2017 National Tour

2017 National Tour

Series points from a player’s top four PDGA National Tour finishes from the first five events plus the points from the 2017 Disc Golf Hall of Fame Classic are totaled to determine the National Tour Elite Series Champion. Players that competed in all of the first five events will have their lowest score dropped. In those cases, the dropped score will be crossed out in the table below, as it does not count towards the score in their Total column.

A nine-shot win would have been plenty for Catrina Allen at the Ed Headrick Disc Golf Hall of Fame Classic, but an unlucky number proved to be even better.

A crash of chains, then an audible groan of agony from the gallery.

Another crash, this time followed by a guttural scream of “Let’s go!”

Then, celebration.

After 54 holes weren’t enough to decide the Ed Headrick Disc Golf Hall of Fame Classic, it was only fitting that the event came down to a playoff between two surefire future Hall of Famers.

It’s no secret Ricky Wysocki has been a dominant force on the course over the last two seasons. Yesterday at the Ed Headrick Disc Golf Hall of Fame Classic, though, he unleashed havoc during the most unexpected moment: a backup.

If Catrina Allen’s first round was “Steady,” her second round at the Ed Headrick Disc Golf Hall of Fame Classic’s W.R. Jackson Memorial Course was scorching by comparison. Not only was her 1000-rated performance the best in the field, giving her a nine-stroke advantage over second place, but it was also the only to register under par on the event’s second day.

After tangling with the ropes of Winthrop Gold last weekend on the way to a season-low 64th place showing at the United States Disc Golf Championship, James Conrad was ready to return to his natural habitat.

“I was obviously not stoked on how I finished out there,” the 27-year-old Virginia pro said. “I was looking forward to getting back into the woods — courses I like a little more.”

Catrina Allen managed to live up to the nickname of disc golf’s founder at the event and course named in his honor, keeping things “Steady” as she took the lead after the first day of the Ed Headrick Disc Golf Hall of Fame Classic.

Welcome to the 2017 Ed Headrick Disc Golf Hall of Fame Classic presented by ProActive Sports Disc Golf (HOFC), the only event that brings the top touring pros together with many of the most prominent and most important historical figures of the sport. With all the PDGA Majors completed for the year, this event, the finale of the PDGA National Tour, serves as one of the last top-tier tournaments of 2017.

Catrina Allen entered the final round of the Pittsburgh Flying Disc Open with just a two-stroke advantage over Paige Pierce, but left with an eight-stroke win after a 1008-rated performance. The victory is her first on the PDGA National Tour in 2017 and comes just over a month after her biggest win of the season at the European Open.
