2025 Kansas City Wide Open | MPO FINAL9 | Buhr, McBeth, Wysocki, Aderhold | Jomez Disc Golf Transcription

• 00:00 - 00:30 [Music] I don't think that this course necessarily sets up really well for someone to make a big huge comeback. The fact that Ganon cleared the field by six strokes in round one is one of the crazy things I think we'll see this season. So Genanon with a sevenstroke lead, is he worried? Of course. There's no lead that you have as a professional to where you're like, "Oh, I'm good tomorrow." Because there's always that
• 00:30 - 01:00 back of your mind, if I blow this, it'll be the worst. You know, we talked a little bit about the story lines of Ricky kind of getting one back on Genanon after that big comeback win last year at the Disc Golf Pro Tour Championship. It would be something that would mean a lot to Rick, I think, as a little bit of like, yeah, I got this. I can come back. But most likely don't see that one happening. I think Ezra is one of those guys who just when he gets going, he can kind of keep it going. He just kind of gets
• 01:00 - 01:30 unlucky from time to time because somebody really pops off. And in this case, he's got a a guy that's really far ahead of him. Does he still have what it takes? Of course he does. We're seeing that because of his consistent finishes so far this season. The fact that he keeps knocking on the door, someone's eventually going to let him in. I see tomorrow playing out in the way that the script has written it out so far. Ganon is going to have a fun little red carpet walk down to the championship
• 01:30 - 02:00 lane and then we're going to see a heavyweight battle for second place. When you're playing the field and the field's really tight like this, somebody could make a run and he's got to pop off like a five to six under. So I would say if he does that, easiest one of his life. But with the rain coming, the rain that's predicted, which is a lot, that red carpet might turn brown. might get a little muddy and things could get weird. [Music]
• 02:00 - 02:30 Hello and welcome to the final round. Front nine and back nine here for the mole lead card at the 2025 Grip Equipment 43rd Kansas City Wide Open. That's right, Big Berry Commentary bringing you the action. What's up, Yules? Hey, how you doing? Uh
• 02:30 - 03:00 yeah, delays in the weather have caused us to bring the round from 18 holes down to nine. Yeah. And uh nobody happier than that man sitting at the top because that makes seven strokes a bajillion. Yeah. It's a near insurmountable insurmountable lead at this point. But, uh, you know, we still got some more golf to play and we still got some things to settle and crazier things have
• 03:00 - 03:30 happened, I suppose. Yeah, absolutely. And the battle for second place is very, very tight. A lot of guys in the mix. Uh, today little sprinkly makes this hole a little bit harder. 575, but little headwindy, little droppy with the discs if you don't put the spinny right on the discy. And uh yeah, a lot of said well said. So thanks. Thank you. Yeah. Let's check in with Wonderbread Chris Dickerson, who I
• 03:30 - 04:00 like to call Chris Dickers Discerson sometimes. You know, eyes are way left. Oh, catch the tray. Perfect spot. You can see the torrential downpour that we were experiencing before all the delays. A little drizzly and don't know where it Okay, it's up high in the trees and it's in the basket. Yeah, let me find something for you. Every part of the basket as well. You feel real dry
• 04:00 - 04:30 after that shot and warm, you know. Why do I all of a sudden feel this tingly sensation? He was in a big puddle right there. Doesn't even think about it. Oh, so cool. Top band right in this hole just got eagled a bunch this week. Yeah, I'm from deep. That thing didn't stop spinning for a minute. That was cool. Casey White first hole of the tournament with the throw in playing on your card. Yeah, Jakeimer
• 04:30 - 05:00 made a 55 ft putt this final round to get the eagle as well. It's a nice way to start. All right, the road to victory for Ganon Burr starts now. I feel like this is when you just play short left. Take a billion bars, bud. That's left. Really far left. Mhm. We saw Paul there yesterday and he
• 05:00 - 05:30 somehow managed to get to the green through the back door. So, I wonder if he has the same shorter and farther left than where Paul was, though. I agree. And look at the difference between Chris's round and this right here. It looks sunny, little breezy. Isn't that how it always goes? Hey, you play good, you get rewarded.
• 05:30 - 06:00 Yeah, I agree. Needs to get down and dead. Um, yes. Yeah, I think so. Yeah, that's fine.
• 06:00 - 06:30 No raincoat, Ricky, today. I don't know what's going on with that, but the long sleeves out here. It's a bit breezy with the wind or a bit chilly with the breezy wind. None of these guys even looking at the green, which is kind of surprising. You do have the big right to left crosswind. You could take a really overstable, throw it high. Get the carry.
