2019 Prairie Dog Open | RD2, B9, MPO | Hatfield, Keith, Engel, Savage
The 2019 Prairie Dog Open is a highly anticipated disc golf tournament taking place on the challenging Elmer Thomas course in Lawton, Oklahoma. Gabriel Dao and Bobby Cox bring viewers up-to-date coverage of the second round, sponsored by several local businesses, including Heiser Baum discs, Hilton Garden Inn, and Madigan's lawn care. The two experts analyze the course, discussing key holes like the par-3 10th, where players must navigate around a pond and out-of-bounds areas on both sides. Kota Hatfield leads the pack at 18 under par, closely followed by Emerson Keith, Billy Engle, and Alex Savage. The trio shares similar strategies for this hole, employing sharp hyzer angles and precise spikes to approach the basket. However, with rain adding an extra layer of complexity, players must be cautious not to fall victim to obstacles like out-of-bounds areas and water hazards.
