foreign welcome back to gatekeeper media's coverage of the 2023 Jonesboro open in Jonesboro Arkansas this is the round two Chase Card coverage on the back nine and I'm Andrew fish joined here by Nathan Queen fun stuff to watch out here at Jonesboro so many birdies as we're gonna see right here in a second uh three clean cards on our scorecard so far Chris Dickerson running into a bit of trouble but fighting back strong here we are coriolis seven down through the first nine holes Emerson Keith fighting strong at five down right behind him and the field doing some hot things once again seems like uh five down is about the minimum to keep you in contention on the front nine as we are halfway home at the Jonesboro open another stop on the disc golf pro tour 360 foot par three the ground slopes left to right the entire way then you go a bit back up before it slopes left to right some more on the green you want to move just a little bit off to the right after the drive with as calm as it is you're going to see some backhand mid-range as we're gonna see here are mainly uh Fairway drivers from most players and then hope for some anti-skip not as much as you'd like to get there as he's still going to remain in circle two Dickerson also gonna go with the buzz and I think if you're making this backhand play the idea is that you're you're either getting a little bit of drift and matching the slope as you land as Dickerson also going to come up short or you're trying to play it really fast into the hill and get that anti-skip as you call alternatively the forehand play kind of a faster disc with a little bit of turn on and Emerson overturns it but that kind of does play to keep this to take the ceiling out of play a little bit more Nathan it does and I think the forehand play really goes better if you have enough distance to go with the Fairway driver uh that distance driver if you get it up high enough and flat enough can really take a big flare off of the top of that hill and put you farther right than you want to be...
