Wysocki Dominates PDGA Champions Cup Midway Point

The midway point of the first PDGA Major of the year has seen Ricky Wysocki assert his dominance, claiming an 11-under par score with a bogey-free second round at the W.R. Jackson course. This impressive performance leaves him three strokes clear of the competition heading into the weekend at the PDGA Champions Cup presented by Bushnell.

Wysocki's focus on clean rounds has been key to his success, as he emphasized the importance of avoiding mistakes in the game. "I only had one bogey (Thursday) and no bogies today – that’s what it’s going to take to win, playing clean rounds like that," he said. Wysocki's confidence is high, with a clear understanding of where his discs are going and their intended landing spots.

However, Wysocki's move to the top was just one of several significant developments on Friday. Austin Hannum put in an astonishing performance, carding a 12-under par score of 56 to set a new course record at W.R. Jackson. His impressive round catapulted him 26 places into a tie for second place.

Hannum's day went smoothly, with an impressive fairway hit rate of 81% and perfect scrambling from C1X. He also showcased his accuracy by making putts from distances of 74 and 60 feet. When asked about his record-breaking round, Hannum downplayed its significance, saying "It was a normal day... I just kept hitting the aggressive lines because it was feeling good today."

Chris Dickerson and Mason Ford followed closely behind with 10-under par scores, moving them into contention and keeping them within three strokes of Wysocki. The leaderboard is set to remain dynamic on Saturday as 17 players vie for top honors, all within six shots of the lead.

The action continues tomorrow at the PDGA Champions Cup presented by Bushnell, with live coverage beginning at 2:30 p.m. ET on the Disc Golf Network.
