I'm the disc golf guy and this is my video blog here we are after three rounds and I'm joined by niik LC Castro who looks to be in second place at the usdgc how you doing today Nico I'm feeling pretty decent I shot a good consistent round I think uh will just outplayed me today he hit a few more putts than me I had a kind of a couple Heartbreaker putts they could have went either way I missed a couple putts slow but uh he's a good friend of mine I I think he knows I'm coming on strong tomorrow and you know it could go either way the ropes could eat people's rounds alive out here you know you never know what's going to happen till it's all over so you didn't really make too many mistakes out there uh I think you had just one OB which isn't bad will carded a 12 under with no OBS which is very impressive solid when you were out there are you thinking how much are you thinking about those OBS I mean I know they come into play on every single hole much thinking about it on every single shot just play the safe side of the green and try to give myself opportunities to make putts and just so happened I mean I I was putting really good at the beginning of the round but I slacked on a put on hold 10 I left one low on 10 and then I had one that was kind of like a slice out hit the back of the Ring like something like this in and out on whole 14 so there's a couple Strokes I left behind I'm just hoping to have my best round of the tournament tomorrow getting the low 50s and uh get myself a chance for the repeat here we saw the Putt and we were doing the live broadcast and we actually saw that putt going in on 14 we had no doubt about the fact that you were running at it you were you were just short of the sidewalk you ran at it it was all but completely in and came back out I think if anyone saw it on replay very close you would definitely think that was in so that was a little bit of a heartbreaker...
