Pissed off disc golfers heartbreak and a Ganon burst scream heard around the world I’m Jefferson alongside me the one with all the holes in this game swiss cheese and we’re with the discov world breaking down the final round of the first dgpt plus event of the year wakeo

Make sure to subscribe to not miss out on all things disc golf as we’ve got you covered all season long after a couple days of weird weather Championship Sunday turned out to be a beautiful day and for me nothing beats the feeling of the final day the only thing that could

Have made it better was finishing over at Brazos I understand the arguments about spectating and the sport needing that but it still upsets me that being the reason we can’t finish over at Bravo’s Beast with all the history attached kind of lame it’s probably better for the sport but I can count on

One hand the amount of people I talk to that wanted to see the final round over at Leo I can go on and on about this but I don’t want to steal Swiss Thunder for this weekend disc golf on Friday so you’ll just have to wait until then but

What I do have to give a piece on is PDGA live not working again for the second tournament in a row you disc would never just saying it didn’t seem like an entire shutdown like at chess.com but from the lead card getting to whole 9 I

Was unable to see any score cards it kept displaying round one scores and I knew I was not the only one having this issue luckily Swiss was working but I was stuck wondering what the hell was going on trying to decipher the crowd’s cheers from a distance for us it is

Extremely important that there is a way to check scores so we can stay updated on the action and more importantly try and capture it for you kind of hard to do when I can’t see anything I don’t know how long we can go with the working

Out the Kinks before we can really start judging or two for two and I’m not going to settle for at least it didn’t break as much when there was a perfectly good system already in place this is holding back disc golf in my opinion not having readily available stats for the disc

Golf nerds like us to get more of a fix there are features and stats we used to have that were taken away that make even our Recaps harder to do because the info we used to use isn’t out there anymore if you want fans to be invested in the

Product this is a simple way to do that I hope they know disco fans care about the people and personalities rather than just watching people throw the disc really good don’t get me wrong that’s still a big part but there’s a reason players like Brody juli germ and other

Fan favorites draw cards bigger than third or fourth Chase they would rather watch someone they care about no matter if they hit 94 trees or not and stats is one way to build that connection because disc golf is still far behind on content and ways to learn about the players well

Besides the top of the top just my thoughts but let me know in the comments if you had trouble with PDGA or maybe I just have a sucky phone this video isn’t all negative I promise Swiss hit them with the foo recap everyone in attendance and all watching knew the

Results of the tournament before play even started Kristen atar with a five-stroke lead the best weather conditions of the weekend and a course that is suited for both her distance control off the te and approach shots most were hoping at the very least it would be entertaining with pushes from

The rest of the lead card in Ella Hansen Haley king or best case scenario evina solanin Catching Fire again on the final round either way fans were looking for players on the lead card to at least throw everything they could at the course instead only Haley came out with

Three early birdies as Ella would go colder than her day three round not scoring her first birdie till whole 15 evina didn’t shoot under par until whole eight and Haley’s late double Bogies shattered all her early work and put her out of contention Tatar would cruise to Victory yet again despite leaving the

Door open for some semblance of a competitor push but yet similar to her nearly every event during her Domin there wasn’t another player who wanted to enter the ring and stand toe-to-toe with the champion ushering a level of dominance that have only been seen in some of the greatest mononym competitors

In other sports like MJ tiger and Kobe for the entire field Tatar is more difficult to crack than the second level of Lion King on Sega Genesis all sitting trying to tackle the can’t wait to be king level literally jumping through mental hurdles while being tossed around

From stop to stop when tar is a virtual Contra cheat code in the foo tatar’s 4 under was more than enough to give her a seven stroke win yet she was so far ahead and the poor performances of every other lead card participant she could have put together an even round and

Still not have been challenged on Scoggins like so many times before would respond with a five under after her worst performance the prior day the rounded the performance from the players above her moved her onto the podium for a second place finish while Holland hanley’s three under was just enough to

