Round 1 Highlights | FPO | 2026 LWS Open at Idlewild

Well, the world of disc golf moves fast. The players get better, the courses get harder, the stakes get higher. But after a chaotic, historic world championship, we find ourselves back to a comfortable, familiar place. It's the 10th rendition of the LWS Open at Idlewild presented by Dynamic Discs. Take a look up here at the world standings up there by her name. That green 17 indicates she is in currently the Pro Tour Finals. If you see red next to the name, it means they are not in. However, if you see red next to Jessica Gerthy's name, she is in because of her win at the Queen City Classic earlier this year. Really nice approach there. Had to land this one soft, second shot. And I would call that a soft landing, Jerm. That's going to be a look for Birdie. If there's a player that's not a favorite, or if there's a player that's a favorite that's not on Scoggins, to me, it's Katrina Allen. She has been playing prime, old school Katrina Allen disc golf lately. I think she's definitely a name to watch this week. Katrina made a great post about getting over the putting yips and how much deep work she's had to do. Rebecca Cox now for Birdie. This is going to be an important event for Rebecca. All these next couple of events are going to be huge for her. Obviously, this is her home tournament coming from this area. She's played very well here in the past. You've thrown this exact approach shot so many times. Scoggins great distance off the tee, allowing her to go Stansville forehand hyzer. And that's going to be just a few feet outside of bullseye. Good opportunity for Owen to get on the board here early. Just high enough, good nose angle control there. Solid putt for Birdie. Not many players are going to carry this in two. This is an important third shot for Cynthia. Brian and a bullet up to the pin. What a shot. Wow. All I can say on that one is wow. Modesty also giving this hole a lot of respect. Her look for Birdie will be from about 25. A well thrown just a bit long. Brian, I believe there's been issues getting certain drone coverage in the past due to the close proximity of the airport. And that's why when you see the logo for this course. Oh, come on, Katrina. Roller, roller. What a veteran savvy play. She'll have about 23 feet left to go two under. Fourth most difficult hole on the course today. Playing a quarter stroke above par. Katrina is going to help that average go down just a bit with that nice Birdie. Up ahead. Modesty on five. Loving this tee shot. Keeping it high up the hill. Okay, that should be a run for Birdie. Very well done. Oh, going with the sidearm. That was a great shot. Puts it inside the circle, inside the bullseye. Well done by the crafty veteran. A little karate chop of the forehand from Owen. That is inside the bullseye and now up ahead to six. Cox, a little stepper. Oh, put it in for par. Let's go. What a putt. The commitment to the height, the width. And when you think about a player like Rebecca, this is your Barbasol close shave replay. But when I think about Rebecca, how many rounds she's played here? She's had closer shapes. You know, this is nothing. She knows if you just get close enough, and especially if you're on that low right side, you're hyzering towards the fat part of the peninsula and she's in. Everything else was pretty good though. Hole 15, Fakas. This is way more uphill than the camera does it justice. Can't do it much better than that, Brian. She's past the dirt. She's in the grass. Come back out in time. It looks like it was. Thank you. Yeah, I hope so. You gotta imagine. As a former wizard lover, we can only hope. Fakas from Bullseye dissected the 15th to perfection. Brian, two birdies in the last three holes, and we have a new course record holder. See if Lisa is able to do it. Is she attacking the green? No, she is placing it perfect. It's just a layup for her at times. That is the second birdie of the day on hole number six. That's awesome. Tiger Boerth, the only other birdie. Little turnover here on nine, Cox. Yes, the brakes applied at the right time there, thanks to the tree. We got Peyton Cohut here on the 17th. 15 year old, but just mentioned a few moments ago. And look at this turnover, Brian. Wow, that is pretty good. Saw the miss for birdie there on nine from Monastey and now Fakas. This is nervy for birdie. For most people. Lisa, that is just breakfast. Oh man, what a dagger. Ties the course record at seven. She has one hole 11. She knows it. Gotta give a shout out here to Eliezer Middling with the ace on hole 17. Unreal, that posted Sam Green. Congratulations to her. But look at Lisa at the top right now. Two shot lead over Emily Weatherman. An opportunity on hole 18 playing at perfectly even par thus far for the round. She birdies that will have a new course record. And you know, that was a sigh of relief for Middling on 17. That is blowing out of bounds. That is everyone's dream ace. You never have to worry about those trenches again. And here she is after the ace on 18. Oh, come on. Is that a three under finish in the last two for Eliezer? Oh my goodness. What an awesome time. Ace, eagle to finish. For another talented young player. Brian, what? I cannot recall in all my years of