Pro Disc Golfer wins their FIRST TOUR EVENT after 4 Month Break

Does it have enough philo Looking good. Oh my what a way to start the round Rode that left to right wind into the bullseye New tee pad on hole nine, they backed it up Not quite as extreme of an uphill tee shot, but much further Smith now on the 12th Makes the mandatory Well, this is where Evan Smith ended up on 12th Just flashed the bucket he's gonna collect another birdie philo Close this angle off a little bit. I think that's working for him. You can get this thing hyzer to flat hyzer through the gap Green flag. He's working Smith for another birdie. Can you speak on that delivery from Evan? He's in flow state right now. It's quite obvious. Everything is lining up hand is on the chains Evan Smith on 15 good position Now you want to see it sit get down Oh just in front of the bucket. We're loving it another circle one birdie look coming up for Evan He's moving he has four pars through 15 holes three holes remaining Evan Smith One of those guys on that list philo 1040 rated without a win From the looks of it looks like he wants his name off of that list. Mr Perkins, he's worked himself into a nice little lead three strokes. In fact over our nearest clubhouse Competitors Zach Nash Bryant TJ real Well, Evan's been playing some good golf off the tour philo He just had an amazing comeback against Anthony Anselmo over in North Carolina Evan Smith also a father that is a big reason why he has taken some time off the tour Super cool so many of our competitors these days getting married having families Doing all that and being on tour that's Sure is a lot man. But congratulations to you guys. Best of luck healthy, baby Look this is going to be pushing 1080 golf philo and he went one over on his last three Really amazing day, man. I know he's going to be a little frustrated with that ending bogey par par to finish but man that guy's Effort on the afternoon something to be commended That looks a little under committed doesn't have the length I was with you man. That was low that challenge that tree that is inside the ob Evan Smith turning one over the pond That's dropping that's headed for the basket philo. Oh Wow perkins good eye. It's the band Insane run from smith that was so close. What a great reaction, too I mean that could go anywhere and instead it stays just outside the bull's eye facts that could have usually caught band and hit the reverse and into the water He's running for it for sure We've seen a lot of those hit that and roll straight back into the pond especially if you hit the front face of it, yes Oh my it's evan smith's first circle to make of the tournament. Wow, what a time to snag one as well Yeah Definitely a very different look here as we know we still have quite a bit of grade in terms of going up the hill however They have a much better vantage point now We see the fpo still play from the shorter tee, but this longer tee providing a much more difficult shot And that one's coming up and is going to check up just in time No problem for the forehand Yes Matching that of adam hammis from earlier this afternoon who was on the absolute heater I'm gonna fire it on angle down the hill. This is tracking gonna get the forward skip that circle one In the hole, are you kidding me? This man is a robot today Yeah, man, that was awesome smith having a day out here at pickard park picking this place apart shot after shot seeming unflappable out here I love the initial shape. It's just gonna fade on time. Oh, look at this My man is gaming gaming Oh, yeah for sure first tournament coming back to us and um, that would be Nice thing to have the lead card under my belt. Um I know everyone is playing pretty good. So Anything can happen? All right. Well, that's nicole's onto a 10 under today. We'll see you tomorrow. See you. Thank you Well, what game are we playing philo? He's playing i'm trying to touch him all today. He almost throws that in for an eagle What an incredible performance it's been for evan smith through 13 holes As nicolas is saying. Oh evan's playing pretty good. He just don't squared up with the gap and just flex zone Just got to trust it out there along the right side Right at those feather banners llb in the first ones. There you go on that line and hold straight This is dragging a little early. That's actually evan going putter Wow, it looked early, but it was a slow disc just dug right in it's gonna continue I mean, it's gonna be eight in a row. He's gonna be 13 under through 15 Keep on smoothing through. Yes, sir one to beat Into circle one two steps off the bullseye. He can do no wrong Through 16 holes. I mean pilot there is a chance that we are looking at one of the highest rated rounds all time All right, finally we were just talking about the highest rated round all time 1132 by mcbeth, but ricky wysocki has the highest ever on the tour 11 17 Mcbeth was back in 2013 at the memorial Yes hand and window disc will follow beautiful Can't do much better It's that split finger power grip man. Look at the delayed Rotation in the