• 06:30 - 07:00 Maybe Ezra decides to give it a little go. Doubtful though. See putting's been solid. Everything's solid. If you're in the league card final round, he's been a solid player this year and last year and the year before. This is a little bit more pep in its step. Lost it. And yeah, best of the bunch, I
• 07:00 - 07:30 think. Might be. Couldn't tell if that was behind the bush or just in front. Okay. Wow. Ganon. Not a whole lot here. Whoa. Whoa. Oh, little smoochy into a decent spot. He'll have a putt at it. That was awesome from that low ceiling. Maybe got a little bit of love
• 07:30 - 08:00 as well that it didn't skip OB in that short left corner of the green. That's safe. Not great as well. It didn't look like he had too much from that angle. And Brick also going to have to go back door forehand. look juiced. Yeah, scary. That's a tough putt to
• 08:00 - 08:30 justify. Might be a little bit of match play between him and the other two guys on the card that are battling for that second spot. Good opportunity here for EZ. Needs to get down. And oh, Blake maintains [Laughter] balance. Well done there. Was that Josh? That was Blake.
• 08:30 - 09:00 Be a great way to get it started. Yeah, Ricky's looking at it. Oh my Oh my goodness. Wow. Hanging on by his chinny chin chin. Is that the hairs on his chinny chin? Yeah, it would be tough to hang on by your chin. That'd be uncomfortable probably. Not if you had hands growing from them. That's stupid. Ezra lays up.
• 09:00 - 09:30 You think that was a layup? I hope so, but I don't know. Why would your disc travel into the koozie? You'd slide it up. I know. You'd think. And McBTH off the cage. So that means Ganon's the closest. Just in the circle. Wow. What an approach shot. Oh, whoops.
• 09:30 - 10:00 Oh. Well, from gaining a stroke on the card to losing one. Yeah, that's the first egregious mistake. I mean, we saw that bogey he had in the second round with the turnover drive that surprised him, but that was kind of a misread on the wind. This one was just a a brutal time to miss a putt short. I think they I think everybody really played this hold not too good because Ganon bogeies. You
• 10:00 - 10:30 don't know he's gonna bogey, but somebody grabs two kind of a big hole to do it on and he's not going to feel that. It plays significantly more difficult than the rest of the tournament. Well, sure. Yeah, I'm just saying. Yeah, I agree. Out of the other three, somebody gets one, you feel strokes going away. Well, they still get one. Mhm. I said, but they still get one. Everyone in the card
• 10:30 - 11:00 gets a stroke closer to the leader. It's six strokes. Ganon perhaps misplaces his putter as well, but I know that he can interchange his putters. He putts with several at a time, but uh that's annoying if he can't get that back before the rest of the round continues. Pulled two par three 359 up the hill. Just a straight tailwind today. Or maybe it was a head. It might be a headwind for these guys. It switched switched a little bit out there. But
• 11:00 - 11:30 either way, you're going to want to see a flex shot from them from left to right. Something overstable or the sidearm has been a big um popular play for Paul and Ganon. Paul flexing the big forehand muscle. And that's 30 ft just inside. Left to right crosswind now. Okay. So, it's been shifting every direction.
• 11:30 - 12:00 Oh, yeah. Hard to get a read for sure. Ricky, this is long into the gallery. Out of bounds and that's going to leave him a long par save. That seems kind of hard to do going long OB that far. Yeah, it looked like maybe the angle was just kind of Oh, this is really far out of bounds. Yeah, the hiser flip does not hiser
• 12:00 - 12:30 flip. Actually, it's not really far out of bounds. It's just out of bounds. The angle of the camera was a little deceiving. I thought that was in line with the basket, but it was Yeah. So, out of bounds for Ezra as well. and Canon off the mark. We haven't seen that yet this weekend. I'm sure it was happening all over the course, but our league cards have had not too much trouble on hole two. Caught a good break
• 12:30 - 13:00 that he didn't get in there. Yeah. I mean, like he's in there, but not just pitch out in there. It does take a long forehand to get up to the green. Wow. From that spot, and he's going to be left with just inside 50 ft for the par. So, some trouble at the top. Ezra draws nothing but air. It'll be a bogey for
• 13:00 - 13:30 him. Oh, wow. Big putt. See the fist go up about 3/4 of the way there. Beautiful putt. That's so far. playing 65 up the hill. He misses that. He's not in the circle. Someone recently shared a slow-mo video of Ricky putting at Music City Open on the first hole and it's super slow-mo and you can see his
• 13:30 - 14:00 finger hold. You can see his follow through and how he locks his wrist with the pole on this follow through. And it just is one of the most gorgeous things you can watch as far as putting goes. It's picture perfect form. Canon needs to tap into that to save the par now. Oh, stripes it. Got it up. I didn't know if that was going to drop. Read the wind perfectly. That is such a hard putt to make from outside the circle. And this wind, especially with the nerves of
• 14:00 - 14:30 bogeying hole one and being faced with an opportunity to bogey the second with your closest competitor putting for birdie right here. Oh, and he's not going to lose a stroke, man. Dodging bullets like seriously. Neo has a little left. Gets it to fall.
