Nevin Park was broken.

Ricky Wysocki torched the woods in Charlotte, North Carolina on Saturday to open the sprint-to-the-finish finals of the 2023 Disc Golf Pro Tour Championship presented by Barbasol.

Wysocki set the course record with a 10-under round after the cut was made and the scores were reset heading into the weekend at the final Elite Series event of the year.

After starting even par through seven holes, Wysocki birdied the next eight in the daunting woods of Matt Keatts Memorial DGC and added a birdie-birdie finish to become the first player to hit double digits on the weekend. Wysocki was stellar off the need and fairway with just three Circle 2 looks all day.

Not far behind is the newly crowned USDGC champion Kyle Klein, who matched the previous course record with a 7-under showing. He’s three back of Wysocki with 18 holes to go.

No. 1 seed Calvin Heimburg is at 2-under, tied for sixth with Cole Redalen and Niklas Anttila.
