See [Applause] hello and welcome to round three coverage from the 2024 Waco annual charity open we are back at brazus East Park on the famed Beast course and you’re watching the disc golf pro tour on Joes Pro with Nate ston Jeremy coing and Paul ulber and the Beast does what

The Beast does I mean once again for the eighth straight year the wind direction has switched between rounds out here 180° I don’t know how it happens every year but it’s done it again so whole one will be with a tailwind and whole 18 will be with a Tailwind but there will

Be a few holes as we finish the round that will be going into the headwind Kyle Klein has been putting up incredible numbers for the last two seasons the way that his game is developing I feel like he is just going to be a star to watch Luke humph has had

Some great success here uh was it two seasons ago that he was a runner up yes so he has played well here before going into the third round Texas yeah he’s a Texas boy too that’s right n well Arkansas but he he’s got that Texas style is he also in Austin anyway I

Think he lived in Dallas for a little bit okay Nas onto only one bogey yesterday able to shoot a 5 under to maintain his spot on League card and we’ve got the ever bright and colorful Joel Freeman here with the Loud pants and the great play forehand backhand

Great Putter and if we get any more slow MOS of Joel nobody that hair Snapback is Magic it flops over the top with the power and then shwing right back in right in place it’s incredible can we agree though and make it clear to the fans that this wind condition is far

Preferable to the far easier well you know what the stats uh are going to prove different really yeah uh for whole one is surprisingly harder to birdie with a tailand I don’t know why well I think it’s because of the straight tail and makes everybody go down this middle

Spot spot and you’re going with a ratty boy right here I believe yeah that’s a rat and that is a bullseye anybody on your card go over with the Heiser yes okay anybody get it with the Hiser yes here we go yeah so 258 average this round

Two4 six round or 2 46 average first round oh no outline early mishap out of bounds and where’s the cross I think somewhere in circle two maybe a little shorter okay it’s my guess but overall for the course this win condition oh yes preferable correct I I was just kind of

Going off specifically hole one but yeah I think I think you’re right I know I am I mean cuz the three real headwind holes are some of the three are three of the easiest holes on the whole property you never want to play 17 and 18 going into a

Headwind great shot from Luke yeah if you got the two-piece down the middle with the with a overstable putter that’s that’s the ticket I think absolutely thanks for the correction looks like Nicholas is going with the four piece over the top four banger high he is going with a looks like a

Very overstable driver and I I like this one better than Kyle’s and that’s why barely better barely better I think they’re thinking it’s going to swing more because of the heavy right to left but for some reason those are getting up there and it’s not affecting it in the way that they

Think nice snap back I was paying close attention right there my goodness look at that love didn’t that look worse than Kyle’s almost it did good it’s the swing though so it’s a Rey What really and it’s a very nice Rey wow I I thought that he okay yeah wider than I initially thought result probably the same oh huh and I do know that Joel was working on a different stroke in the off season I’ve heard him be pretty vocal about

It what did he want to change do you know yeah I thought I don’t exactly know I just I just heard him talking about it okay okay on his [Applause] Instagram Luke with a good starting birdie he gets a little hop and Skip up the hill but I mean he’s a great putter

Joel yes beforehand so you know how we do for sure it’s always in the lap you got to be thinking about something anything to get one more shot one thing I’ve been very impressed with is Luke’s putt I mean what I really love about it is the 25-footer looks

Exactly like the 45f footer with a little hop and if you can keep those two things consistent you can get on fire and around and make stuff from everywhere so let’s keep an eye on that hold two par for 631 straight Tailwind split these two trees on Heiser wherever

It lands you’re going to be able to manufacture something coming in you really see people make the mistake of going early right and having to deal with all those trees on the left trickier shot into here ground play is really important leave yourself short you don’t want a headwind Putt we’re going to go up to whole three with Greg barsby beautiful great wit that is little nose up coming in slow nothing else they could do besides be [Applause] parked Greg shot 12 under on this course in round one only three under in round two at the golf course and here’s Nate

Going with the Sidewinder and that’s h by going through the Gap hitting some foliage and just way past that tree if anything near that tree is essentially perfect what is that 80 feet oh jeez maybe a little more than 80 but a lot a lot less than I usually have into this