• 14:30 - 15:00 That hurts though. Opportunity squandered. Totally. Ezra still has some work to do to get his bogey into the headwind. This is not a putt you want to have on an elevated basket. Wow, it's picking up.
• 15:00 - 15:30 That's solid. Yeah, that's one of the most unnerving putts you can have. Way to take his time and make sure you knock it down very easily. Can get away from you if you're not mentally prepared for what's going on. That can turn into a couple more putts. Oh yeah, easily. Especially with Ezra's pace. He does he's been slowing it down a little bit with his pace, but historically he's one who puts a lot of power behind his putt.
• 15:30 - 16:00 On to the third. Yeah, just a par 4, 605 ft. The distance isn't that big a deal. It's hitting the gap, getting left, and then the second shots pretty demanding. You got to go right around these poles probably today. And then the greens, it has thick grass, so it will hold a little bit of angle coming in, but if you get it too far left, it does sneak out of bounds. Kind of an island green.
• 16:00 - 16:30 So, a bit of a shaky start for our leader. I'd say for everybody. Yeah, for everyone. Not a birdie carded through the first two. That's going to leave Paul a deep shot in. He's going to have to take on those polls. I think these were kind of the conditions we were expecting to have throughout the weekend, not just on Sunday. So, in a way, the whole field kind of dodged a bit of a weather bullet.
• 16:30 - 17:00 But these scores that we're seeing here, the slow start, this is kind of a little bit more of what we were expecting with the heavy wind and the rain coming in. Certainly didn't see anyone shooting a 14 under like Ganon did in round one. That was just way beyond our imagination. As early, but gets around. Everyone's in the open.
• 17:00 - 17:30 Yeah, this is this is far. It's a scary shot. And he is taking on the poles right between him. This is going to be good germ. Oh, bullseye. [Applause] You think he split the poles? I unless it was a optical illusion, it looked like it went between them. Mhm. Canon looks like he's lining up the
• 17:30 - 18:00 heiser. He's going to try to go around him, I think. Oh, switching it up. Right at it. Nope. Around it. Oh, he knows right away. That was pulled right out of bounds. The Ganon Burs off to an incredibly
• 18:00 - 18:30 shaky start. He's trying to make things interesting for us. Ricky going wide. Heisers. Got to get down. Oh, and you know if there's any down I don't know. Yes. Safety. Okay. kind of got away from Rick a little bit there, but he's a shark right now who
• 18:30 - 19:00 can taste the the blood in the water. Gan is going to keep giving him opportunities. They're not going to say no to him. And this doesn't look like it's coming back either. And Ezra's just also he had a short approach on one that he threw way deep and then troubles on two and now troubles on three. Tough start for him. Well, this is weird. Oh, no.
• 19:00 - 19:30 Oh, that's Oh, lovely. I I don't know why he didn't take it up by where the FPO basket was. I don't know the course well enough to understand. Well, that there's a bow out there. That's all safe around the poles. Yeah, it's it's certainly possible that he crossed that area up there. Um it from the shot that we just saw there, he pulled it really far wide, right? But I think you're right. It very well could have crossed that area angle. It looked
• 19:30 - 20:00 like it crossed, but it doesn't matter. They must have thought it didn't. Mhm. Well, either way, Ganon has this for the bogey. Okay, it's actually time to be a little concerned right now. Yeah, that's a three-stroke swing. Paul's bulls. Paul's parked. This could be a three-stroke swing for
• 20:00 - 20:30 Ricky if he could dig deep here. This is one of those moments. He doesn't typically let them squander. No. No. Oh my goodness. Big putts on two and three for Ricky Weissaki. Okay. Now, I mean, think of the importance of one and two again, getting one one of just one of those. Just one of them. He'd be one back. Well, if he if he birdied one and two and three, he would be one back
• 20:30 - 21:00 right now. Well, he started with seven strokes, so it' be two back. That would be five strokes. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, no. One back. Yeah, maybe because they bogeied one. Makes sense to me. Yeah, cuz Ganon right now is going to be three over through three and Ricky could have been three under through three if he had done better with his approach on one or just stayed in bounds on two. I mean, well, could have, should have. You got to Y that's all I know is it's a ball
• 21:00 - 21:30 game and I didn't see that coming at all. If my grandma had tires, she'd be a bicycle. It's a threeshot lead. That was quick. We We talked about five yesterday. We kept saying it's only fun if it's five. Well, it's We got past that. We We went ahead and skipped three steps all the way from six to three strokes. Yeah. And we've got six holes to go and Ganon needs to dig his heels
• 21:30 - 22:00 in the ground because this is getting interesting. Heat. Heat. [Music]
• 22:00 - 22:30 [Music] And just to quickly go over some of the housekeeping here about why we're playing nine holes. There were several delays in the midafter afternoon as the weather came in and brought some heavy storms and the delays just pushed back the card so many times that they just didn't think they would be able to get 18 holes in. And so, uh, nine holes was decided and so that's what we have.
