Welcome back everyone to the 2026 Tanaki Disc Golf Open part of the Tour Down Under. This is the final round back nine brought to you by Gothro and MVP disc sports. I'm Sarah Hog here with Taylor Jose to call the action. >> Hey, what's up? We're also both on this lead card. So, pretty exciting to be calling our own shots and there in person. We're here playing at the beautiful Englewood Golf Club. Super well-maintained and groomed golf course that has the only permanent disc golf course as well. And we are in the shadows of Mount Tanaki. Some of these greens are absolutely insane. I've never seen a more beautiful uh disc golf course than this one. >> So picturesque. >> Starting off with hole 10.
