Round Three 2018 Ledgestone Insurance Open - Back 9 | Gurthie, Leiviska, Keith, & Hannum

Watch as golfers Gurthie, Leiviska, Keith, and Hannum navigate the challenging back nine at the 2018 Ledgestone Insurance Open presented by Distress. The group faces stiff competition from leader LaVista, who sits at 8-under par, with Emerson key close behind at 7-under. Meanwhile, Austin Hannam trails slightly with a 3-under score. The team tackles one of the new holes on the course, hole ten, featuring a 450-foot par three with two distinct shot options: a flip-up hyzer shot to the right or a roller. Golfers experiment with these techniques, as Emerson tries out a giant sidearm while Austin employs a flip-up Heiser. The team's strategies and execution are put to the test on this treacherous hole, where even slight miscalculations can lead to trouble among the nettles and trees.
