Round 1, Back 9 | FPO Shot-by-Shot Coverage | Mid America Open
Join The Merchator Cat and his co-hosts as they break down Round 1 of the FPO version of the Mid America Open on the Disc Golf Network. The round is shaping up to be a challenging one, with three ladies currently sitting under par. The course's penalizing rough and dense woods are forcing players to keep their discs in the middle of the fairway at all costs. On Hole 10, a par-5 that requires precision and control, players must navigate through a wooded fairway and avoid a creek running behind the green. Cynthia takes on this shot with confidence, using her champion glow Thunderbird disc to tackle the challenging tee shot. The Merchator Cat provides expert analysis of her technique, noting the importance of controlling the nose angle as it speeds down the hill.