Edge out evina for a third place finish for Jar’s dominance the only end in sight is a question of how long she wants to play unlike the mo that seems to be pushed by younger and younger talent year after year the fo has yet to see the promising young players step up

On a consistency level to push tar for championships and the veteran players have found enough consistency for Podium pushes and wins in tatar’s absence or off tournaments B at 69 I just told myself you got to will this one in there whatever you have just will it in there this man

Unbelievable this is what athletes look for this is the moment over on the N side Ganon bur and Luke humph would go into the final day tied at 27 down a piece bur would shoot an 11 down at brazzo jumping him up while Luke was able to keep stacking good rounds

Putting him in this position even if some thought he was going to fall it was a battle between the already young veteran and Burr looking to get his first win on tour this season versus the guy who’s given everything to this sport yet hasn’t gotten that big one yet this

Golf is always more fun to watch when you have fans desperately wanting two different people to win sitting on 18 I had kids to my right repeatedly asking for Ganon score updates every two seconds and on my left I have the older gentlemen crossing their fingers and

Toes that humre can finally pull it out Ganon would come out swinging getting the birdie on one taking advantage as Luke would card an unfortunate bogey for an early two stroke swing he would then follow it up with the birdie and back to even but Ganon would also get the bird

On to Humphrey would snatch a stroke back on whole four and then getting the two on Five but Ganon would start getting hot buring holes 5 through eight coming out of that stretch with a three-stroke lead must have prompted a fire under humph as he would rattle off

Five birdies in a row and now leading over Burr for the first time that round with six holes left to play this would be after a Ganon bogy on hole 12 which also happened to be right after his nasty spit on hole 11 I guess that was

Probably trying to get one more jab in there also this would be the first time if your PDG live was working you would notice Nicholas anela’s name in first place now I didn’t overreact like most fans when they saw his name jumping up the leaderboard as he was few holes

Ahead and with the master class Luke and Ganon were putting out I didn’t think he would be able to catch up but after a six-hole birdie streak on 11 through 16 he would take back five Strokes from ganet and all of a sudden have a chance

For the win we don’t need to talk about the gon whole 15 though Ganon would get a share of the lead back after whole 14 but Luke would quickly get it back on 16 both players giving themselves looks in the hard 450t par three Burr a bit

Farther out would take it off the cage having to settle for a par Humphrey’s just outside the Circle floats it in and runs it down with the fist pump while the crowd was going nuts the two would now be tied going into the signature hole but this time it wasn’t for first

Anel had made that big push and was looking to stack unfortunately he would throw his Drive OB on the green and would opt to lay up for bogey rather than take the risk of a bigger number on that scary putt he would still go into

Whole 18 with a score of 36 under Luke kicked off ho 17 with a circle one look for birdie watching that Ganon would throw a bit deep and the disc would roll closer to that OB line than anyone wanted to see bir would take his putt

First and the quick snap of the wrist wield it into the basket securing the birdie and tie for first for the time being Luke now would have an easy putt to move on but at this point of the round I wouldn’t call any shot easy Humphrey secured the bird and moved into

Solo first with one to play Ganon allegedly told his caddy after that Birdie on 17 that he was going to win the tournament and I was watching eagerly on whole 18 alongside Parker Welk and at this point he even called Ganon getting the birdie on on 18 and I

Didn’t know if Luke would be able to do that in this situation not only with the most pressure he’s faced with the killer on his back but whole 18 has been critiqued by Pros all weekend long for its difficulty and Luke didn’t birdie at round two he would go for it on his

Approach leaving him in the O Beach trying to get aggressive to avoid a playoff and win outright however it would end up backfiring on him I don’t mind the play from humph and I appreciate the go for it mentality instead of laying up for a playoff and

To go to a hole you already bogeyed in the round with way less experience in this situation than bur already has there was no way Ganan wasn’t getting the birdie on 18 and if the scream didn’t give that away I don’t know what will starting and finishing with his

Only two Bogies the round Luke was still able to secure a tie for second place along with Nicholas anela at 36 under one stroke back a gon Burr rounding out the top five Anthony Bella and Mason Ford would share fourth with a 31 down AB started the first six holes with four

