2026 LVO - Go Throw Tour Championship by Prodigy | Final RD B9 | Hebenheimer, Barela, Conrad, Ellis
The 2026 Lost Valley Open reaches its dramatic climax as the Go Throw Tour Championship enters the final back nine. Hosted at the scenic AGA Farms property, this prestigious event is sponsored by Prodigy Disc and MVP Discs, setting the stage for a high-stakes duel between Jake and AB. Both players are tied heading into the last nine holes, creating a classic underdog narrative reminiscent of previous intense battles in Pennsylvania. Commentators Luke Humphre and Austin Turner guide viewers through the finale, highlighting the challenging course design that features tight fairways, significant out-of-bounds penalties, and a final green that is precarious to hold. Key strategies for the back nine are discussed, particularly on Hole 10. This 600-foot hole demands precision, as attempting to go too far can result in shots landing in the surrounding woods or OB areas. Players are advised to target the left side of the fairway to create an easier approach angle, avoiding the pinched right side which often requires difficult skip shots. With the wind picking up, managing the breeze becomes critical as the contenders vie for the top spot. This segment captures the tension and tactical depth of professional disc golf, showcasing the skill required to navigate these tricky final holes and secure the season title.

Austin, who's it going to be today? We got Jake, we got AB. They're both tied. Nine holes to go. It's anyone's game. This back nine has harder holes, more OB. Lots of things can go right. A lot of things can go wrong. things you're sure of in this life. Death, taxes, and the AB Jake battle in Pennsylvania at the end of September. Just happens every year. It's pretty much like the the Rocky story, you know, the underdog against the big boy. >> It kind of is. And Jake's been just getting him. Well, they're tied up headed into the back nine today. Only nine holes separate us from finding out who is going to be the champion this year. Hole 10 is a beautiful one. This green is precarious as well. This hole is only 600 ft, but you think you can go big. You can't. The OB bottlenecks right into this wood line. And now we have a couple trees in this little bowl. OB all around the basket. Got to go about 400 to 450 off the tee. And then you just have a nice little pitch into the corner. It does help to be the left side of this fairway. Anything right side is pinched will need to be like a skip shot. You do see people go over the top second shot, but on a day like this with a little breeze, not recommended. >> The wind has picked up a little bit and we have a couple open shots here. Got to get down. >> And that's perfect. Left side of the fair is going to open up that gap for that hiser swing on into the basket. That's completely stock from there. Jake's done the hard work.
