Video Transcript

Welcome into second round [music] coverage of the 2026 Taranaki Disc Golf Open presented by MVP [music] Discs, the first stop of four on this tour down under. All of it sponsored by MVP. [music] We are at Inglewood Country Club in the shadow of Mount Taranaki. I'm Luke Humphries, joined in the booth by Nate Perkins, a man who's been in New Zealand more times than [music] any of us. He's a veteran when it comes to that. Thank you, Luke, and well said. [music] We are in the shadow of Mount Taranaki, but unfortunately, it doesn't block the wind. Last year, it was 20-plus all 3 days, 1 day of 30-plus, and this year it's turning out to be the exact [music] same. Yesterday, it was windy. Today, we thought we were getting a reprieve. It's not the case. It's 20 to 30 mph all day off the coast. We got Levi Stout. He somehow managed to play bogey-free. [music] He is undoubtedly the best New Zealand disc golfer, potentially all time. I say that thinking of Simon Feasey, who is, I think, an 11-time MPO New Zealand national [music] champion, but Levi playing at a high level. He's beating Bradley Williams by four. Looking forward to that battle today. He's beating Jonathan Wake [music] by six. Jonathan played a stellar round yesterday. He's 980 rated. I look forward to playing with Jonathan every time I come down here. He's a lefty. He's known for big-time rollers. I hope to see a few of those today, see how they hold up in the wind. And then, we've seen Aiden Scott on this coverage before. He took down Te Pā last year. 1023 rated out of Chattanooga, Tennessee. Here we go. Luke, if I recall, today, it was just a little different than a pure westerly. We had a little bit more swirling winds today. Hard to read. Off the tee of [music] one, it felt like head right to left. I think you're right. And it was definitely hard to read today. Yesterday was a little more directional. You could see the clouds. >> [applause] >> That's his home course, the southernmost course in the southern hemisphere. Yep. Way down there in the south. Pretty windy, though, so he knows what he's doing in these winds. Suits him well. Similar style of golf, as well. I played down...