Birdies which sounds great when you pair that with a double bogey on three set you back good thing he was able to snag this Ace to bounce him back also shout out for air dropping me the clip for all you to see combine that with 11 birdies

And he would finish 11 down for the day following up a win with a top five can’t complain about that and it’s still looking good for Bella moving forward Texas native Mason Ford played the final round a lead card and wouldn’t drop him too much playing quiet all day with a

Five under with a few bogeys that kept him from anything too big making 133 for 15 se1 x putts just couldn’t stay out the OB to Avo some crucial Strokes not a bad finish for the mint Slinger Chris Dickerson might look like he would

Rather be at home or in a deer stand but his gameplay in attacking the course and execution of that plan is up there with some of the greats like most veterans on tour breaking the course is different from Power arms like ab and others who

Look to the sky for routes few can make Dickerson on the other hand plays golf by attacking the scoreable holes and protects that lead on the others the front nine on Leo was there for the getting and Dickerson would birie seven of the nine holes added three more birdies and most importantly remained

Clean with surrounding OB resulting in a 10 under top the field in C1 in regulation for the day it moved up nine positions to a six Place finish Ezra Robinson on the same card as Dickerson would match him for the round going 10 under up until whole 18 where he had an

Unfortunate bogey resulting in a nine under Ezra has shown some resiliency in the short season thus far and has impressed me as of late he has responded well from previous Port rounds with more solid play later and has grown into one of the more consistent disl for was on

Tour since the back half of last season despite few fans recognition he was a poor day two from possibly being in the top five or better Greg barsby along with some of the older vets on tour took full advantage while disc golf was being played on the fame Beast heading into

The final he was only two strokes off the lead but with names in the field like Ganon AB kleene among others few expected much on the final day two costly Bogies in the middle of the round one on the second easiest hole of the course would hurt his chances

Significantly with more difficult holes later in the round tying Ezra for seventh place with a 29 down which just might be the best finish of the season for barsby at Elite vents this year maybe a shorten tour similar to Nate sexon could see some benefits for the longtime disc golfer always the people’s

Champion he did show fans he still has enough in the tank to perform at certain stops while being one of the most engaging Pros when it comes to the crowds like most I was looking for a Kyle Klein push on the final day he went into the final only two strokes off the

Lead and on the track where he went nine under in worse conditions yet he stumbled out of the gates going one over on the front four holes putting Cent five Strokes behind early in the competition with everybody knowing what that back half had in store Kyle seems to excel when pushed competitively being

That far out of the lead that early with a number of competitors tightly surrounding him he knew the likelihood of winning the event was slim especially going only three under on the easier front nine even with a six birdie run three bogeys later would result in a

Four under and drop him two positions on the day wrapping up the top 10 Ricky Waki would come back on the final round with a bogey free nine down jumping him up 10 spots into the top 10 following up his second from chess.com he was just a

Cadd away from a six Place finish I suggest to watch pretty sure Nico still has some laying around somewhere our boy Adam hamus would finish his round in the same place he started staying 28 down and tied for 10th he would have a much more Rocky round with four Bogies but

With 10 birdies hamus would end with an average six under I like what I’m seeing just keep him away from ball golf courses the homie Casey white would also tie for 10th after a five down which could have been better if it wasn’t for a late OB drive on 17 that snowballed

Into a double bogey guess what Joel Freeman also tied for 10th with a 5 under at Leo with one bogey but three OBS doesn’t help the score much good thing he was able to scramble out of it most of the time Nate SE would be the

Last player to tie at 10th shooting his worst round of the event with a disappointing 998 rated for the day wouldn’t want to commentate over that one now for some Championship Sunday quick hitters Chris guitar gives a 30% on all merchandise after the win for all

You simps out there to unload your tax returns on we’re still searching for that video of Uli eating it at whole 11’s teapad hopefully it tasted good ab pulls out one of the best Antilla oppressions I’ve ever seen Drew Gibson catches a fan sleeping on 18 of braavos
