Wysocki Lights Up Nevin Park, Sets Course Record in DGPT Championship
Date Published
The drama is unfolding at the 2023 Disc Golf Pro Tour Championship presented by Barbasol, where Ricky Wysocki has ignited the competition with a scorching 10-under-par round on Saturday at Nevin Park in Charlotte, North Carolina. This incredible feat not only shattered the course record but also catapulted him to the top of the leaderboard heading into the final day.
Wysocki's remarkable turnaround came after an even-par start through seven holes, as he proceeded to birdie eight consecutive shots within the treacherous woods of Matt Keatts Memorial DGC. Adding a flourish to his finish, Wysocki landed two more birdies, making him the first player in this year's competition to breach double digits over the weekend.
Kyle Klein, fresh from claiming the USDGC title, is now hot on Wysocki's heels with a 7-under-par performance that equalled the previous course record. The reigning PDGA World Champion Isaac Robinson finds himself three strokes behind Wysocki, while Adam Hammes maintains his podium position at 5-under-par after an impressive surge during Friday's semifinal round.
The top four players in Men's Pro (MPO) are separated by just five strokes with only 18 holes left to play. Calvin Heimburg holds the fifth spot, tied for sixth with Niklas Anttila and Cole Redalen at 2-under-par each.
In the women's competition, Ohn Scoggins has taken control of the lead with a second consecutive day of scorching form, shooting a 5-under-par to push her lead to two strokes. The North Carolinian ace dominated from Circle 1 X and showed off her skills by hitting a perfect shot on the Circle 2 late in her round.
Kat Mertsch currently sits in second place with a 3-under-par performance that earned her some crucial birdies at the circle's edge, while Missy Gannon trails by one stroke. Ali Smith rounds out the top four, holding onto the final spot with a plus-1 scoreline.
