I'm the disc golf guy and this is my video blog. Feels like just a year ago we were standing in front of a basket in Charlotte and you were crowned champion and now here we are again. How's that feel? It's a great feeling. Um, you know, I'm in great company with Kenny and Barry as the only backtoback winners. So, only backto-back winners. And, uh, time champ, baby. Yeah. You're getting a shout out from what I was just going to say, Nate Doss, who is a threetime winner. So, very few people in the world have ever been multiple time world champion. That puts you in a very elite crowd. This year's been amazing for you, winning majors, traveling internationally. What does it mean to you to come here and then take on the World Championships? Means a lot. I mean, Inova Champion disc has supported me all year. I mean, ever since I pretty much started, I've been going to the classic.

No, I think I mean after the first round I was tied with Nate and then I think I got caught a couple times maybe by Nico and I know Cam caught me at least once. So, all right. But never lost the lead which is absolutely amazing. Never in second. And the other rumor that I heard and it maybe not um completely right. Did you have one or zero bogeies on the entire week? I had one bogey. Oh god, you slacker. Yeah, I missed I think probably about I'd say 22 foot putt. hit the cage and rolled down the hill and hit the band on the comebacker. So that's kind of that's got to be about as disappointing as when you missed that one putt at the memorial and you only shot that 1132 rated round. Yeah, except it was half the distance. So all right. Uh is there anything else you want to say? I mean I'll say it's been an amazing week. What else do you have to...
