Wysocki & Barsby Duel to Within One Stroke of Lead at Vibram Open

Date Published

Ricky Wysocki made a stunning comeback yesterday to take a share of the lead at the Vibram Open. The reigning PDGA World Champion unleashed an incredible 10-under par 50 on Maple Hill's challenging course, propelling himself into a tie for first with Gregg Barsby. With a total score of 20-under par 160, the two players will face off in today's final round, vying for the top spot and the coveted title.


Wysocki's impressive performance was fueled by his ability to stay focused on the present moment, despite the pressure of being tied with Barsby after the first three rounds. "I knew I had to do something," Wysocki said, reflecting on his strategy. "It was so tight, and I knew I needed to make the move."


Barsby also turned up the heat yesterday, carding a 6-under par 54 that kept him in contention for the top spot. His round started with a bang as he birdied hole one with a tap-in putt, but he struggled on holes three and four before getting back on track. "Whatever," Barsby joked about his ace on hole five. "The ace was cool, man. It was a sweet moment."


As the two leaders prepare for today's showdown, they'll have to contend with unpredictable weather conditions that are expected to bring heavy rain. Wysocki, who has expressed his love for playing in the rain, is ready to adapt and make the most of the challenging conditions.


Meanwhile, Nate Sexton continues to impress, carding an 8-under par 52 yesterday to move into third place behind Wysocki and Barsby. The rest of the field will be gunning for these three leaders as they look to capitalize on their momentum in today's final round.


The lead card tees off at 3 p.m. Eastern time, with real-time scoring and statistics available on UDisc Live. Fans can catch all the action on the Disc Golf Pro Tour's YouTube channel, as Wysocki and Barsby battle it out for the top spot at the Vibram Open.


In a surprise twist, Gregg Barsby revealed that he has been reflecting on his past performances at the Vibram Open, where he came up short in 2015. "I've thought about it a couple times," he admitted. "Last time was a different story, and I played a really hot front nine... but didn't finish the way I know I could."


Wysocki, too, has been drawing on past experiences, citing his own 2015 Vibram Open win as inspiration for his approach to the course. With both players bringing their unique strengths and strategies to the table, today's final round promises to be an electrifying showdown that will keep fans on the edge of their seats.


As Wysocki himself put it: "Some people are like, 'Oh, I hate the rain.'" But not him – he's convinced himself to love it. And with his positive attitude and exceptional putting skills, he's ready to take on whatever challenges come his way in today's final round.
