2023 USDGC | MPO R1B9 | Barela, Lizotte, Sexton, Buhr | Jomez Disc Golf
Watch as Anthony Barela and Lizotte battle it out on the back nine of Round 1 at the 2023 USDGC. The conditions are calm, but the course is not - particularly notorious hole 10, a 549-foot par 4 with a tight landing zone. Jomez Disc Golf expert Jeremy Coing breaks down Anthony's smooth approach shot to the basket and shares his thoughts on Lizotte's game, including his impressive score of three under. The video takes place at the Rock Hill course in South Carolina, where the temperatures are mild and the winds are light. As Coing explains, this is a crucial round for competitors looking to make a move in the leaderboard, with the back nine proving just as challenging as the front nine.
