Wysocki Sets Course Record in Thrilling Second Round of Dynamic Discs Open

The sun shone brightly on day two of the 2021 Dynamic Discs Open, as players battled it out on the Jones Gold course after a rain-soaked first round. The conditions proved to be favorable for many, and several players took advantage of the attackable layout.

Ricky Wysocki emerged as one of the leaders, breaking away from the pack with an incredible performance that earned him not only a spot at the top of the leaderboard but also a new course record. After sinking an eagle on the par-5 12th hole, Wysocki found himself just a single stroke off the pace for a perfect score.

Despite playing Jones Gold blind during the first round due to an unexpected visit to his ailing sister, Wysocki was able to adjust quickly and capitalize on the course's weaknesses. He demonstrated exceptional accuracy with his drivers, hitting 85% of fairways, which allowed him to focus solely on his long-range putting game.

Wysocki's impressive display resulted in 13 birdies and an eagle, securing a record-breaking score of 15-under-par. His remarkable performance marked the highlight of day two, as he joined Ben Callaway, Eagle McMahon, and Calvin Heimburg at the top of the MPO leaderboard.

Ben Callaway, who has been making waves with his hot start in consecutive PDGA Elite Series events, continued to showcase his putting prowess. With a career-best 1073-rated (unofficial) score, he demonstrated exceptional accuracy from circle 2, sinking three crucial putts and hitting two of four attempts from circle 2.

Callaway's confidence was evident as he outlined his plan for the remainder of the event: "If the wind picks up, I'll be throwing the same shots I was throwing here. And just keep making those putts." This strategy seems to have worked well so far, with Callaway consistently delivering strong performances throughout the tournament.

Eagle McMahon nearly matched Wysocki's record score but faltered on the challenging par-4 18th hole, settling for a bogey and dropping him from contention. However, his display was nothing short of spectacular, featuring an astonishing eagle on the par-4 8th hole that caught commentator Jeremy Koling off guard.

McMahon expressed his plan for the final rounds: "The fundamentals are still the same – go out there and throw it between the lines and take the birdies when they come. Being tied for the lead after the first two days, I'm in great position, and tomorrow is when the real golf starts."

Calvin Heimburg, despite not making as many highlight-reel shots as his co-leaders, accumulated a similar number of birdies to Wysocki and Callaway. With his powerful drive and precise shot shape, he presents an excellent challenge for the rest of the field.

As the players take on the Emporia Country Club course in day three, the competition is expected to be fierce. Live coverage begins at 1:00 p.m. CT on the Disc Golf Network, with viewers eager to see how the story unfolds.
