Welcome into round two back n coverage of the 2026 New Zealand [music] Disc Golf Open presented by RPM Discs. The third stop of the Tour Down Under right here in New Zealand. [music] And all of that brought to you guys by NVP.

[music] You're a long ways from there, bud. >> Yeah, hopped a plane about a week and a half ago, two weeks, [music] and uh found myself here in uh occasionally sunny New [music] Zealand. >> Yeah, just wait.
