Wysocki Wins Thrilling Playoff at Beaver State Fling
Date Published

Ricky Wysocki has done it again. After a long and grueling battle with Paul McBeth at the Beaver State Fling, Wysocki emerged victorious in a thrilling two-hole playoff. This win marks his second on the PDGA National Tour this season, and sets him up for what promises to be an exciting World Championships.
The drama began in earnest as Wysocki and McBeth matched pars through 18 holes, each determined to outlast the other. The tension was palpable as they took their places at the first playoff hole, with Wysocki ultimately emerging from the shadows with a clutch birdie putt on hole two. This marked his second win of the season, and cemented his position as one of the top players in the sport.
Wysocki's victory was not without its challenges, however. McBeth pushed him hard throughout the tournament, and it seemed for a time that the two would be locked in a stalemate. But Wysocki persevered, drawing on his mental toughness to overcome obstacles and ultimately secure the win.
The key moment came on hole 18, where Wysocki launched a daring approach shot that left him with a tap-in par. McBeth's subsequent miss gave Wysocki new life, and he seized it by sinking the birdie putt on hole two. The crowd erupted in cheers as Wysocki celebrated his victory, but for him, the true reward lies ahead.
With Worlds just around the corner, Wysocki is more confident than ever that he has what it takes to claim the title. "I'm 100 percent confident," he said after the win. "As long as I'm 100 percent confident, that's all I can ask for going into Worlds." With momentum on his side and a renewed sense of focus, Wysocki is poised to make a strong run at the championship.
Meanwhile, Eagle McMahon finished in third place, a testament to his growing skills and determination. He has set his sights on a top three finish at Worlds, and has promised to celebrate with a bold new hairstyle if he achieves it. "I've been telling people that if I win this tournament or take top 3 at Worlds, I'm getting purple hair," he said with a grin.
As the pro circuit shifts its focus to Augusta, Georgia, all eyes are on Wysocki and his team as they prepare for the biggest event of the season. Will they be able to bring home the gold? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: Ricky Wysocki is ready for whatever comes next.
The rest of the field at the Beaver State Fling saw Philo Brathwaite go bogey-free for a second day in a row, moving up to sixth place alongside Nate Doss and Steve Rico. Josh Anthon notched a ninth place showing with his 18-under par 226, while Zach Melton broke into the top ten at a National Tour event for the first time this season with his 16-under par 228.
As the pro circuit now shifts its attention to Worlds, all eyes are on the Fort Gordon military base and the International Disc Golf Center. McMahon is looking to refine his control game and mental fortitude ahead of the main event, while Wysocki remains focused on bringing home the title.
