2024 Bottle Lake Open | RD1 F9 | Ellis, Berry, Stout, Oman
The 2024 Bottle Lake Open is a high-stakes tournament in New Zealand's championship series, and Luke Humphrey is joined by friend Mr. Tall Paul Oman as they take on the challenging course. The pair are excited to play an open-course layout that feels like home after last week's technical challenge. Notable competitors include Cory Ellis, a young gun from New Zealand, Levi Stout, who has been rated 1007 and finished fourth in Auckland at the previous championships, and Joseph Barry, who impressed in his debut appearance on this coverage. The course features a mix of par fours and short, technical par threes that require precision and skill. Thanks to sponsors Idio Sports for their support, and PDGA for allowing them to broadcast from Bottle Lake Open. The tour director, Henry Pearson, is also credited for his help in making the event happen. With its picturesque setting and numerous obstacles, including OB lines and tight fairways, this course demands the best from players like Ellis, Stout, and Barry.