Basket you’re a little height dude not going to see easier birdie than that no that’s fantastic little preview of what’s to come I mean if there was a perfect shot for the hole it is a understable fairway driver turnover forehand and there’s that early spot

This is going to skip up there on the leftand side he’s going to have something but it is it is over there on the left side way trickier low ceiling and small gaps over there you see a lot of people in the past have hit that big

Tree on the right and kick over out of bounds that’s the only real mistake you can make on this hole and that’s through the Gap that you’re talking about Paul right down the middle and the ho that should set up about 250 to the pin and with the big Tailwind some some drives

Can get inside a 100 if you really Flip It Up flat and put some power behind it I was playing with Eric Oakley one year on this hole with the same type of tailwind and he got to 100 feet and made the jump Hut so it is eagal wow

Whoa this is I don’t think there’s ever been a well ever it’s a stretch but this is an important hole for Kyle to get erase that bogey on the first still behind a little bit in the tournament for the field but he really needs to get this

One to get back on track good width here a really nice shot there you go there it is yep par par you’re still mad but then if you can get three one through three not so bad yeah and here’s that tight Gap that he’s going to have to hit yeah perfect pretty well

Done needs to Hurry not exactly what you’re looking for but I mean it’s 25 ft Joel likes it he got a lot of distance off of that beautiful not an easy putt right to left win Heiser putt could lift could drop good Birdie the pickup from a early left drive for Luke

Oh tapping in with the uh the mid Chris serson out to a hot start 11 through 15 wow whole three Par 3 320 we just saw Greg barsby here that backhand play He took is a very popular one there’s also some forehand gaps on the left side can be kind of a fast green so nose angle

Speed control all pretty important here I actually didn’t even know that we were still donating money to Edge that’s I good starf frame or money for a good cause gon Burr on five straight as an arrow a little counter skip there at the end probably little long but a beautiful Shot Circle

Edge that tricky right to left win let me guess he makes it step [Applause] but average putt length for gonur 19 12 ft that’s really a a a far distance up there yeah considering that’s counting these putts from this distance right sure [Applause] sure great drive for Luke the perfect start

Continues he’s going to be three under through three ncla just really I love his shoulder control like he really controls that part of his body so well that it really allows him to throw great higher flips and force over turnovers yeah very good at holding whatever angle he intends all through the follow

Through going Flex to the tight line for Joel I love this very good yeah Nicholas is going to be outside the circle though that’s not exactly what you’re wanting I was thinking with Ganon as Kyle lines this one up and if it gets past that one should be fine should be

Really good oh it’s great fantastic if genon improves his driving and he gets closer his scores will not improve which is funny so what does he have you know what incentive does he have oh you know what that reminds me of that reminds me Ricky Ricky Yaki

Yeah it’s like oh he parked every hole and he shot nine under he made 95 yeah he hit every tree and he shot eight under to to the to the newer disc golf fan Ricky yaki’s control has come Leaps and Bounds from where it started off and

He used to be kind of known as being a wild man and it didn’t really matter because it usually a shank would be followed up by what he called a DOT void the dot was the sound where he would put his tongue out and go Dot and then he

Would say void because your good drive birdie was voided by his long butt yes and now he just voids everything out by birding to traditional way yes really smooth Operator right there from Luke Humphrey’s 21 is currently in first place now the team you support from the stands

Now finds a place in your return seasons change the game remains Prodigy disc and the NHL where disc golf and hockey live whole four par 4 441 ft tight Gap to start and this subtle break break to the left you’d like to just get to about

Here with your drive to set yourself up to go and attack this green that works back to the right remember of course there is that slope down to the water so if you come in a little too hot can get ugly quick it’s also a nice time to get away

From the wind for a while oh we’re going to before we get to four we’re going to go to whole six little blind Hiser down the hill almost hitting the cage again you hit the cage last year correct chains last year yeah oh chains that’s even

Better I could get used to these uh Nate sexon check-ins man me too actually it’ be better if you’re just seeing the whole round though I’m over it only kidding as Luke luk another smoothie filet job watch this Ground Play Perfect and that’s going to be a stand still

