Wysocki Dominates Jonesboro Open with Impressive Victory

The 2021 PDGA Elite Series season has officially been kick-started with a bang as Ricky Wysocki took down the DGPT – Play It Again Sports Jonesboro Open powered by Prodigy in convincing fashion. The American disc golfer, who had already made a statement at the 26th Annual Texas State Disc Golf Championship in March, continued to prove his mettle on the course.

Wysocki's impressive play was not without its challenges, however. He held a slim one-stroke lead over Calvin Heimburg entering the final round, but he managed to hold onto momentum and dominate the competition from that point forward. With Paul McBeth and Eagle McMahon in hot pursuit, Wysocki showed no signs of slowing down.

As the day wore on, it became clear that Wysocki was not going to be caught. He played with confidence, attacking the course when necessary and playing safe when required. The strategy paid off as he went up by two strokes over Heimburg with a birdie on the 10th hole and never looked back.

Wysocki's impressive display of golf earned him a 35-under-par finish, making him the only player to go bogey-free throughout the weekend. His final round score of 11 under par was matched by Kevin Jones, who finished fourth in the tournament.

Calvin Heimburg, the defending champion, put up a strong fight but ultimately came up short, finishing second at 31-under-par. Eagle McMahon rounded out the podium with a solid 10-under-par finish on Sunday.

But Wysocki wasn't the only one making waves at the Jonesboro Open. Catrina Allen took home her first Elite Series victory since the 2020 Ledgestone Insurance Open with an impressive performance that left no doubt about her dominance. The American disc golfer led the field in several key categories, including fairway hits and strokes gained tee-to-green.

Allen's victory was a testament to her hard work and dedication over the offseason. Despite facing some struggles on the course, she stuck to her plan and came out on top with an 8-stroke win. Her impressive display of golf earned her praise from fans and fellow competitors alike.

Paige Pierce finished in second place at 15-under-par, while Sarah Hokom rounded out the podium with a 13-under-par finish. Macie Walker, competing in only her third Elite Series event, finished fourth.

The PDGA National Tour will return to Emporia, Kansas for the Dynamic Discs Open on April 28-May 1, marking the next stop on the Elite Series schedule.
