what's up everyone and welcome to the round one back nine here at the first stop of the disc golf pro tour the 2022 las vegas challenge my name is mitch phillips joining me is nathan queen talking about the front nine man yeah the front nine we had lots of birdies lots of good putts going on a few park jobs but mainly the pucks we're shining through we've got an attackable back nine here with a couple longer holes especially to get started on hole 10. yeah a card like we have today i mean checking in with this front nine results i mean so hot scores i mean chris dickerson just won off one behind ganon burr i believe and i mean talking about the distance on the back nine a card that has distance there might not be any further throwers than these four right here best thing to point out about that what we saw there is it was all green and gray there was no red going on but right here you see ganon burr a couple holes ahead has a stroke over chris but that brings us straight into hole 10 the second most difficult hole on the course although it does only average .14 over par really tough par three 381 feet this heart-shaped bunker in front of the green plays as a hazard so if you land in it then you'll be putting for your par if you go just past the basket then you have about a circle's edge puck coming back which is pretty scary yeah this is the time in your round kind of i think when you're you're halfway through you're either feeling it or you're not and you're either going for this or you're laying up or i mean chris may be holding onto this one just a little bit long but this is actually a pretty good miss he's gonna be able to have a pretty stress-free par um but kind of takes out the ability to run it with how close that sand is in the back yeah unless you're really feeling it that's just uh that's a par play right there right just long instead of short albert going more of a flex play pretty overstable disc laying out right yeah that seemed to be a layup shot from the front from out...
