Round 1 Highlights | MPO | 2026 LWS Open at Idlewild

It was 1997 in the rolling hills of Burlington Kentucky just south of the Ohio River. Fred Salas and Robert Herbert conjured up a new flavor of disc golf. It's Idlewild. Since 2017 it has been a staple on the Disc Golf Pro Tour. Previous champion at Idlewild putting for birdie on the 8th And this is one of those holes Nate Nothing changed about it. It just it went from a par 5 to a par 4 Yeah, the game changed the throwers changed the hole didn't need to change but what a three it still is I mean takes precision off the tee Power and precision on that second shot and obviously he had to collect it with a nice putt And that is Chris Dickerson earlier today finished up with a solid par putt into the wind Now what a day right there 11 under bogey free Type of golf he's used to playing. I'm sure he's thrilled Lucas Wright making his DGN debut Oh, what a way to do it up the hill You don't see that very often you don't see the park out there quick No one has carded the eagle two on hole one today Usually we see a couple Slightly downhill, but at 638 is this the ace disc you think? Wouldn't surprise me. He said he might retire it DD3 turning hold the turn. This is big. Oh, it's tracking Sexton. It's headed for the bucket It's headed for the bullseye Oh, it skips right past the bucket Circle one for eagle goes Gannon Burr nobody all day last group number one player in the world Reminding you yet again That he means business. What a shot You don't do it any better than that Absolutely perfect with the flip point maximizing the glide again 638 feet that thing probably pushed 660 tough to get as aggressive as you would need to on the elevated basket now this For the only eagle on the day Easy does it for Gannon Burr. What a shot What a drive what an approach that is perfectly played by Jake Mon The right to dream in a way the right to kind of be out there and go actually why not me? What a putt from Zach Nash Yeah, as you start to swing left you'd almost rather be shorter Give yourself some access to the gap unless you're thinking about getting crazy and going over the top Not that many guys have easy access to that play Heimburg challenging the fifth and he's gonna get the green flag somehow that destroyer bit. Wow That's a crazy place to stay Safe right down there on the downslope at the OB line Nice pickup Burr taking the least Enroute this spike hyzer over the top You're rolling the dice just a bit on how this rolls Great reaction. Yeah Call it 350 out That's how it's done textbook play He doesn't like it fortunate Fortunate to fight through, you know, those can definitely shut you down in circle two and with an awkward look He's not really gonna know Just how good that turned out. He'll be thrilled. I think to see where that thing came to rest four under through three Big distance needs to chill Wow, we've never seen anybody over here You want left gap here or flex on the right Flex I think yeah, there we go bigger gap plenty of space to unwind it What a beautiful shot Skips up gets a piece of the cage Flattens this P3X up 20 feet left to go five under through four Well five second hardest hole on the course today This is hung out Does trickle down the hill get into circle one that's well played punishing the course in the early going Austin Turner from 48 Yes, oh he's got it What a putt Has to dive forward just to access the line get the power on it To the right of the first two to the right of all of them What a window two different stories unfolded out of wild on the lead featured card Isaac Robinson his second OB And he's not going to be in any kind of putting zone from there No, it's a quick double bogey Gannon 35 feet Absolute dart I love it the control Over his game the confidence in his skill set Here it is Sexton I swear we have to meme this the way it looks back How do you like me now 700 through six Two over Oh and Robert gets one to fall so much height under it started to get overstable and he's kicked to the right Yuli from deep he's gonna cash the full flight Antipode it's a signature ulibarri move Let's go what a shot from paul. I feel the first disc golf youtube video I ever watched 2013 I watched him throw a putt just like that been doing it a lot of years. Oh my goodness AT is flipping up straight to the bucket on 11 to avoid four over strokes in a row You can't keep a good man down It's been a tough day, but Isaac Robinson as we are used to seeing continues to fight Looks like he's playing that short without twisting it over a little bit more Gannon a step outside the bullseye Are you seven under bogey free? One of the trickiest holes on the course can he really flip it up that high he can That's headed for the bucket It's a green flag He's inside the bullseye. What a shot. This is a special line. I mean It looks like a shank That kind of height that kind of hyzer I'm with you. He knows the disc so well Just one of the best forehand putter throwers there's ever been There are definitely small gaps in play. I know that right side. There's a very narrow tunnel Uh, it's probably not more than seven eight feet wide the whole way But there's a lane all the way to the green it just comes down to hitting it No one wants to be over there, but you aren't upset when you see this gap This is high risk. Yeah going nine speed through the first gap Oh get out Absolutely You hear him say I hit a one foot gap I mean anytime you're trying to hit woods gaps and you have to cross OB you're bringing a big number into play What a shot bullseye And that's going to tie him up at the top with Chris Dickerson and he's going to have an opportunity to get something He's been chasing for a couple of weeks a little bit of breathing room a little bit of control of the tournament Joey connects from 40 feet Where this found its way to? Look at this flex underneath the tree. It's a bullseye It is tasteful from the Estonian Thin gap backhand. Oh right through the bucket I mean Zach Melton talk about it. That looked like it was off the pole That looked absolutely perfect from the moment. He let go of it until the moment it splashed off left side Obviously it had way too much heat on it, but the chains took nothing off that shot him out there Bird trickles back to 18 feet I think the only putt better the Schultz make For the little bushes a little heavier weight a little heavier weight on that one But it wasn't 100 feet And closer to 40 this for Eagle Got it Just the seventh of the day But he took a little bit of an unfortunate kick there gonna have work still to do Isaac attacking the pin Oh nearly matches his brother and yet he gets the lip this to save par There's a little pocket It's gonna be on Annie Has to move quite a bit from left to right What an effort it's gonna be a bogey a little bit of a bitter taste to end a great day of golf we've known this for some time, but the there are few players who Have the lead shoot 12 under 1070 golf and are still frustrated Gannon's one of them Yeah, I mean a bogey to finish is never fun But I think yeah, most guys shrug that off a little easier But when you're a 1060 rated player, I mean 1070 is just another day He had the phenomenal start then the delay kind of threw him took four pars in a row But then it was right back to business six birdies in a row, I think on the back And then obviously a little bit of the slow finish going OB on 17 Finding his trouble on the 18th Yo, what up? It's Gannon. Hold on. It's all i'm up here. I'm up here All right. What up if you guys like the youtube videos on the disc golf pro tour Make sure to subscribe for more content
