Ricky Wysocki would not be denied.

After surging from the chase card heading into Championship Sunday, Wysocki battled all the way to his sixth title in the Lone Star State at the Disc Golf Pro Tour – 27th Annual Texas State Disc Golf Championship presented by Latitude 64.

To clarify, that’s six titles in six attempts at the Texas State Disc Golf Championships.

Paige Pierce impressed herself a few times. Paul McBeth wasn’t really satisfied.

Both are on top of the Disc Golf Pro Tour – 27th Annual Texas State Disc Golf Championship presented by Latitude 64 after round one, and both want more.

“My drive on the first par five – I made myself go ‘woo,’ same with my upshot on hole 2,” Pierce said. “I had some good shots today that impressed myself and that’s what I’m looking for as a competitor.

“I don’t want to be content. I want to throw shots that impress myself and make me want to strive to hit it again."
