Round one, back nine of the fourth stop in the Gothro tour starts right now. It's called the Kayak Point Showdown. And this entire tour is brought to you guys by Prodigy Disc. I'm Luke Humphre, joined in the booth today by my friend, a student of the game, Mr. Matt Bell, also a world putting champion. And it takes more than putting out here. It takes some distance at Kayak Point, but we are at the scorable back nine. What are the players looking at, Matt? Yeah, they're actually looking at some manageable par 3es and fours on the back nine. Uh but first, we're going to probably get to see some of the furthest drives of the day today on this drivable par4. 7 nearly 700 ft. Yeah. Downhill. 699. It's a pump, but players can get themselves a putt. It's a risky bid if you're further than maybe 50 feet though, as it is on a null, which is something we've seen. Carter Arenss got the eagle on this hole we're about to play right here. Astonishing shot. I sat there and watched it. Card in front of him was playing a little slow, so I cruised up to figure out the pace of play. It really just it takes an a ridiculous punk from that. Absolutely. Not only do you have that the angle right, but you got to throw it basically max distance to get it there. Yeah, for those of you who don't know about Carter Arenss, that's one of the the bright talents in our game. He's got a huge future ahead of him. And like we saw on the front nine, Ezra Robinson just throwing the same disc all day, his new signature disc. And for good reason. He's got this thing dialed in. That is a great angle. It's going to be leaving himself a really short up and down here. Oh, look at that. Maybe even attempting bid now with that skip. No kidding. Got himself a look. Yeah, he was kind of arguing with it for a second, but got all the way back and the skip. Jake going with 500 D2. It did a little bit. Crazy. That was a ton of hiser he threw out of the hands. And that's where most people end up. Maybe not that far, but definitely over there on the left, setting...