left shoulder One angle close to 70 miles per hour It's gonna be a 15 under par more than likely phylo more than step outside the bullseye That's too close to miss man. That's guy's been perfect from circle one 10 for 10 on the afternoon. This is Unthinkable. He's gonna be 25 under through two rounds That's it phylo Birdie number 15 on the day I'm, not sure if the fans out there realize what just happened for evan smith. The guy just went God mode out here at pickard park a 15 under round two of the discmania challenge unofficially 1107 evan smith is averaging 1094 through two rounds Hot hot hot evan smith on fire out here in indianola, iowa shredding absolutely dismantling pickard park There it is Asking for it to sit does hit early. That's perfect perkins into the bullseye What a recovery from the opening hole jitters for smith Have a great look just waiting for the last minute to open up the left shoulder that's shaping up here the velocity. Oh It's gonna jump up and nearly hit the bucket Just what evan smith needs Very slow start this afternoon one down through six holes Yes evan smith There's pressure. I'm, just not seeing it. He's responding to it very well All right, look for a split second like he early released that that should work out just fine nice depth to that hyzer I get that same nope perfect when I see evan's shot sometimes it feels like it comes out early This is an easy up and down I mean, I I feel like I could put a blindfold on him and he should be able to get up and down from here Such a great tee shot He's pushing up to the left side of the hill and he's gonna leave himself 18 feet Certainly not the 55 footer that he had to hit yesterday He's gonna step it in From outside circle two another dreamy Potter it just is floating in the air forever What can you say what can you say man, there's a little flare on this title Again If you're not impressed yet, I don't know what else this guy's got to do What else does he have to do to impress you? I mean this guy is sending them in from everywhere How magnificent of a victory will it be record setting Just a good old-fashioned spank into the field Gotta fade get sneaky find the gap. It will it's gonna be just outside the circle What can you do man? Everything's working for the guy Ice cold Setting them in Pretty rare territory here philo No doubt twice in the past seven years. We've had back-to-back winners First time winners. Yeah back-to-back back-to-back first time winners 2023, of course cory ellis and colbert dollin But one before that you got to go all the way back to 2019. Yes Evan smith gets his first title on the disc golf pro tour Challenge presented by true bank and first time vgpt champion. Evan smith Multiple times this weekend you and I talked about your game and what you were doing out here And we almost came to the agreement that it's boring. Is it actually an appropriate word? So my question is if this is boring golf and you're winning and smacking down the field. What does exciting golf look like to you? uh I don't know. This feels pretty exciting right now. So We'll have to see I don't know Also in talking to you before this final round you were on the phone with your wife You have a newborn of just a couple months What does it mean for you and your family and your career choices to be here now as a champion? Yeah, I uh, I can't wait to get home. Um, my wife's already been like yeah, he's growing so much and even like missing like a week I'm, just like oh man that that kind of stinks. Um, but he was smiling on the phone this morning so like that kind of made me feel better and uh, he's like kind of like in like the Kind of not really talking stage but like kind of blabbering so it's super cute and he's the best baby ever and she's the best wife so You've been on a list of one of our top players that hasn't quite secured a pro tour victory You're now forever wiped off that list due to what you did here today Let's look ahead. What are some of the goals? What are some of the things we should expect out of you and your career? Um, I don't know. Well, uh, we'll kind of have to see how it goes I didn't even expect to be here. Honestly, um, like I wouldn't have been here if not for my sponsor mark at yeet street Um, we sat down before the beginning of the season he was like whatever you decide to do just know that we're backing you and that meant a whole lot and I told him I was probably just going to play the first four events and then kind of see how it went and maybe play worlds and uh GMC and MVP and he was like why not play Des Moines as well. You played great there and um Yeah, I mean that and like a bunch of other things and just like it's just amazing seeing how god's been working over like the past few months and Yeah, gosh. Yeah, it's just crazy to see Well that final round philo unofficially 10 54 the event average 10 80 for evan smith doesn't get the record but nonetheless a memorable performance Thanks for watching the disc golf network right here on youtube like and subscribe to get more disc golf content in your feed