• 22:30 - 23:00 We've got six holes left and all of a sudden what seemed to be over is very much not over. Paul didn't like it. He slipped a little bit, but this looks like it's drifting nicely. Yeah. I I wonder if he's just more frustrated with his footwork. Not so much this the release cuz the release looked perfect. Yeah. Maybe he didn't have enough power. He wanted to get a
• 23:00 - 23:30 little a little farther. He is very detail oriented. He'd have to be at that level. This looks a little low. Does it get lift? Yeah, he likes it. Time for Ganon to throw a good
• 23:30 - 24:00 one. And that's a little tight, but he'll be looking at it. I think he's going to have to throw on Annheiser for Yeah, it's it's going to have to be some sort of turnover. I agree. With this headwind, it is playing different from the previous round. So, it's playing probably to get to your landing zone a good 50 ft farther, which is, you know, a big audible in in in
• 24:00 - 24:30 your bag. Yeah, you got to make a big big time adjustment on the fly. Ezra did the thing that we haven't seen anyone do thus far in the tournament and turns it over too tight. It's not going to have really any shot into the green on the fourth. Paul gets up there, but that's just not a great shot from there. He was No, he was pretty wide open. It's It is scary to turn it over because you can very easily go deep and deep is out of bounds. And it's going to be more makeable than what he did yesterday. That's for sure. Yeah. But hard to and Ricky's doing the
• 24:30 - 25:00 same thing. You can get some good kicks out of here. Oh man. Doesn't look like he does. Man, that is a that's a time to apply pressure. Yes, it is. Those are some weward approaches for our closest attackers. You could see Ricky's not too happy about it. This is a good time for Ganon to put his foot down.
• 25:00 - 25:30 This is looking pretty decent. It's going to be down the hill a bit. Let's call it about 38 ft. And actually Ezra just tosses it over to here and we weren't able to catch that. But just about 100 ft to get into a better position. He was pretty
• 25:30 - 26:00 tucked over there on the right side. Looks like he's going to be tucked over there on the left side now. Man, just pretty brutal start. You know, there's got to be some sort of weird feelings going into what you know is only going to be nine holes. It's It's been a long time since we've played a final nine format as Paul's or Ricky's shot comes out of the woods and stays close. But the thrill of the
• 26:00 - 26:30 chase before you even start must feel like it's impossible. And then I don't know. It's got this got be some weird feelings and vibes on the card right now. I'm feeling weird that Paul laid that up. He threw it in from the woods yesterday and then he just laid it up. Yeah. And he has no time. I don't understand that either. But this is a dangerous Maybe it was a little mind game. Yeah, he's been known to do a thing or two like that.
• 26:30 - 27:00 Canon does not take advantage of an opportunity to distance himself and gets away with it. Hitting the top band on this on this hole could get a little dangerous. Come rolling back down. Who would have thought? Three over through four holes. Ezra needs to make this. He is four over in the last three holes and just plummeting down the
• 27:00 - 27:30 leaderboard. Pars for the top three and we still only have two birdies. I mean, I'm going to be honest. Today, these conditions, even with that tricky wind, the course was really wet. It was tough to get your feet under you and the course just played harder. I mean, if you look down the board right
• 27:30 - 28:00 here, you got Sullivan Tipton four through four. Nobody else doing much. That's incredible, by the way. Yeah, nobody else is really making a move. Everybody's around one under to even a couple over. Whole five, par four, six, 24. or what are they trying to do? Trying to get a sidearm as far as you can up that hill. Um, and then from there, you've got a technical approach shot. What you don't want to do on your second shot is try to play the high heiser unless you're going past the pin and kind of stalling it back like we saw
• 28:00 - 28:30 yesterday with Kyle Klein's approach. But really important to get a lot of length off this T-OT. Gavin Wthbun's been laying down rollers this week on this hole. Does he stick to it? Yes, he does. Look at this line here, Paul. What? Oh, I love that. That is You can only get to that distance really with the roller. That's way past where we're seeing with the forehands.
