And welcome back to the back nine of the first round of Bill and Ted's awesome disc golf adventure finals from Live Oak, Texas, just outside San Antonio. You're watching GK Pro after the front nine. Tim Escobido's at two under par. Mason shooting hot so far at five under. Tanner still trying to get it going at one over and Ezra has fought back to one under. Now we're going into the more wooded section of the course where you're really going to see some of the technical proficiency of the golfers shine through here. Hole 10 is what I consider the hole you need to get through. Par five, 811 ft, 247 meters through the woods. This is a tough one. You've kind of have a slight uphill drive with a tight lane that bends to the right. Right around here, just in front of the teapad, is super ideal landing zone. And you can do a few things. You could throw a chip heiser out to the next opening that you're seeing now, or you can play it right down the middle, right at that center oak tree. Second shot landing zone would be right around here. And then your approach shot kind of climbs back up the hill and around those trees. I mean, this this hole is this is a a true snake of a hole. This is a really really tough four, even for a top level player. Takes a great deal of accuracy and some power through the low lines. Here we go. Oh, we got Tim on the box. Oh, that's looking a little left, but it's got a nice drift on it. Ooh, kicks back into the fairway. That was a fortunate break. And here's Mason Ford. I expect him to really dissect this hole. Oh, needs to turn just a little bit. Little tough kick out to the left. He might still have a good look from there. Ezra going with the two-finger off the box. Smash. Oh, he basically ran into the two that you want to hit. If you can barely miss him, it's perfect shot. Quality throw there. Tanner also opting for the flick and he has just barely cleaned the gap. It's a little tight, but well played. I'd say that's the shot of the group. Now Tim just made sure that he got it out...
