CHAMPION. LET’S JOIN ANDY STEVENSON WITH OUR WINNERS. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WHAT A WONDERFUL WEEK IT’S BEEN HERE. WELCOME TO THE TROPHY PRESENTATIONS. WITHOUT FURTHER ADIEU, I WILL HAND YOU OVER TO THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEMBER. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WHAT A TRULY INSPIRATIONAL WEEK IT’S BEEN HERE AT ROCK VILLE FO THE FOURTH U.S. ADAPTIVE OPEN. THANK YOU TO THE WOODMONT COUNTRY CLUB AND THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY FOR PRESENTING SUCH A PHENOMENAL CHAMPIONSHIP. WE WOULD LIKE TO ALSO RECOGNIZE THE GLOBAL PARTNER FOR THEIR SUPPORT FOR THE EXPANDED LIVE BROADCAST TODAY. IN ADDITION TO THEIR FINANCIAL SUPPORT OF TRAVEL-RELATED EXPENSES FOR THE ENTIRE FIELD. [ APPLAUSE ] >> THE U.S. ADAPTIVE OPEN REPRESENTS THE COMMITMENT TO ADVANCE THE GAME, ENSURING THAT WE CREATE OPPORTUNITIES TO SHOWCASE ALL THE WORLD’S BEST PLAYERS. AND SO ON BEHALF OF THE UNITED STATES GOLF ASSOCIATION, I’M THRILLED TO PRESENT THE CHAMPIONS OF THE 2025 U.S. ADAPTIVE OPEN. THE GOLD MEDAL AND TROPHY FOR THE WOMEN’S CHAMPION GOES TO KIM MOORE. [ APPLAUSE ] >> AND THE GOLD MEDAL AND TROPHY FOR THE MEN’S CHAMPION GOES TO KIPP POPERT. [ APPLAUSE ] >> THANK YOU. CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU BOTH. NOW IT’S MY PLEASURE TO HAND IT BACK OVER TO ANDY. >> KIM, YOU WON THE VERY FIRST YEAR OF THE ADAPTIVE OPEN IN 2022. HOW GOOD DOES IT FEEL TO HAVE YOUR HANDS BACK ON THE TROPHY AGAIN? >> IT FEELS GOOD. IT FEELS REALLY GOOD. I HAVE BEEN THROUGH A LOT THIS YEAR. IT’S SOMETHING I WAS REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO. I’M JUST SO HAPPY AND HONORED TO BE ABLE TO HOIST THE TROPHY AGAIN. I KNOW WE HAVE A WONDERFUL ADAPTIVE GOLF COMMUNITY. EVERYONE SUPPORTS EACH OTHER. I’M JUST SO EXCITED AND SO HUMBLED TO BE ABLE TO REPRESENT OUR COMMUNITY AND BE A NATIONAL CHAMPION AGAIN. >> IT WAS A REAL TUSSLE TODAY. THEY WERE ALL IN THERE. IT WAS A GOOD DAY. >> THAT’S JUST THE GROWTH OF THIS GAME AND HOW MUCH OUR ADAPTIVE GOLF COMMUNITY HAS GROWN OVER THE YEARS FOR IT TO BE THAT COMPETITIVE. I’M JUST EXCITED FOR WHAT’S TO COME. I KNOW IT’S ONLY GOING TO GET STRONGER. AND OBVIOUSLY THAT COMPETITIVENESS IN ME EXCITES ME GOING FORWARD, BUT WE HAVE GREAT REPRESENTATION THIS WEEK FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD. THANK YOU TO WOODMONT AND THE USGA AND THANK YOU TO DELOITTE FOR THEIR SPONSORSHIP AND BRINGING US ALL TOGETHER. I’M SUPER EXCITED FOR WHAT’S TO COME. THOSE GIRLS, THEY MEAN THE WORLD. >> CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN. >> NOW MR. POPERT, THREE OF THESE U.S. ADAPTIVE OPENS IN A ROW. WHAT’S GOING THROUGH YOUR MIND? >> I’M JUST EXTREMELY EXCITED. I HAVE NEVER SHOT THAT LOW BEFORE. MAYBE TAKING FOUR MONTHS OFF IS THE ANSWER. BUT I’M REALLY PROUD. THE CHAMPIONSHIP IS ONLY GETTING BIGGER AND BETTER. AND FOR DELOITT, TO PROVIDE THE TRAVEL EXPENSES, NOT MANY PLAYERS HAVE SPONSORSHIP. IT’S REALLY APPRECIATED. >> THIS VICTORY WAS SET IN MOTION BY THAT INCREDIBLE 61 ON THE FIRST DAY. IS THAT ONE OF THE BEST ROUNDS OF GOLF YOU HAVE EVER PLAYED? I THINK IT TOOK EVERYBODY’S BREATH AWAY WHEN WE ARRIVED AND SAW THAT SCORE. >> I HAVE NEVER SHOT 61 BEFORE. IT WAS DEFINITELY THE BEST ROUND OF GOLF I PLAYED. I DIDN’T GET TO DO A FULL PRACTICE ROUND. AND MY CAD DIFS AMAZING. I COULDN’T DO IT WITHOUT HIM. TO ME, HE’S ONE OF THE BEST CADDIES IN THE WORLD EASILY. >> FINALLY A WORD ABOUT THE SCALE. YOU HAVE BEEN PLAYING THE LIVE TV COVERAGE. HOW EXCITED ARE YOU ABOUT THE FUTURE OF ADAPTIVE GOLF? >> IT WAS DEFINITELY ON MY MIND. I WANT TO KEEP SHOOTING GOOD ENOUGH SCORES THAT PEOPLE HAVE A LOOK AT ADAPTIVE GOLF AND SEE THE TALENT. THERE’S A LOT OF TALENTED PLAYERS AND THERE’S ONLY GOING TO BE MORE. I GREW UP WHERE THERE WASN’T ANYTHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO LIKE THIS OR ASPIRE TO. TO KNOW THAT THE NEXT GENERATION WILL HAVE THIS AND HAVE MORE IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO ME. >> WELL DONE. WELL PLAYED THIS WEEK. KIM MOORE AND KIPP POPERT, EVERYBODY. [ APPLAUSE ] >> THE GOOD NEWS FOR EVERYBODY
