day at 7-under and establish himself as a serious contender. Wysocki's putting statistics were also noteworthy, with an impressive 21.6 feet average in putts made and a total distance of 389 feet gained.

Isaac Robinson capitalized on his opportunities to jump into solo third place, while James Proctor rounded out the lead card at 11-under, tied with Niklas Anttila. The competition remains intense, with several players vying for position behind Wysocki and Tattar.

Kristin Tattar got off to a strong start, posting a 7-under score before encountering her first blemishes on Holes 16 and 17. She rebounded with a birdie on the final hole of the day to establish herself as the leader. Although her driving was not exceptional, she demonstrated remarkable consistency in C1X, converting 10 out of 11 attempts.

Eveliina Salonen matched Tattar's score by going 6-under and tied for second place with Holyn Handley. Ohn Scoggins rounds out the lead card at 11-under, three strokes behind Tattar and tied with Gannon. Meanwhile, Silva Saarinen had the hot round of the day, posting a 1019-rated 7-under and now finds himself tied for sixth place with Henna Blomroos.

The stage is set for an exciting conclusion to this event, as Wysocki and Tattar aim to hold off their challengers and claim the $35,000 check.
