hello everyone and welcome to the 2022 memorial championship presented by discraft we're here with a first round feature card out at fountain hills and you're probably thinking but wait didn't i already see the star-studded cast on a feature card well you did but we had another one lined up just in case if they didn't get it done we assumed this card would and i promise you it's well worth the admission we've got anthony barella on the t of one a b just inside the circle you see his good friend adam hammes and you might be thinking wait haven't i seen adam and a.b battle in a few other arizona tournaments this year on this channel the answer is yes you have they each have picked up a victory spoiler alert of the shelly sharp along with the maricopa open just the right amount of speed there for adam hames joining the card peter lunday out of norway after the pcs sula open peter and i and quite a few others had a good time hanging out into the wee hours of the evening in norway now he doesn't necessarily realize it or should i say actually the gallery back at the t didn't realize that pushed all the way out of bounds you can go deep on the left side here so peter starting out ob and linus carlson out of sweden as the fourth gentleman on the card and he goes deep and wow rides the ob line but then stays safe and really not much you can do from back there except for layup well i mean of course you can go for it but i don't know if anyone wants to start off their tournament that way but that is the way to start it off barella birdie hole one fountain going off in the background we'll see that probably a few times throughout the round fountain goes off every hour on the hour and then based on a gauge inside of the fountain it will determine just how many jets it uses whether it's one or two jets and then that will dictate how high the fountain actually will shoot up into the air so the windier it is the less likely it is that they'll have the jets running higher and therefore it won't be spraying around as much beautiful...
