Watch as the top players in disc golf face off at the 2023 PDGA Professional Disc Golf World Championships presented by L.L.Bean. Nathan Queen and Andrew Fish bring you the action from the final six holes of the first day, which were played on a rainy morning due to weather delays. The competition features a strong lineup of Aaron Gossage, Niklas Anttila, Calvin Heimberg, Simon Lizotte, and Andrew Fish himself. In hole 13, a challenging par-4 that requires precise control, Calvin Heimberg delivers a series of impressive shots, including a fortunate kick that sets him up for birdie. Meanwhile, Simon Lizotte struggles to find his angle into the basket, and Nathan Queen provides expert analysis on the best approach to this tricky shot. The competition heats up as the players take on the shotgun start format in the final six holes, with many still finding their footing after an early morning tee-off.
