2023 TruBank Des Moines Challenge | MPO FINALB9 | Buhr, Babcock, Lizotte, Barsby | Jomez Disc Golf
The 2023 TruBank Des Moines Challenge is presented in this video's final round back nine coverage, showcasing the MPO league card tournament in action. The event has been shortened to two rounds, and Brian Earhart joins the commentary team, providing insights into the tournament and players' experiences. A wild week was marked by mixed emotions from the competitors, with some struggling to adapt to the unpredictable weather conditions. The video focuses on hole ten, a challenging layout that proves particularly treacherous when gusts reach 30 miles per hour. The scoring average at this hole was just five strokes, making birdies all but impossible to achieve. However, as Simon points out, recent practice sessions have seen a new tee pad emerge, which has opened up the possibility of a left-handed approach. This development benefits not only power hyzer throwers but also sidearm players and lefties alike, transforming an already daunting hole into a more favorable one for a wider range of players.
Watch top pros like Ricky Wysocki & Simon Lizotte battle for the win at the 2023 TruBank Des Moines Challenge.