• 28:30 - 29:00 Oh boy. You're not going to see it played better. Gavin has been playing some incredible disc golf lately. took second place to Anthony Bella last week at the Eagles Crossing Masters event. Uh, and actually had the lead and took a big number on the 16th hole that prevented him from winning. He has been putting it down lately. So, that's a name to watch, folks. Oh, big time shot right here.
• 29:00 - 29:30 Yeah, that's you can hear the crowd knows it too with a sloppy footing. That's really as good as you can imagine. Very well done. And you can see Rick struggling with that. Trying to tiptoes way into it. Yeah, that's doable from there. That was a just a fantastic kick. Left dead.
• 29:30 - 30:00 Mhm. Well, Paul's up there. Puts a little pressure on Genanon here to step up and throw a good one. That's gorgeous. Total class on that drive. Power control. makes the gap as big as
• 30:00 - 30:30 possible with a little bit of right to left flex. So good. And Ezra struggles continue. One of the things that happens when it rains too is you wipe your disc off, you put your hand on there, and it's the grippiest disc of all time for some reason. It's so weird. Isn't that strange how it's just like, "Oh, I have super grip." The crippiest your disc
• 30:30 - 31:00 will ever be and the slickest your disc will ever be are both in the rain. It doesn't make any sense. No. Rick, who pulled off an incredible shot like this yesterday, just as ambitious. He's getting some great This is the Kiki Weissaki that we we knew back in 2014. I think that they were bad kicks. I think if that goes straight, he's got a a nice putt over there on the left side. Yeah. Well, we can both agree the T-shot kick was great. Oh, yeah. Absolutely.
• 31:00 - 31:30 Paul not listening to our whole breakdowns. And why would he? Got it through. Don't listen to us. Bullseye. Okay. Ezra needs a good shot here. And that's about it's a lonely feeling. And you know, the crazy thing is is when you play the 18-hole rounds and you do so well and you dig deep and then you got
• 31:30 - 32:00 one little nine-hole stretch where you can just screw it all up and throw it all away. And I feel like that's got to be how Ezra's feeling right now. He's just trying to get through this. And yeah, not bad. That spotty was was impossible. You have all these tiny little gaps. I know I did the same exact thing he did. Hit the first tree, went eight feet. Yep. It's a good hole because it puts you into those positions to where a layup really isn't easy.
• 32:00 - 32:30 Uhhuh. Okay. Well, that's on the green and Gon will be putting for birdie with the pressure applied from Paul who's parked Ezra for the [Applause] bogey. You know, Discall's funny. That was so far. What is that? 90 at least. I think up the hill. Let me see what they have it as because that was that's worth looking
• 32:30 - 33:00 up. They're giving them 87. So your your 90 is pretty accurate. But yeah, that was a far one. Hopefully that get gets him sparked in the right direction. No kidding. Sometimes that's all it takes, right? Yeah. That's why we play just for that one shot sometimes. And Ricky will not be taking a birdie. And that's not a good thing when
• 33:00 - 33:30 Ganon's inside the circle putting for his birdie because more times than not he's going to do that right there. And that's a nice calming feeling for him. Played the hole perfectly. Good shot. Good shot. Great putt. And another hole goes by where he doesn't lose a stroke. That's the main thing for him at this point. Run out of
• 33:30 - 34:00 holes. Run out of holes. Yeah. The the playing for par strategy would have been great at the beginning, but now he's got to set his sights towards maybe one or two more birdies and then he can start to feel comfortable. But for McBth, it's got to be more of that. Go first. Put the disc down the fairway. Apply the pressure. Make Gana make the mistake. Three shot lead. Still four to
• 34:00 - 34:30 [Music] go. Onto the tricky fifth. Excuse me. The sixth. It's par four. 658 ft. You got to get 350. We want to say. Yeah. Low ceiling. Low ceiling. 350 up the hill as well. So, it plays farther than that 350. A lot of players have been coming short being left with the turnover forehand route. We have seen a couple players go a bit long, which sets up the Annheiser
• 34:30 - 35:00 flip flat fly straight approach. This looks a little bit inside. Paul, is this going to have the distance? It'll be fine. It's just Yeah, he gets into that middle grove. So, if you're a little bit earlier, you have a little bit. If you're a little bit later, you have a lot of bit. If you're right
• 35:00 - 35:30 there, you don't got much. Bunch of teeny tiny gaps. I saw a lot of sidearm rollers from that position. Yeah, it seems like a very common play for coming up short of this gap. Gana has got this up a little bit higher, but it just kind of hits the ground and it's only a couple feet ahead of McBth. He's off the trees though, so he might be able to access that right gap.
