hello disc golf world and welcome back it is time for your final round coverage of the 2020 Memorial Championship presented by disc craft my name is Kevin Jones and I'm here with Luke Humphries Luke are you ready to go today for sure can't wait to watch these guys all of them are within striking distance if somebody were to post a good score today they could jump themselves into contention possibly even win this thing yeah that's so true especially on a course like Vista there's plenty of OB so other people can get in trouble while you sneak in the birdies and anything can happen out here here's your leaderboard after moving day eagle McMann in the lead Calvin Heinberg one behind and drew Gibson from yesterday he was on our card and we got to watch him play a great round and he unfortunately we won't be able to talk about him today but that's because he moved to lead card we are replacing drew with Emerson Keith yeah hmm young guy out of Texas real good player has the all-around game and is second in the field and circle two in regulation fourth in the field and circle one in regulation so he's really just giving himself a bunch of chances out here and that's what's making it happen there's only 70 players in the field today there was a cut after round three so we went from 165 down to 70 because of that we've got the cream of the crop every single hole is gonna play lower under par today yeah I think that's interesting hole one the interesting thing about hole one first of all you're throwing through a triple mando so it's very important that you make the mando especially on the first hole of the round this is Vina McCullough he's throwing an m3 and that's a pretty good shot he's gonna have a tree to mess with but no big deal one of the difficult things about this hole also is that there's a slope from right to left so it's the ground can sometimes come quicker than what you're expecting Simon is playing that slope by throwing a sidearm I think that's a solid plays right outside circles edge yeah it's interesting that he goes full speed driver on that flick that's a DD 3 out of him...
