The back nine at Olympus on Championship Sunday – treacherous, dramatic, and everything you could want from the final round of the season opener. Ricky Wysocki carried a three-shot lead at 19-under, with Chandler Kramer at 16-under and Paul McBeth and Kyle Klein both at 15-under. From the chase card, Gannon Buhr was already making noise. Commentary by Jomez.
Hole 10 | Par 3 | 370 ft | Tunnel shot, new pin position
The tight gap and hillside green demanded precision, and the lead card delivered mixed results. Wysocki parked it – vintage Ricky, pure and simple. Another birdie to pad his lead. Kramer was “diming it” according to the commentators, threading a beautiful forehand to set up a birdie of his own. McBeth navigated safely for par. Klein had trouble on the green and three-putted for bogey – his third three-putt of the round, a trend that was costing him dearly. With Ricky’s birdie, McBeth was now five back with eight to go.
Results: Wysocki birdie | Kramer birdie | McBeth par | Klein bogey
Hole 11 | Par 4 | 545 ft | Redesigned, much harder in 2026
A star frame to start the back nine. McBeth went away from the forehand play he’d used in rounds one and two, and the backhand result was excellent. Klein threw a gorgeous shot into position – “the anglemeister” doing what he does. Kramer converted from 20 feet, and Wysocki just kept rolling. All four birdies. “This is such a stupid, ridiculous start,” the commentators laughed, marveling at the fireworks. The entire lead card was going low.
Results: All birdies (star frame)
Hole 12 | Par 3 | 530 ft | Downhill ~90 ft, big forehand hole
Four forehands off the tee, plus Klein’s surprise backhand that “just continues to surprise us.” From the chase card, Sullivan Tipton threw an absolute bullseye – two feet from the pin, so snappy it didn’t even need the skip. A quick shoutout to Luke Taylor, who went from nine-over in round one to shooting 11-under in the final round, finishing 25th. Wysocki collected another birdie – his third in a row on the back nine. Kramer also converted the birdie. McBeth and Klein settled for pars.
Results: Wysocki birdie | Kramer birdie | McBeth par | Klein par
Hole 13 | Par 3 | 452 ft | New hole, three guardian trees
A hole that simply doesn’t favor the forehand – “forehands just don’t quite get there” at 452 feet with a low ceiling. Kramer gave it everything with his forehand but couldn’t get close enough for a birdie look. Wysocki beat the guardian trees but missed from about 45 feet – a putt he’d normally want to make, his third miss of the day on makeable putts. “He’s given the field an opportunity,” the commentators noted. McBeth and Klein both managed pars. From the chase card, Gannon Buhr was now through 13 at 18-under, just one back of Kramer. The pressure was building from below.
Results: All pars
Hole 14 | Par 4 | 764 ft | Uphill, must clear the crest
A check-in with Gannon showed he was making his presence felt – “haven’t talked about him once, and then back nine, here he is at 21-under.” A stunning run from the chase card. Back on the lead card, McBeth threw a beautiful hyzer forehand that the commentators raved about. Klein fired a great approach as well. Wysocki saved par with a clutch approach after finding some trouble off the tee – “four ahead if you can save par here, you got what it takes kid.” And he did, slamming it in for the save. Kramer’s forehand limitations showed on the approach, and the par was a reasonable result from a tough spot.
Results: Wysocki birdie | McBeth birdie | Klein birdie | Kramer par
Hole 15 | Par 5 | 962 ft | Straight downhill bomber
The signature moment of Championship Sunday. Gannon Buhr uncorked a 630-foot drive that left the commentators speechless – “the farthest driver I’ve ever seen on this hole” – and converted the eagle to reach 21-under. The pressure was squarely on Wysocki. Ricky answered in the most dramatic way possible. He went for the green, pulling out a turbo putt that just barely cleared the danger. “Huge putt for Rick, and he’s seven down the last nine. Vintage Rick.” The eagle fist pump was the first real Ricky moment of the day – the crowd erupted. McBeth and Klein both converted birdies on the par 5. Kramer played it safe for par.
Results: Wysocki eagle | McBeth birdie | Klein birdie | Kramer par
Hole 16 | Par 4 | 695 ft | Tricky tee shot, anhyzer required
The wheels started coming off for Kramer. Kramer’s forehand turnover “was just a turnover gone bad” – a big-time mistake on a hole that demands a backhand flex shot. The bogey was his first stumble of the back nine. McBeth delivered a birdie to continue his torrid finish, now three straight. Klein also birdied. Wysocki saved par with another clutch scramble from trouble. Ricky was still four ahead, but Gannon wouldn’t stop pushing from behind.
Results: McBeth birdie | Klein birdie | Wysocki par | Kramer bogey
Hole 17 | Par 4 | 550 ft | Obtainable birdie, but treacherous OB
Ricky found trouble again – “don’t do something silly now” – with his disc finishing in a precarious spot that brought double bogey into play. He used one of his two time extensions under the new 2026 rules, took a deep breath, and delivered a gutsy standstill approach across the pond to save par. The tournament was on the line and he fought through it. McBeth continued his incredible close with another birdie – four in a row now. Klein matched him. Kramer took another bogey despite a crushed drive, the back-to-back bogeys dropping him out of third. The commentators praised his tournament regardless – “an outstanding, expectation-shattering performance for a guy who didn’t want to play because the course just didn’t set up to his style.”
Results: McBeth birdie | Klein birdie | Wysocki par | Kramer bogey
Hole 18 | Par 4 | 680 ft | The iconic cliff-to-cliff finisher
The finale was pure drama. Gannon Buhr had already finished his round – a course-record 13-under 52 (unofficially rated 1095) to reach 23-under. Ricky needed a single bogey or better to clinch the win. He went sidearm off the tee and found OB short – “Ricky, stop giving us drama, dude.” The scramble left him at 18-under after the penalty. He went backhand on his approach and got it safely inbounds. Game over. McBeth capped his round with a fifth straight birdie – an absurd close to a round that started with a triple bogey. Klein also birdied to finish a strong back nine. Kramer ended on a high note with a birdie of his own, bringing his tournament to a close at 18-under.
Results: McBeth birdie | Klein birdie | Kramer birdie | Wysocki bogey

Ricky Wysocki is your 2026 Discraft’s Supreme Flight Open champion. It had been 581 days since his last tour victory, and you could see it in the emotion on 15 and the relief on 18. “I’ve made it a lot more interesting than it should have been,” Ricky said in the post-round interview, “but that’s part of winning – you’ve got to be able to fight through to the very end.”
Gannon Buhr stole the show from the chase card with a course-record 13-under 52, the kind of round that announces a player is ready to dominate. He birdied or eagled eight of his last nine holes. McBeth showed that his game is in peak form despite the triple bogey opener – five straight birdies to close the tournament on his home course. Klein would have been in the thick of it without those three-putts – six strokes lost on the greens. And Kramer, the Monday qualifier who wasn’t even sure he wanted to play, walked away tied for fifth in his first lead card appearance of the season.