• 35:30 - 36:00 Maybe Ricky likes it and he should he'll have plenty of options from there. Pretty good. Oh, and he kicks up Ganon's disc on the way by. We've seen a lot of that on this
• 36:00 - 36:30 hole. Kind of getting lucky with the weather so far. Pretty nice. Not raining. Not raining is wonderful. Oh, this is such a tight line. So, he needs to almost put this at a roller angle. And it's look like there's a fairway on the right. He's trying to cut it inside. Bang. Got it. Paul, I think you got it. Paul, what a shot. Oh my
• 36:30 - 37:00 goodness. Okay. All right. You stop dancing on the green. That was awesome. You can dance all you want if you're going to be in the circle, right? Yeah. Well, just don't dance out of the circle. Dance on the green. Don't dance off the green. Just pushes the height as high as he could. Gets a nice rea. I think it's a nice reaction off the tree. That keeps going. It's deep. Yeah, sure. I mean, that was he he took on the initial tough
• 37:00 - 37:30 gap immediately with the right angle and the right speed and then once that gap was navigated, it was all just fair flight from there. And I mean, Ezra's almost in the same spot and he hits the middle one. This probably should go. The middle one should probably go. I'm with you there. Paul's just and he tries the sidearm roller and it rolls. I mean, he did it. Objective one
• 37:30 - 38:00 complete. It went forward. It rolled. Ricky just doesn't quite get it to the top of the hill. Interesting. Misses the height by a good deal. Yeah. Not much. Oh boy. All right. Well, McBth will be surrendering a bogey. And that's got to be a sigh of relief from Ganon who is up there putting for his birdie. And maybe that is really all he needed to see.
• 38:00 - 38:30 There's a good kick for Ezra. He's like, "Yeah." Wow. Woo. Hey, pars are good today. Yeah. Especially on a hole like this. Look at what's happening. You know how it is, though. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, once you're four over par, you just no birds. You're like, "Yeah, I got off the course." They're clapping for me with my 12footers at this point. Got it. Yeah. Yeah. Got it. That's the kind of day it's going to be cool. Ricky needs it.
• 38:30 - 39:00 Oh, one inch low. And that's the first time we've seen him miss from that range today. Kind of had the door slammed right there. Backto back birds. Is that what that sound was? I heard a loud wolf. Yeah, it was like the air. Yeah, that's uh that's all Gan needed to see. I think the next hole is very fivable with a bad kick. You can get into some really
• 39:00 - 39:30 really tricky situations. So, early early tree kick and then you go out of bounds. Don't say anything quite yet, but just a couple aces on the way out. Paul might be back in this thing. Oh, I'm serious. The next hole's just so hard. I believe it. Yeah. When we walked the course on Tuesday, I was there were several fives on my car today. I'll tell you
• 39:30 - 40:00 that fly away. You can go find a life where we belong. [Music] I haven't owned an electric guitar ever. So now I'm like extra double [Music] [Applause]
• 40:00 - 40:30 soaked. And now I need an amp. So even though hole 7 is playing as the fourth most difficult of the day, it doesn't say that this isn't difficult. It just says that hole six, three, and eight were just playing even harder. But yeah,.17 over par and only 20 birdies out of 104 players. There you go. So, how many doubles? That's a good question. Double bogeies.
• 40:30 - 41:00 We have five of them. Okay. And we already eliminated some of them were on your card. [Music] So, how many are left out there? Three. And he gets them all. He takes an 18. Okay. Ganon. A good T-shot here secures his victory. Yeah. Think he intentionally wore Chief's colors out here in the Kansas City wide open. Maybe this has got to not clip the
• 41:00 - 41:30 last one. Oh, he parked. Oh man. Oh, that's perfect. What a shot from Ganon. We better show this guy. We have to Let's Let's track this from the back. Let's see how close he gets to this guardian on the left. Okay, he got close there and he got close right there. But that's the shot shape that we've been talking about all week. Perfect. If that was 2 feet to the left, then yeah, then it would have been the same exact place. It would have been
• 41:30 - 42:00 parked in the bullseye. Ricky giving himself a little putt. That's beautiful. Yeah, great shot. That is such a prolevel. This is a pro par three all the way through. Mhm. Super challenging. At the right distance to challenge even the farthest throwing players love tunnel shots like this. He needs help. Oh. Oh wow. And now all of a sudden he's a kick
