The event takes place on the beautiful island of Samui in Thailand, known for its lush landscape and challenging disc golf courses. The 11-hole course features a unique loop that will play through twice, providing two rounds per day. As the top players showcase their skills, strategies and techniques come into play. Philo's aggressive playing style is highlighted as he navigates the course with precision and accuracy. Meanwhile, Scott Stokely takes on the triple Mando on hole one, attempting to complete a solid Ace run while also playing for the birdie. The event also features insights into equipment choices, with Scott relying on just three discs: a burg, a felon, and a putter. With Philo's dominance in recent years, Tommy Lehtonen looks to dethrone him and claim his third tournament win in Thailand. Will this be the year he breaks Philo's streak?
