The 2024 PDGA Masters Disc Golf World Championships continue as Grant Zelner and Jennifer Allen break down Round 3 action from Swope Park in Kansas City. The halfway mark has been reached, and the heat and humidity are back with a vengeance, accompanied by a strong right-to-left wind that's forcing players to adjust their strategies. Jennifer shares her insights on how the wind is affecting gameplay, particularly on holes like #1 300, which requires a careful approach to navigate the obstacle-laden fairway. With Stephanie and Vincent Scoggins in contention, Grant and Jennifer analyze the challenges of playing from the middle, where the wind can push discs off course. Watch as they discuss technique, disc selection, and the key factors that will determine who emerges victorious at the end of this marathon major tournament.
