“I was point A to point B and I scrambled to save par,” Wysocki said of his third round. “I think that’s a great gameplan – I have the ability to be aggressive when I need to and that’s in my back pocket if I need it.
“It was a fun battle back and forth,” Pierce said. “I didn’t check scores, but I just knew that I took a two and she took a four on some holes and it was back and forth.
Calculated and clean, Ricky Wysocki is on top at the midway point of the first PDGA Major of the year.
With an 11-under, bogey-free second round, Wysocki is now clear of the field by three strokes heading into the weekend at the PDGA Champions Cup presented by Bushnell, a large margin considering how this field has attacked W.R. Jackson.
“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,” Wysocki said. “I’m just in control of my game right now. I know where my discs are going, and I know my landing spots.”
Tattar fired off the hot round on Friday on W.R. Jackson to build a four-stroke lead. One stroke off that pace was Pierce, who jumped nine spots into solo second place, setting a showdown between the two highest-rated players in the world.

W.R. Jackson bent, but didn’t break on Thursday as the best in the sport returned for the first time in nearly three years for the inaugural PDGA Champions Cup presented by Bushnell.
Casey White and Corey Ellis turned in 11-under, 57s on Thursday, tying the course record at the revered track to take a one-shot lead over six more players that also found double digits in the first of four rounds at the International Disc Golf Center in Appling, Georgia.

Holly Finley was among the first players to start a new chapter of PDGA Majors when she teed off on Thursday during the inaugural PDGA Champions Cup presented by Bushnell.
She’ll be one of the last to tee off during round two.
Finley set the early pace at W.R. Jackson at the International Disc Golf Center with a 4-under to open the debut of the PDGA’s new Major, a score which held on the rest of the day on Thursday.

The course is primed. The field is stacked. The pressure is amplified.
It’s time to crown a PDGA Major champion.
For the first time since 2019, elite professional disc golf returns to the revered W.R. Jackson course at the International Disc Golf Center for the inaugural PDGA Champions Cup presented by Bushnell.
The four-round event debuts Thursday and runs through Sunday, giving the elite field the opportunity to secure their legacy on the course as a Major champion in the spring.
A few hours after the Missouri women completed a dominant win, the Tiger men followed suite with a victory of their own, catching fire down the stretch to leave Marion, North Carolina the same way they came in, No. 1, and complete the sweep.