Forehand approach from there I’d imagine you really just want to miss that one if you miss that one should be good this is really nice you don’t see a lot of players start off that right side because they’re concerned about that one tree most of the good shots you see are

Kind of like flipping up and challenging that inside that is just I deal though for the backhand you’re not really asking for much more than that you can get Saucy with the forehand as we saw earlier with you and your Sidewinder yeah there’s no no way to be aggressive with the

Backhand those are four quality drives Joel might not have the best angle I would pay a $100 to be where he is yeah no they’re all in a good spot I I agree oh no that’s the one though that one tree even with great drives that

Tree is still pesky you can see why this one’s a little tricky because you have to bring higher angle and that means you have to challenge that slope unless your speed control is perfect Joel does very well there but you can see how if that has a little bit more energy behind it

You start to skip and maybe roll down into the river even Luke’s Drive he’s got to throw kind of challenging that inside gets through it will be semi obstructed but very makeable now does this come out Hiser or a little Annie Heiser so you’re right

This is going to oh oh it’s going to hit the spe control works when you hit the base of trees few years ago this is a layup now every single person in the top five cards is running that cut except for Nate seon probably but his is for Eagle so there’s

A big difference Luke let’s go four for four now great start and that’s why you run it yeah I would say that roughly half of the putts that I’ve ever laid up in my career have been accidents and I’ve been attempting to run them but just not convincing enough

To like make me believe you I know that’s the thing that’s why I have to come out here and just say it straight yeah yeah I it’s often unintentional I have the opposite problem I try to lay it up and then it comes out zinging and just goes in no no

In the lake in the Brazos River Cole ralin holding that fire Emoji at the moment whole five Par 3 264 going dead straight uphill just throw whatever you like to throw for a straight shot the real the only real wrinkle is that you have this hill so that you could come in

Even with a driver if you want to with a forehand driver and you can count on sort of a straight skip up this hill if you do hit on that Ridge you guys going sexon Firebird on there I am yeah I I’m actually going with the Paul ulery 11 time Eagle nice

Oh I like this if it hurries now yes now breaks breaks breaks because you get around there a little bit more and then all of a sudden you got a 25-footer that’s heavily obstructed very good yeah watch this thing if it doesn’t hit the tree then yet bounces right perfect how many times

Have we seen them go directly at the tree and then right around them yep oh man yeah that one actually does collide with the tree a little bit but still on top of the hill you’re only looking at 25 ft at tops not turning not his best oh and caught the

Tree he’s been known of making some good bids from this distance though not too bad get in there good touch finds the side pocket Joel getting out of the way and then Luke’s going to be coming right at us for five in a row and a tricky little one this is where

These start to get a little lengthier not for him smooth nice you could see the tilt of the head oh yeah wasn’t on the stripe yep neither was that one but they count Joel off to a nice little stretch as well he parred the first one and now

He’s birded the last four well we’re in an era where back in the day five in a row was running away from the field now you’re just getting like maybe maybe one yeah maybe certainly on this course when there’s uh medium to low wind or Tailwind uh one of the places where

Birdi really start to stack up you’re currently in second place I believe in a tie trailing behind Luke humph currently yeah whole six Par 3 267 we saw how you play it seon gave us a good idea of what this Fairway looks like you might be seeing a little

Turnover from somebody in here but likely all sidearms coming down the hill and skipping up into this little green area you can skip deep and then it becomes a bit tricky back there let’s see how Mason plays whole eight though skip ahead for a second H he plays it like a perfect

Player would play it like just never even close to a tree you could have Mason Ford’s form or Nas anelas form for the rest of your career who you taking man I mean I don’t think you’re can’t really lose yeah this is inside and the birdie

Streak is going to take a long putt to continue now for Luke I’ll throw Brad Williams in there as well again you can’t lose no no oh another one inside another one inside ah someone can figure this one out maybe but that was also missed inside yeah very very inside I’m

I’m saying maybe Kyle can figure it out nichas got lucky and penetrated all the way down there to the green I’m taking Nicholas that was the test that was a test there is the there the Fairway yeah perfect shot from Klein to stay perfect good effort could you imagine

