When it mattered most, Missy Gannon and Ricky Wysocki delivered.

After three rounds of tight competition with a number of players in contention, Gannon and Wysocki simply delivered championship performances in Sunday’s finale at the DGPT – Discraft Ledgestone Open presented by Bushnell.

Gannon, who has competed in Peoria, Illinois since the beginning of her career, entered Sunday tied with Paige Pierce. Wysocki, the two-time defending champion at Ledgestone, had one one-stroke lead and a handful of players firmly in the mix.

There weren’t too many moves at the top on moving day as the leaders set themselves up for a furious finish in Illinois.

Paige Pierce and Missy Gannon are knotted up in FPO and it’s a five-player race in MPO heading into Championship Sunday at the Disc Golf Pro Tour – Discraft Ledgestone Open presented by Bushnell.

Missy Gannon is in a good spot, mentally and on the course. Lisa Fajkus turned in another solid round and is two strokes back. Kristin Tattar didn’t have the best finish but is only three strokes back. Paige Pierce had the hottest round and will join the lead card.

In MPO, Anthony Barela and Gannon Buhr survived Northwood Black and maintain their spots on the top of the leaderboard. They’re joined by Ricky Wysocki as the third co-leader. Paul McBeth had the hottest round and will join the lead card.

Kristin Tattar is back stateside and back in a familiar spot: On top of the leaderboard.

Gannon Buhr didn’t go anywhere, but he’s in a familiar position as well after the first of four rounds of the DGPT – Discraft Ledgestone Open presented by Bushnell.

The race, as has usually been the case in the 2022 season, is tight.

Returning to Elite Series action for the first time since May (which was a win), Tattar battled through a lingering injury for a 5-under round at Northwood Black to make her Ledgestone debut and lead by one stroke over Lisa Fajkus and Missy Gannon.

Kevin Kiefer saw his chance and took it.

After jumping into competition, finding success, and seizing the opportunity, Kiefer hit the road with a strong support system and hasn’t looked back.

“I left in February, and I haven’t been back since,” he said. “I’ve been on tour full-time, and I’ve loved every second of it.”

He no doubt enjoyed Thursday at Lake Eureka to open the 2022 DGPT – Ledgestone Open. Kiefer turned in one of just two bogey-free rounds and finds himself in solo third heading into round two.