commentary, back to back eagles, any point on tour. That is fantastic. Monastey. Boy is right. Better to miss by 10 feet than 10 inches. This looks highly technical, Brian. Bangarang. Four down through 10. She's chasing down a course record. And after finding an alternative route to the green, finally able to get the birdie. First time I heard about it, it was immediately on my bucket list, of course, as I wanted to eventually get to. And when I came here for the first time. Oh, come on now, Rebecca. A little tree direction nearly in the basket for one. That would have been an all-timer. Lisa's final approach to the pin. You see it off there in the distance. If she gets up and down here, she is your course record holder. The ceiling looks perfect. Brian, that is just a tap in for course record. What a special round for Lisa. Man, dicing up the course. The course starts to hug you a bit. Make it feel like you can't quite open up. Shoulders get tight. So important to remember to take a deep breath. Let those shoulders relax and swing. Nice, committed, confident throw there from Macy. Oh, and just going straight backhand right at the pin. In the skins match when someone put extra money for someone to get an ace and Gannon Bird just slung it right in there. He says the first time he's ever tried to get an ace and got the ace. Super fun footage to watch if you haven't seen that. Up ahead on a signature hole in the course, the KY hole. Rebecca Cox, of course. That's as good as they get, Brian. Great angle to the pin from there. Lining up the hyzer. And that'll do. That's as well as you can play the hole. Let's go. I love that. Another put your hands in there and say thank you very much moment there for Annalie. Well, my hands are up right now. They are. This incredible drive. This is what Annalie has left. Whoa. Off the koozie. Tap in birdie. And now here we are. Nina Bennett, the local. What a drive here. Getting to the end of the dirt, nearly in the grass. Turnover approach. We saw Lisa play this one to perfection earlier, man. That was nearly hunting chains for Eagle for Nina. And that's no problem. Nina Bennett clean when it comes to tournaments here in Kentucky. She is on top multiple time. Charlie Vettner champion, Bowling Green champion. Got it. No way. Strong side stick down the hill. What a bounce back from the double bogey. Rebecca from deep all hyzer laying out from the woods. This is a textbook falling putt from outside the circle. And shot of the day nominee. He said the hardest thing to do was waking up the alarm clock for the next tournament. Like, what am I? What am I doing right now? What? I have to back up a world championship. Scoggins. And she's going to get to four elevator from the top. Very well done on the green. Did a lot of river shaped artwork and created walls that very reminiscent of what we see out here with the OB lines. And Rebecca just a bowling. Yes. Hitting the concrete. Staying in balance on the green. Fantastic. And you see the fruits of her labor all these years of grinding form. She's been able to kind of keep the hips locked a little bit more instead of opening them up too early. And now she's getting to the pocket. And Glasberga. Look at this flip up. This is gorgeous. It's got to go. Another delicate balance. Just barely getting the height. Perfect. I mean, you just don't have much room to work with there. Look at this air bounce to got the flip. So pretty. Almost getting all the way back. Right with her meter. She's going to be a bullseye edge. Fantastic throw for Cynthia. I guess this whole nine. Oh, baby. Across the trench. In this 11th season on the Disc Golf Pro Tour, it is. Is it 11th season? Yeah. The the ways that the tour has developed. And no way you never. That's something you don't see. That's it. We'll get back to that point. That's a unicorn drive, Brian. You don't you don't see forehand drives finish on the green. Yes. Own. If I'm not mistaken, own could get to seven under with a birdie birdie finish. Likely a tap in birdie now. Katrina. This looks very similar. Maybe a bit more height. A little bit of an extra dip in the reachback. I think threw her off just a tiny bit. And we make our way to the green. Rebecca Cox to get to six. Hard to not root for Rebecca Cox. She has the local fan support. Covering the FBO division. Zach Melton is going to be out there on the ground for the MPO. And Valerie Mondahato. Those chains are moving for a reason. A little cage hit. It's framed up perfectly. Yeah, it is. You hit the gap. You have a chance of hitting the pail. Take a look at this again. Oh, maybe it didn't. It was close, though. And now Skagen's third shot down the hill. I'm just going to keep it low. Drive it into the grass. Objective done. Felt like a very own round. It felt like flat for a little bit, but just kept picking away at the birdies. And now here we are. I mean, it seemed like an off day for Valerie as well, especially on the green. Just not taking advantage of all the opportunities she had. Finishing under par. Solid. And no one's going to get to seven under. Right there on Lisa. One stroke back and the top two in the field are going to be Masters eligible. Unbelievable stuff here. I mean, what is age, Brian? Hi, my name is Rebecca Cox.