Mason’s smooth form it’s how compact it is on my frame it just wouldn’t it just wouldn’t work I think it would yeah I think it Jo right side just needed a Hiser a moment sooner there’s just something about Nicholas’s form that I just love yep like just you know

Gets the job done just like Mason you can’t go wrong but the way he rotates is he like rocks the disc to sleep and has no choice but to do what he intended that’s a good that’s a good way to put it he definitely rocks it to sleep like

He’s rocking a little baby he’s just going sh it’s going to be okay late flip turnover [Laughter] sh that is so true but whatever that is in Finish good birdie for Kyle and Nikos gets away with it gets away with it but he had to earn it with a good putt right

Here now nlas five five under tying Luke’s start on to Hole 7 par 4 462 early mandatory on that left side this one is either a backhand position play to set up birdie or potentially a really aggressive forehand can get you that eagle look we saw it from Emerson Keith

I believe in round one uh generally there’s a a couple of players per day that maybe are at least going to get down into that bowl maybe a couple connect on the putt really a fun Hole uh because of that possibility screwed up to Ho nine ganon’s t- shot he’s rattled off seven

Of the starting eight holes two little kicks wouldn’t hurt him too much here whoa and now he’s in good position oh and I like this yeah that was nice wow that Gap he had to hit was staggered in a very awkward way he kept his form really tight to his hip allowed

The disc to have the most space between the two trees gets a good Skip and then you know what he does on the green eight down front nine gabur great stuff they don’t make him much better than that yeah that’s perfect that’s like a long range jump Hut I don’t even

Think he has to really throw from there that’s testing that right side it’s okay though yeah he’s still shopping for birdies he’s just in the back of the line little surprised with this play think that Luke definitely has the ability to get the sidearm all the

Way down there fits his shot shape but when you can do that and make it a pretty easy approach especially with where he’s at in the tournament I think that’s a great decision that’s pretty high for this Gap but that’s the way to get all the way

Down there Joel’s good move but he finds just the worst rough on the whole as far as you think you’ve thrown a great shot you get up there you actually have to scramble from 60 ft look at this play this is great scary putt yeah edge of the circle

Back downhill into the headwind that’s a really scary putt that’s perfect yeah you were right little jump putt Nika has a lot of power in his jump putt he can extend the range up to 120 feet relatively easy easily very good birdie can’t wait to watch this

Putt one thing about K’s putt that I love is it’s a push put a lot of times in the windy situations those are kind of I have full confidence in his when it’s kind of a wi headwind or crosswind or left you know right to left left to

Right for some reason his likes to penetrate through the wind I haven’t quite figur out I believe it I just believe it yeah it’s he’s just a fantastic butter quick shout out Evan Smith Gavin Babcock and Nathan Queen picking up the Eagles nice and I don’t know if I ever

Gave a shout out to Emerson Keith well Emerson Keith was on our card round one with the eagle yep and Raven Nome also got it so five eagles this year in total on whole seven on to whole 8 Par 3 2113 ft just a tight little hallway all the way down

And then a pretty severe slope on the green down to the right so if you don’t control your forehand speed you can find yourself outside the circle down there with some obstructions in your Way this is in a little danger yeah a lot of these ones end up all the way down the hill nearly on whole 9’s Fairway are you guys surprised that he goes sidearm there instead of the nice little smoothie backand I am a little surprised to be honest his his backhand

Putter game on that shape is very accurate but he’s really good with those tactics as is Kyle if that is indeed a tactic I’m not quite sure I think it is though even if it’s not he could still be really good with them I mean you haven’t made any made any

Error very common error just barely left catching uh something if that was a branch or a Vine but pulls it up short little zoomy yeah the hard pan by the green you’d like to hit that one about 30 feet to 35 ft short and then just slide the rest the way all right

Luke oh scy cat don’t blame him this is where you end up down here yeah you wouldn’t oh that was not in our initial zoom in frame thought he had a clear window to go for it Joel having to kind of make a trick putt up here on the

Green and that could roll but doesn’t I got it saves the [Applause] par good little birdie there important one for Kyle there with kind of a slow start getting things together heading into the final hole in the front nine trying to gain some momentum going into the last half of the round no

