All right, folks. Here we are for the final nine here at the Birdie Open 2025, presented by yours truly here at Gatekeeper Media in partnership with Delaware Disc Golf and all of our Patreon supporters. Much love to all of you guys. says you got Dererick and Chris on the mic bringing it home. How you feeling, buddy? >> I feel great. I love this course. I love how the scoring separation is pretty tight and always leads to really coming down to the final maybe three holes or so, I would usually say. So, always a close battle here at Iron Hill.
