MPO Recap

Round Two 

• Waco stayed true to its nickname (Wacky Waco) with a volatile leaderboard throughout the first two days. Ezra Robinson continued his strong start to 2025 with the hot round -12 on day one to take the lead. Calving Heimburg, Adam Hammes, Chris Dickerson, Nathan Queen, and Clay Edwards made up the jumbled tie in second place at -11 with four others (Locastro, Barsby, Meza, and Aderhold) shooting -10 at T7 after Friday.
  

Prodigy Presents WACO, the second stop on the 2025 DGPT season, delivered all the chaos and excitement fans have come to expect from the bEast, with a volatile leaderboard, jaw-dropping final rounds, and clutch performances down the stretch. Adam Hammes emerged victorious in MPO with a dominant Sunday push, while Kristin Tattar continued her reign in FPO, securing her third straight WACO title. From record-breaking rounds to dramatic finishes, this year’s event had it all—let’s dive into the action!

• Paul McBeth, Calvin Heimburg, and Anthony Barela applied the pressure in round two, climbing the leaderboard. Heimburg shot -10 to take the solo lead at 21 under par going into the final round. McBeth posted a ten under round to jump up nine spots, finishing at -19 good for a tie in second place with Adam Hammes. 
• AB shot nine under to put himself three back and in striking distance for the final day.
• Simon Lizotte made the largest leap on moving day. He shot -12 and jumped up 37 spots. His hot round put him at -17 in a tie for fifth with seven other players.
• Gannon Buhr shot a -7 round two, placing him at 15 under par, six strokes back of Calvin going into the final 18 holes at the BEAST.

Round One

• Consistency and -10 under or better rounds were the mainstays for the final day at WACO. Adam Hammes charged back, shot a -12, and secured his first win of the season. Hammes was consistent all day and clutch down the stretch. He eagled seven, parked 16, threw it within eight feet for the easy birdie on the difficult 17th, and cashed the circle two putt for the win on 18. 

• Heimburg, McBeth, and AB had slow final rounds that saw them drop out of contention.
• Simon Lizotte battled Hammes from chase card also posting a -12 final round. He birdied eight of the final nine holes to shoot -29 for the tournament and secure second place.
• Nikko Locastro shot up the leaderboard from 12th to a T3 finish, an event he won in 2021. He and Evan Smith finished at -27 for the tournament.
• Andrew Marwede, Evan Scott, and Gannon Buhr all ended the tournament in a tie for fifth place at 26 under par.  
• Ezra Robinson started Sunday with seven straight birdies, but a cold back nine (only two under) halted his attempt at back-to-back pro tour victories to start the season. 
• Jake Monn went on a tear in the final round, birdieing nine of the opening ten holes. He ended the tournament with the hot round for the day -15 (1082 rated) to finish in T-26th. His round matched Paul McBeth’s 18 under at WACO in 2019 based on total strokes*. By that metric, he is now a co-owner of the course record for the bEast (49).

*Note: While a few holes have been slightly tweaked, there is only an 8-foot delta in total difference, and the layout of the bEast remains the same. Without the par change, two of Monn’s pars would have been birdies in 2019, and one of his birdies would have been an eagle, bringing his total score to -18. Congrats on a hugely impressive round, Jake!

MPO Takeaways

• Adam Hammes played consistent disc golf all weekend and clutched up when it counted on Sunday to earn his first elite series victory since the Portland Open in 2023. Hammes has all the tools, and this could be the win that sparks him towards multiple top performances this season.
• Ezra Robinson was right there for two days; he just didn’t have a strong back nine to match the hot start to his final round.
• Calvin had two bad holes in the final round (bogey on nine and a triple on 17). Mix that with a slow round overall and at a course like WACO where the hot round was at or above twelve under all weekend, and you get a recipe for a lost opportunity on Sunday.
• The lackluster final rounds from Calvin, AB, and Paul were surprising. It will be interesting to see how these three bounce back next week at The Open at Austin where they will have two different courses to show their skills (Sprinkle Valley & Harvey Penick 
• Ricky Wysocki had a tough weekend. He shot two under in the opening round and fought to recover after that (-7 and -9) to end up in a tie for 38th at -18. After a top 5 finish at the Supreme Flight Open, Ricky will try to reset for the last Texas event and gain some momentum again going into Music City and Kansas City. 

Round One

• Going into Sunday, Lätt (-14) had to hold off Blomroos in 2nd (-12), Weese in third (-11), Handley in fourth (-10), and Gannon and Hansen at -8. She did just that, pulling away early and shooting a nine-under final round to take down her third straight WACO title.

• The race for second between Blomroos and Handley came down to the wire. Handley birdied 16 and 18 to overtake Blomroos and secure solo second place at -16. Blomroos went par, par, bogey to end her day and drop to third.
• Rebecca Cox had a record-setting Sunday. She shot the course record -11, moved into the top ten, and shot the highest-rated round of her career, 1035.
• Jessica Weese had a great weekend, finishing tied for 6th at 11 under par.

FPO Takeaways

• Kristin is back in the States and continues to own WACO. She secured her third straight WACO Annual Charity Open title on Sunday, shooting -23 to win by seven. She pulled away from the pack through the first six holes of the final day and put an exclamation point on her 3-peat by parking 14 and draining a 32-foot birdie putt on 15 to walk in her victory.
• Missy Gannon fought hard in the final round, stringing together four birdies in a row on the back nine on Sunday, but OB strokes on 16 and 17 left her with back-to-back double bogeys, which ended her chances for a podium finish. Missy cashed a 40-footer for birdie on 18 to finish at 12 under par and in a tie for fourth with Ella Hansen.
• Handley and Blomroos had great finishes this weekend. They have the tools and skills to be towards the top of the leaderboard at most events this season, and they could snag a win or two. 

Adam Hammes has finished in 19th and 14th at the Open at Austin the past two seasons. I think the momentum from his first win in over a season will propel him to a top-ten finish this weekend.
FPO Players to watch at the Open at Austin:

• Kristin is back, and that’s not good for the rest of the FPO field. She is the clear favorite headed into the Open at Austin after her win this weekend.
• Blomroos, Handley, and Missy Gannon could stay in the hunt with Kristin and even push for the win on the final day. 
• Ohn Scoggins, who won Austin last year, has two top-ten finishes to open her season (6th at SFO and 8th at WACO). She’s played well at Harvey Penick, and she took home 4th place at Sprinkle Valley last year when it hosted the USWDGC. Despite lacking a podium finish so far this season, Ohn is going to have all the confidence going into Austin this week.
