Video Summary
AI GeneratedThis coverage of Round 3 of the 2026 PDGA World Championships at Kensington Metro Park highlights a high-stakes day of competition. While several players delivered masterclass performances and aggressive lines, the round was marked by a surprising struggle from Gannon Burr, contrasting with Jake Mann's dominant, bogey-free lead.
After a lap around each course in the Kensington Metro Park, we return to the
scene of Wednesday's opening round. This will be their second yet final
attempt at success with a brand new course. The
toboggan awaits, but first they must tame the black locust. This
is round three of the 2026 PDGA World Championships
brought to you by First Form. Joey Buckets on the third.
I like where this is going. Find it. Really nice. Statement made by Sallis
Schultz. Bullseye birdie. I'm excited to see
this swing. Haven't seen many attack here with the righty backhand play.
Lezotte. Little hyzer flip up. Does it slide in
there? Do it. Oh, wow.
Simon, the skinniest line. Almost drips it home.
That looked like it had ace height to me for a moment.
Oh, yes. Let's take another look at this. Simon Lezotte.
So sweet. A little inside. Does he get by at all?
Wow. Isaac Robinson. That's where you want to be.
That's the best we've seen. For sure. You could see the
aggression off the tee. He attacked that high and with
pace. This is everywhere you want to be on hole two.
See if Isaac can get something to drop in from the ceiling.
Almost about that. Almost drops it into the basket.
One of the hardest holes in the World Championship and he's going to be
dropping in. Massive hyzer from Barella and what a shot.
That's a code breaker right there. Putting it up there and hoping for the
best. Burr. Going to slide left of the pin.
Should be a round circle's edge. There's somewhat of a backstop.
I saw quite a few discs collecting in on that back side of the basket.
This is our one shot replay. Thanks to our friends over at One Shot Energy.
We'll see if Gannon fought through a little more. That's more of the airspace.
We're accustomed to seeing the disc fly. Will this get the late fade?
Oh, nice shot. Perfectly shaped. Right now, maybe you can take some of
that momentum and put it to good use.
Zach Nash tracking and in. Let's go! The forehand smash by Nash.
That's Zach Nasty if I've ever seen it. My man, I love that.
He loves that reaction from the chains. Gobbles it up.
210 foot birdie toss in. They're calling that on the hole five.
Perkins is telling us it's a little longer than it looked from that angle.
About 10-11 meters. I think it's a little tricky visually
because the FPO pin is somewhere in that shorter area.
A few of those whiskers we've seen. That should be the right bullseye.
There we go. I'm wondering if he's going to go resistor or a little bit more
overstable. The fireball. It's tracking the bucket
just in front of the chains. Getting just out of the way.
And we can see it's confirmation it is a fireball.
Oh, it disappeared into the foliage and all of a sudden it just
jumps back on angle. I mean, it was inches from the right side of the chains.
427 uphill. Probably throwing closer to 440, 450
with a mid. It didn't look like a quick driver. That is for sure.
This could be really nice. Oh yeah. Six meters left for AB. Beautiful line.
Massive opportunity. Go back to back. Get some
momentum on your side. Yes. So good. After like Isaac Robinson's
chances on a 6-12 line. Will this run out as... Oh yeah, that's
perfect. Oh my goodness. Yeah, I like his chances. I definitely like his chances.
Burr. Some length. It doesn't matter. That one's in.
That's a world champ putt for you right there. Maybe the moment that
catapults him. Gets some momentum rolling. Bumpy afternoon here on
Friday for Gannon Burr. There are moments when you must be the artist
and moments when you must be the engineer. Full-on artist mode there for
AB to shape up that beauty into circle one.
I like this shape. One of the best we've seen from the righty backhand. Yes sir.
Robinson, circle one. Down here, downhill
attitude to this one coming up for him. Overthrows it just a little bit.
Look at this shape. Never a doubt it would be him, right?
To show us how to play this one down the tunnel.
That little bit of downhill just making it that much harder to sustain your
turnover and predict your landing angle.
Beautiful drift all the way down. Perfect speed
just outside a bullseye. He's going to ring that one up.
Nice work by Gossage from circle two. That's the most work to do as he's right
on the edge of the circle. This is from circle two though.
Straddle and caches it. Bang, bang. Best putt of the day right
there for Silas Schultz. Keeps this one down the center line.
This looks lovely. Beautiful. No mucking about with that swing from the goose.
Joey's cooled off as of late. Last birdie was back on seven.
