2018 Jonesboro Open

Steve Hill and Sara Lamberson recap the action from the Amateur World Doubles Championships (1:40) before breaking down the Jonesboro Open. Ricky Wysocki got his first win of the year (6:27), Garrett Gurthie put on a show (11:11), and Paige Pierce continues to dominate (22:56). Eric Oakley shares a pro tip (43:01) before Gurthie stops by to talk about his decision to return to tour (44:10). Later, the hosts look ahead to this week’s National Collegiate Disc Golf Championships in South Carolina (1:00:30).

In order to find the last time Ricky Wysocki went until April without a victory, you have to go all the way back to 2010, when he won a one-day C-Tier on May 8.

Paige Pierce took a six-shot lead into a frigid Sunday morning final at the Jonesboro Open, and it’s safe to say that, despite slightly higher temperatures than a snowy Saturday round, her scorecard heated up before she did.

If the story from day one of the Jonesboro Open was course records, Saturday was about weather records.

Springtime in Arkansas turned into a winter wonderland overnight and the mercury dipped to 28 degrees, matching the record low for the same day from 1994. Morning tee shots resembled slap shots as players slid across pads, and even when the snow let up the wind did not.

If it seems like Garrett Gurthie is playing like a man trying to make up for lost time, perhaps that's because he is. 

Plenty changed in the three years he was away from disc golf, and the Florida native took notice. Now back on tour full time, he's making good on his decision to hit the road. And he's ready for his close-up.

Paige Pierce wasn’t even supposed to play in the Jonesboro Open.
