Hey everybody and welcome to final round coverage from Jones Productions of the Jonesboro Open in Arkansas. You got big sexy commentary in the booth. We're we're coming to you via Skype. We're excited to be here. Yeah, we got a nice little ninestroke lead for Ricky Weissaki. Um, but it's a nice little uh battle for second place with Johnny McCrae and Simon tied at 26 under. Chris Vickerson and James Conrad are at 24. And um, this course, the disc side of heaven, is a bombers paradise. A lot of open shots. Um, and so we're going to see the disc fly today.

It's way further than it looks. And especially with the the uphill behind the basket. Really not a whole lot of benefit. Oh, here here's a nice shot though, Simon. Yeah, he finally learned how to keep that thing directly in line. He had been just off to the right or to the left uh the first three rounds. And um him and I were actually both pretty ticked off cuz we're like, "Come on, we got to birdie this hole." And he looked at me...
