Mason Ford never blinked.

Not when he held a one-stroke lead over the best players in the world. Not when one of those players surged to the top of the leaderboard not once, but twice. Not when the pressure of his first PDGA Elite Series win was do-or-die.

“I feel like I prepared really well for the event,” Ford said Sunday in Nashville. “I was very confident on the course. I never doubted myself. Even when I threw a bad shot, I trusted my game, trusted me putt and left it in God’s hands.”

Hailey King competed in the dogwoods of Texas, the plains of Kansas and for four days in Nashville with the best players in the world on the 2021 PDGA National Tour.

She conquered them all.

King wrapped up the 2021 PDGA National Tour Championship and her third National Tour win of 2021 with a strong finish at the 2021 Music City Open presented by Dynamic Discs on Sunday.

A couple of trends continued on Sunday at the 2021 PDGA National Tour Finale - Music City Open prestned by Dynamic Discs.

On the MPO side, Mason Ford joined a list of first-time National Tour winners in a season that saw five different winners on the NT.

There have been 30 players overall to win at least two PDGA National Tour titles. Twenty-one players since the NT was formed in 2003 have won three or more.

Hailey King has joined the 30 and is closing in on joining the three-title club.

King had one of the hot rounds and added to her lead Saturday as action of the 2021 PDGA National Tour Finale – Music City Open presented by Dynamic Discs shifted to Mill Ridge in Nashville.

Pressure applied.

That’s what Ricky Wysocki did on Saturday at the Music City Open presented by Dynamic Discs and now, the two-time PDGA World Champion is looking to add his 16th PDGA National Tour title to his collection, as well as wrap up the 2021 NT points series title.

Wysocki torched the Mill Ridge track on Saturday to the tune of a 1077-rated, 12-under round to jump from the chase card into solo possession of the lead with 18 holes to play at the 2021 PDGA National Tour finale.