Nice movement. Sneaks past the cedar. He's going to love that.
That is incredible. What a place to land off the tee at 11.
Hard to drop a disc in a better place. I've seen one better. The bird drive that
was way up around the corner. Just a little
chip shot. It's similar for Anderson. Way right from buckets. This
is perfect. You were saying, Philo, about a shot yesterday
or two days ago? Just as good. That was awesome.
Gannon's going to have a jumper and does it
stay up there. We didn't see it come rolling back even though he hesitated.
He didn't like his footing but he's asking for it to skip forward
and it checks up. He's certainly pinched here.
Going to try to get something vertical and roll. And he makes it.
Had to pause for a moment. Didn't know if it had enough energy to climb up the
hill. He made that exactly where you want
that putt to go and barely creep over the rim. You airmail this one and you're
100 feet down the hill. Fantastic make there for A.B.
Jake Pole out in front. Get to 19 now. This would be
one heck of a scramble birdie if he knocks this down.
Are you kidding me? Jake Mann pinched up on the left side. Throws the two
finger roller to circle two and buries it.
And from one man to another, we head over to his brother Ryan.
Closing out on the 18th. Putting his approach right up there and
right next to the basket. Ryan Mann carding the old one at the 16th
this afternoon. Congratulations. Bagging an ace out there.
A little bit bumpy to start his round this afternoon.
Double bogey out there at the eighth but what a back nine for Ryan Mann.
A ceiling constraint for Mann. This needs to get to the ground.
I love it. Perfect. What a high pressure shot.
He is showing his class. Half off the bullseye.
A.C. White's been having a great round. We saw him sneak up
into the top 10 just a little while ago. And that one is in.
Okay six down. One bogey on the card. Buckets on line looking for a little
ground play. Yes sir. Slides it into the bullseye.
Joey Buckets dealing. What a putt from Buckets at the 15th.
A little out of position with that approach.
Bangs the circle's edge. A laser tracking to the pin.
Checking up. Bullseye hit. Gossage. Birdie coming up on the 14th.
There's the one prominent tree trunk that I think would be something he has to
think about. That's it. One side or the other.
They're on hyzer just around the right side. Exactly like this.
It looked like it went just inside of it but point is he missed it.
And now he has a tap in birdie. Gannon-Burr
sixth place at the moment. Still in striking
distance for a weekend charge. This is going to get him even closer.
That's going to check up into the hillside.
Right where you need to be. A short putt coming up for Gannon-Burr.
Big moment for his championship run. How do you like it? It's a little low.
Starting to swing. On the island. Clutch shot from Mahn in the circle.
Mahn to go to 21. Solid. Fantastic birdie. What else can you say about his
performance this afternoon? It's been a lot of different things but
inspiring is one word that really jumps out to me. You don't see many guys in his
position in you know on a tournament like this
stand up to all the pressure. All kinds of contenders
jockeying for position going into moving day. Silas Schultz a little hyzer flip.
Got this in the middle. That'll be inside circle one. All that
six feet. A little trickle back maybe seven or eight.
You bet. A little bumpy out the gate there but
solid performance sense. This is scent. Oh my goodness. Scent.
Unbelievable. Through the choke point. Again this one is north of 550.
With the gap off the tee. This is a range.
Regular tour week okay you know. You can see it happening but on major stages.
This is not good. This is gonna go long. This is out of bounds.
OB and depending on how far back he is he still might be obstructed.
Gannon Burr is out of sorts. Not even close.
An air ball by Burr. Inside circle one air nugget.
You just have to wonder what's going on between the ears of Gannon Burr. We know
it's not a physical thing. I don't think we've seen him like this
for years. Not since he showed up when he was
taking a lot of time to make plays. A lot of indecisiveness.
Last couple of seasons he seems to have really gotten away from that and found
his flow and knows his rhythm. This is shocking.
Gossage is putting a hurtin' on the disc this afternoon man.
Just right past Barella. Absolute hurtin' on the disc.
Apologize if Gossage birdie is that for sure keeps him
on the lead guard. Come on can he save it? He's gonna get a little anti-skip.
There it is. Slows him down. Looks like he just crept inside circle one.
Jake Klotchop for the par. All day. Fantastic. Jake Mann your leader.
Yeah there he goes. Bogey free effort today at 21
under your leader through three rounds at the world championship.
Count it. Jake Mann a bogey free six under. He's at 21.
Aaron Gossage battles back. He's at 20 under.
Isaac and Joey Buckets will round out our lead card.
