USDGC - DGWT Finale
Round 1
Jeremy Koling proves why he won last year by leading after the first round at -9
There were a total of 10 eagles during round 1, 3 of them by Kevin Jones
Round 2
Apparently there was a slight altercation between Barsby and the spotter for hole 17
His first shot rolled OB, the spotter didn’t retrieve his disc before it floated away and Barsby was very irritated
Barsby ended shooting a double bogey and at the time was in 1st by 2 strokes
Nate Sexton shoots hot round of -9 to take the lead over Koling by one stroke
Three way tie for 3rd between Owens, Barsby, and Wysocki, two back of Big Jerm
Nate Sexton / AJ Risley tee time mixup
AJ was put on the lead card, Sexton on chase card
Sexton has the lower PDGA number
Duvall stated via DGCR that they had an issue when sorting ties out after round 1. Round 2 tee times were already posted before they found the error and felt it easier to go with already posted tee times
Should they have fixed the error or left as is?
Round 3
Sexton and Wysocki both shoot a -10 for the Moving Day hot round
Nate holds on to 1st place with a 3 stroke lead over Wysocki
Round 4
Sexton finally win his first well-deserved Major event and is the new USDGC Champion!
Hall of Fame Classic - National Tour event
Winners: Ricky Wysocki and Catrina Allen
Wysocki was able to win a playoff between himself, McBeth, and Lizotte in a sudden death playoff.
McBeth and Lizotte tied for 2nd
National Tour Points Winners
Paige Pierce take the NT points win by 14 points over Catrina Allen
McBeth holds onto the NT points win by just 5 points over Wysocki
DGPT Championships presented by Prodigy
Paige Pierce was able to add another win to her total for 2017 as well as the DGPT points win
As the field shrank down to the final 5 in the men’s division, the battle came down to McBeth and Wysocki once again
McBeth’s drive on hole 18 put him in early trouble from which he wasn’t able to recover, leaving him tied with Lizotte for 2nd and giving Wysocki the win and the overall DGPT points win as well
