Chris Dickerson is staying fresh in the pair of weeks ahead of the Disc Golf Pro Tour's final regular season event at the Jonesboro Open. Dickerson made his way to Madisonville, Ky., to win the 12th Annual Madisonville Open, one of several A-Tiers on the weekend slate.

He opened with a 15-under par 54, which was good for an eight stroke lead after just one round. His 1071-rated effort was bogey-free and came with two eagles on the scorecard. Dickerson kept his foot on the gas in round two, finishing just one stroke off the hot score. He erased his only bogey with another eagle and stretched his lead to double digits. 

Dickerson didn't let up on the final day with another unblemished scorecard that put him on top of the leaderboard by a final margin of 15 strokes after another hot round. He racked up most of his 39-under total on the course's back nine. Over the three rounds, he averaged 8.33-under which included a 10-under with all birdies and an eagle the first round. He never took more than two pars in the back half.

Sam Lee also fared well at the event, finishing in a sixth place tie to solidify his spot inside the top-10. It was Dickerson's second A-Tier win of the year and he'll have another one coming up this week as part of a stacked Music City Open Field in Nashville, Tenn, that will feature Cameron Colglazier, Matt Orum, Will Schusterick and Catrina Allen among others.
