Catrina Allen dropped an 11-under par 55 in her final round at the Play It Again Sports Jonesboro Open to take over second place. The round was her best of the weekend and netted a 1019 unofficial rating. 

Allen started the day two back of the second spot and was firing on all cylinders from the jump. She birdied the first five holes with two parked shots, a pair of Circle 1 putts, and a Circle 2 putt for good measure. She bounced back from a bogey on hole 6 with a birdie on hole 7 and added seven more by the end of the round.

Allen also locked up second place in the Disc Golf Pro Tour standings with the 20-under 178 total headed into The Tour Championship next week in Charlotte, N.C. following this week's Women's National Championship in Rock Hill, S.C.

Chris Dickerson steadily improved his score by one in each round, landing himself in a tie for fourth at the end of the event. His final round 9-under was his top mark and included a string of five birdies from holes 6 through 10 following a bogey on hole 5. He kept the putter hot throughout the weekend, finishing second with a 97 percent clip from inside the circle, missing just one Circle 1x putt on the final day.

Alden Harris followed up his first A-Tier win with another top notch showing at Disc Side of Heaven, posting a bogey-free 11-down to finish the event in a tie for seventh. That was just one off the hot round for the weekend. Luke Humphries added a 15th place finish with Kevin Jones tying for 16th place. Sam Lee joined the top-25 with his tied for 24th finish.
