After a thrilling start to the 2026 season, we have arrived to the first major of this professional disc golf year. We're at Lynchburg, Virginia at New London Tech, one of the toughest wooded courses in the world. And the top players in Mo are ready to tackle the course. Your defending champion and four-time major winner Isaac Robinson is arriving getting ready to go and try to defend his title. So, we head over to the 18th. Ricky Weissaki has a birdie putt and he will take the outright lead if he makes it and he puts it in. So Ricky Weissaki finishes up his day at five under.

Miss it. >> Oh, he did miss. That's going to get way up the fairway. When you pass that power pole off the tea, I don't care where you are in the fairway, you can access the gap pretty safely. Pretty straightforward. Tap in birdie. Yeah. >> And that takes a friendly roll right into the bullseye. Here's Braden Sides at the 11th. Oh, that is beautiful. And can you tell that this is a...
