WACO, Texas – Sprinting 77 feet down the green of the 53rd hole of the weekend, Nikko Locastro let everyone know with a fist pump, a shout and a spin that he wasn’t going to let this one slip away.

Kona Panis delivered a message of her own and did so through a dominant 54-hole victory.

It was a windy round one in Waco, Texas, as sustained winds of 20 mph wreaked havoc on the competitors of the Disc Golf Pro Tour - Waco Annual Charity Open presented by Prodigy. When the dust settled, it was Gavin Rathbun and Kona Panis on top of their respective divisions.

After a strong and highly-anticipated start to the season in the desert, the 2021 PDGA Elite Series now shifts to the beastly woods in Texas for the Waco Annual Charity Open presented by Prodigy Disc, the second stop on the 2021 Disc Golf Pro Tour.

Beginning Friday, the elite field will compete at Brazos East Park, affectionately and aptly nicknamed 'The Beast,' in Waco, Texas. The three-round event concludes Sunday.

Eagle McMahon's finish at the DGPT - Las Vegas Challenge presented by Innova was nothing short of dominant. Paige Pierce's road to victory came down to the 72nd hole of the season opener.

It all led to a thrilling kickoff to the 2021 PDGA Elite Series.

McMahon's dominance started on the back nine of the third round on Saturday and, over the final 27 holes, the Colorado native finished at a blistering 23 under par to grab his second Las Vegas Challenge title.