• 42:00 - 42:30 king. Wonderful. I'll take some more of that. Also, we're looking at like a star frame perhaps. Oh, he slipped. Does he get away with it? Nope. No. Lucky to stay. See that? How that kick was almost out of bounds. Might have hit the trade and saved him. Great approach. And a great approach that just
• 42:30 - 43:00 some role play. He's out of bounds and then he doesn't throw the great approach. Turns into a five. Exly. Very fast. Yep. I'm with you with a pretty decent shot. It's not like it was a shank. Ricky bang. Yeah, couple under par for Ricky. I mean, the way the chorus is playing, we got some fans that love it doing the robot dance, but the way that the the energy is just tough tough
• 43:00 - 43:30 conditions, it's tough to be motivated to go out there and shoot low, but Rick's doing a good job. Two birdies, no bogeies. The no bogeies is key. Yeah. The putt on two to save the par and then the big birdie putt that he made on three when Ganon was in the middle of his double bogey. Yeah. And then the 50/50 grind on one over the OB line to stay inbounds. That was nice on the putt or the wheelie. Yeah, I think you're 50/50 grind. Little
• 43:30 - 44:00 stall. Five strokes with just two to go. Let's talk about second. Hey, let's talk about it because Ricky just flip-flops. He goes up one now. Well, they were tied. He goes up one over him. Hole eight, par4, 756. Hit the gap, get out there, and then just a biger. This is playing tough, man. It's just hard to get all the way there. It's
• 44:00 - 44:30 a huge right to left head cross. So, nobody has been brave enough to take it out wide enough because if it flips on you, you're so far out of bounds, way back of the basket. First things first, sidearm. Hit the hit the fairway. You're playing about a 330 shot if that. Yeah. I mean, he could throw any disc in his bag to that. It doesn't matter. He hit the gap. The next shot will be more than likely a hiser or just
• 44:30 - 45:00 a distance shot into the bulk of the the next landing zone. No need to attack the green. Is that how Ricky's forehand has always looked? No, his footwork is changes. Yeah, it changes a bunch. But the flight looks the same. Hit the gap perfectly with a lot of speed. A lot of power behind that forehand.
• 45:00 - 45:30 Kind of comes out all Alex Guisingeresque. Yeah. Big strong guy. A lot of power behind it. McBth sit fortunately hits the field goal post and Karein's right. Stays in bounds though. Out of birdie position. Oh man, he was close.
• 45:30 - 46:00 What do you even do from here? It's completely blind. What's the aiming point? Uh you can see the big trees where the basket are. They're right there where he threw it. Okay, so this is just going to be hisering and he's just wanting it to cover the OB line, which is actually pretty close. Yeah, that's good. But that's how far it's playing. I mean, that was a monster hiser and was 100 ft
• 46:00 - 46:30 short. Wow. got through it and gets at the turn even. Yeah, but it it went right at the target, so he's going to be way left just fine. Yeah, exactly what you're supposed to do right there. I think at this point Ezra would love to secure a couple birdies on his way out just to
• 46:30 - 47:00 inside. Give himself a look though. Inside circle, too. Ricky could secure that second place spot with a birdie or at least almost all but secure it. Not close, but there's going to be a lot of C2 putting coming up.
• 47:00 - 47:30 Safe little bid for Paul. This is like pushing C4 just at the back edge of C3. That's right. Hey, look what I found. Come on. On the stripe. Who Who had Paul birding hole eight after that T-shot? Not me. That
• 47:30 - 48:00 was awesome. Yeah. Wow. flips the script on Ricky out of nowhere so far. How do you get a 95footer up that steep of a hill still with pace as it enters the basket? I don't know. He did it though. Only a few people in the world can do that. That was awesome. Canon, just toss us into the wood chips and don't be greedy.
• 48:00 - 48:30 No. Um, yeah. What's the verdict? I think he was trying to make it. I think he was, too. There's no way that was a There's just not a lot of trouble that it's over. Yeah, he does not feel threatened. Yeah, I understand the putting the hands up. He just like, okay, I'd rather be in a dry place, Ricky. to keep a one-stroke lead. No
• 48:30 - 49:00 doubt. Over McBTH for second place and a answer. A big putt. That was awesome. We're seeing some pretty incredible putting for what is otherwise like medium to lackluster overall scores. We've got like five highlight putts so far, though. Mostly from this guy. Yeah, at least three of them from him.
