Round 3 of the 2017 PDGA Pro World Championships in Augusta, Georgia is in the bag and it is no longer a close race. The big story out of round 3 is definitely Ricky Wysocki, who managed to shoot a lights out round, going -13 down on the W.R. Jackson Memorial Course! After his hot -12 down round yesterday in round 2, this move on day 3 has put Ricky solidly in first place with an 8 stroke lead on 2nd place place Adam Hammes who shot -10 down for the day.
Unfortunately, Johne McCray wasn't able to keep the momentum going after his amazing first round and ended round 3 shooting -4 down to put him tied for 3rd with Simon Lizotte, both sitting at -24 down for the tournament.
Rounding out the top 8 is Chris Dickerson and Paul McBeth, both sitting at -22 down, Devan Owens at -21 down, and Nate Doss at -20 down.
Tomorrow is the final round of the 2017 world championships and the players will once again be back on the Marine/Navy course at Fort Gordon to finish up the event. I will be on site at the event tomorrow and will have some live updates, photos and video to share with you all for the final day of the event, so stay tuned!
Even though Ricky Wysocki is 8 strokes ahead, there's still a full round left to play, so anything can happen; however, at this point, it seems highly likely that Ricky will be able to successfully defend his world champion title and bring home back-to-back wins.