Okay I could think I could just see bad things happening I wouldn’t even try it try I wouldn’t even try it oh it’s funny all right ho nine is I think you called it a Bruiser yesterday germ that’s cuz it is par 4 519 not much for distance but if you

Miss this tree and you’re low with a perfect angle then you got to test these trees and if you miss those with a perfect angle you’ll go deep and not have a shot yeah totally uh you’re really just trying to throw your best shot down to that bow whatever that is

Sidearm backand mid-range Fairway fast driver anything that hits that Gap you’re going to be super pumped with and then tricky shot coming into the green we’re going to jump up to whole 11 here with the Chase carard check in for Ganon after the eight down front he did manage

To take a par on 10 this one’s early release there that’s not the Gap he was going for but gets the forward roll let me guess he makes the butt I almost feel like putt is not the right word it’s more to me it’s a it’s like a

Zap like you know like putt implies like Loft to me and like some sort of like break and move you know and it’s a touchy thing what he does is not touchy he just puts it on a little it’s like it’s like a laser pointer oh Kyle trying

To get the late drifting turn through the left side which I think is the lucky side I don’t know if that’s what he’s intending to do but if it is he was very close to hitting his line so that’s the lucky side as well there’s something from there you can

Throw a a very overstable disc that kind of Skips up to about 40 feet oh get a little bit of fight back in the end and it’s fantastic ah catching those last couple of Guardians you take it though yeah pretty but I would think par at best this is pretty Speedy that’s not

Hitting the Guardians might go to the backside and that’s going to be a par my guess is that’s a par now I mean I kind of describe that as yep such a good-looking shot Nets you very little he has stuff from over there though he can he can he

He’s he’s going to have I think a stretch out something because of his skills with the sidearm scramble yeah I I I will be surprised if he’s able to get inside the circle I mean yeah I think he can fight his way up to C2 somehow but he’s not going to

Have a clean line now the pin is off to the right side a little bit so he does get a little bit of leniency off to the left side of his disc just barely proves the angle for the sidearm skip shot around the Corner that’s pretty good that’s really

Good and the fact that it didn’t like shoot back to the right side means that he might have a long look at the putt yes slow down when you’re right there you want to punch it through there and that’s what happens you go a little bit deep but

You’ll you’ll like you’ll like that yeah forehand rollers I mean this is like the only thing you’ve got from back here he’s good at this stuff not that good though you are 100% right Jer it’s just I hate that that isn’t more rewarding that shot that drive is so good and then

You’re left with very little but that’s the way the hole is designed and you know what off the tea you’ve got to have a certain amount of touch going down that Hill early gets through though and this is an annoying little upshot I mean it’s like 52 feet always weird

Throwing over your right leg when you’re straddled out to the left and it’s like you’re guaranteed that at least 20 cuz you got to punch it a little bit to make sure to hit the Gap yeah this is this is fantastic wow a birdie look oh that would have been such a cool

Birdie to get you know with the backand you’ve got the patent pending where you can turn yourself backward WS you don’t get anything like that with a forehand it’s just awkward lies Stripes it he’s putting so well at Circle Edge right now this season like

We’ve got to see a lot of them here in the booth and he is just on the stripe four is never a bad score to walk away with on nine but it does hurt a little bit when your drive looks so pure from the teapad gets full flight all the way down there

You’re just hoping that you’ve got something there were three threes on the Chase card I was the Lone par they really figured this hole out in myp end 17 birdies on a hole that this score would have been a eagle in the past I just a few branches is and a

Few things cleared up that have changed since the time when it was a par five but like we said before it’s never really truly been a par five yeah looking like Nate seon’s kind of marching towards that first place hanging around but look at that juli and

Coing 11 and 10 the boys may be back I we need somebody to go down and search through the the throws of time we need to figure out when was last time the three of us were all in the top 10 besides whole one this late in the

Tournament what I like seeing on that scoreboard is a lot of nines eight sixes sevens all the way down to the very end I mean scores were scoring was pretty dang easy out there considering how high the winds were I was very surprised on that front nine let’s see if they

Can keep that scorcher of a day going we’ll be back in a little bit for the back nine of the third Round