• 49:00 - 49:30 Honestly, yeah. I mean, three from Ricky, we got one from Ezra, one from Paul, one from Ganon back on hole two to save the par. Yeah. So, that's exciting. We're just looking for something to get excited about that race for second place. That's excitement, baby. What everybody likes to watch for, second place. Yeah. I don't want to see you park things. No. screw up a little bit then make me
• 49:30 - 50:00 clap. That's such a clean forehand form, man. Not a lot going on in the body work lower. Plants those legs. Drives with the hips. Keeps it clean with the upper body shoulder movement. Really able to hit a line with a lot of power. Man, he's got the full game. Yeah. Well, let's see how he does on the little par three here. We just got done doing some golf on some toughies. I don't think that they
• 50:00 - 50:30 envisioned this being the championship hole and they were designing hole nine here at Bad Rock Creek. The whole walking up the greatest hole of all time to collect your trophy, Guinea. No, all jokes aside, just a little chip shot up there. You got to get it right. There is trouble left and right. So you I mean, see Ricky, this is I mean get over the hill. Cakewalk for him. Yeah. And that's second. That is securing second unless McBth is able to throw it in,
• 50:30 - 51:00 which you know he's going to try to do. Rain starting to come down a little bit. It's not going in, folks. Spoiler. It might not get it in in the second or third throw as well. It kicked out to the right side. Oh, it did. Okay, good. Good for him. Perfect. I need just a dime. Wow. Wow. You think he's going to lay up from there or is he going to drop it in?
• 51:00 - 51:30 Throw it back to the teapad and try again. Try again. He could do that a few times at this point. What a tournament. I would have guessed 21 would have won it in regulation 54 holes and Genanon's going to do it 24 in an abbreviated format. Oh.
• 51:30 - 52:00 Oh. This is the definition of let me go home now. Uh well, Ezra is sitting in ninth. So, this is a big par. Lots of points and top 10 sounds so much better. Oh my gosh. He 13th. Way right. Way way way right. Paul focuses deep there and gives it a run. So, this is actually a massive putt. Well, it would be a massive putt. He's
• 52:00 - 52:30 looking at about 60footer steep uphill. Why not? Why not, dude? Give me that. Why not? [Laughter] Wow. To stay in a top 10. Good for you. That's awesome. didn't even jump. Like I don't know if he was like he was like McBth's just kind of like all right. It's hard to tell, man. The rain's down. Yeah.
• 52:30 - 53:00 Motivation is also probably down. But his turn was over. For par. Yeah. And it was for par, which is the easiest putt to make in the game. Hey, we waited a long time for this. And we also waited the shortest amount of time. Yeah, no kidding. I don't remember the last time a tournament was shortened to nine holes for the final round. Um, we've obviously had some last round cancellations in the past, but
• 53:00 - 53:30 this was a bit of a unique finish. And Gan, I mean, we knew this after round one, we'd be saying this, he's your champion. Ladies and gentlemen, your 21st City Wide Open [Applause] [Music]
• 53:30 - 54:00 Champion. To be honest, I woke up this morning not feeling good at all. I battled through it. You know, I really came into form those last couple holes as I felt some more adrenaline. That forehand flex shot on hole six approaching the green, that was a very technical shot. I knew that uh if I throw it how I thought I was going to execute it, I should have a circle one putt and was able to bang that to go up five, I believe. And then the dagger was definitely the park job on on hole seven. My PD just shapes up perfectly
• 54:00 - 54:30 for that hole. Wild weekend. I uh played one of my best rounds in my career on day one and uh this is my third time playing this event and my third time winning this event and I've seen this course evolve and I just appreciate everyone who put the hard work in to make this place better every single time we come back. So, thank you guys. [Music] I'm for one, I'm very excited to come
• 54:30 - 55:00 back here in Kansas City and and just play this course in the future. I really It was a bummer not playing this week, but it was awesome watching the incredible disc golf that we got to see. Yeah, I think it's one of the better courses that we play on tour. I'm be completely honest with you. It's It's tough. It's not too tough. It's scrappy. It's not too scrappy. You got the open holes, you got the wooded holes, elevation, you got water. It has the whole deal. And you have Kansas City. The people, the community is really, they came around this week. And like we
• 55:00 - 55:30 talked about this a little bit yesterday, but the little block party yesterday in Liberty, Missouri, was awesome. Uh coming here and spending time with Pete Cash, one of the local legends around here does so much for the community has always been great cuz he's always opening his doors to so many pros that come in and hang out and just a lot of good good vibes in Kansas City. So well done to the entire organization here. And congratulations to Ganon Burr for taking down his third Kansas City wide open in three tries. That's really impressive. Yeah. and he just absolutely blistered the field. So, we got a week
• 55:30 - 56:00 off and then we head into California for the Champions Cup at Stockton, California. First major of the year. Yeah, it's going to be a great time. There's going to be a lot going on that week. It's going to be a festive atmosphere. Can't wait to get up to Stockton and check that out. Missed that one for the last two years in Japan. So, I've been spent a long time for me. Looking forward to getting back and checking that out. We'll see you guys in a couple weeks here on Jonas Pro. Like and subscribe, please. Thank you. See you next time. [Music]
• 56:00 - 56:30 Watch your body and I feel that sunshine.
