Silas Schultz Breaks Through at 2026 Worlds

Somebody's feeling it. He's working off four consecutive birdies, six of the last seven holes. Silas Schultz feeling it. Channeling his inner Wolf of Wall Street little humming bop. I'm coming to get it. If I had to guess, sampling some Finnish hip-hop. Unbelievable. Off the cage and gone. Almost too far. Checking up just short of the wood line. We'll see if he can get his head mentally back in check and ready to close out this round. You see that he's been shaking over these last few holes. Schultz trying to ring it up. Can it? Beautiful touch there from Silas. Wow. His drive was nuked. You're telling me, bro. He's outthrown the landing zone by 80, 90 feet, it looks like. I don't know if I've ever seen anyone OB that far up. I mean, it's not the worst thing. He's in a great spot to collect par. It's a routine chip shot. beautiful wow what a close it's gonna be there for silas to still walk away with par silas once our cameras caught up to him unfortunately went one over in these last few holes but still is gonna come into the clubhouse with a great score see if silas can dial up a beauty here kick off his third round looks really nice statement made by silas schultz bullseye birdie silas has the most work to do as he's right on the edge of the circle this is from circle two though straddle and cashes it bang bang best putt of the day right there for silas schultz nate perkins filling us in the flight of that forella drive 485 feet didn't look like he was trying that hard this looks really good right there with forella well-thrown by silas schultz Kind of stress-free birdie you're looking for. Silas slides it up a step and a half off the bullseye. Might be a par at best, though, on the 18th. Sir! The longest putt we've seen on this hole for birdie. Most everybody's right there under the bullseye. Nice make from the bottom of the hill. Silas strikes the match and sends this one. Is this going to unravel in time? That's going to find some short grass. Oh, that's fantastic. Tell him about it, Nate. That is so far up there, and on the right side, I would think he could see the pin. I haven't seen one on coverage end up in that space. Yeah, I think that's got to be the best we've seen. Silas, middle of circle two, getting the people going out here. Should feel pretty comfortable from up there on top of the hill. Gravity's helping you downhill lie. You could think of it as the easiest par three you'll see all week. Receptive green, yep. This might be a little high on pace. Does it slow down for him? Oh, yes. Visually deceiving from this angle for us. that circle one whisker looks like it's right there but it's a little deeper from that perspective behind the tee pad let's see how this looks coming in the catch cam no doubt about it fantastic perfect spin the perfect storm just keeps on brewing up for Reiner Schultz making that lead card push that's a putt if you're not feeling it that is a very dangerous putt he has played so well Silas the birdie on the 17th that's four in a row and five of his last six tied for second place having quite a day pick up on the first with right to ship pick up ten birdies finishes nine under and Silas Schultz will be on the lead card come championship Sunday at the 2026 Worlds it's even better from Schultz It's going to track right to the pin and slides up to Bullseye's ad. Schultz should birdie the second. Always makes that heart flutter a little bit when that disc starts dragging. This is what you want to see. Never leave the center. Light work of the third for Silas Schultz. Silas trying to stay in contact. He is the closest chaser there on the card. This is rolling. This is looking great. Got to get out of the way. Wow, it's going to fly into the ravine. It's going to start rolling up the other side. That makes life easy. inside 150. Tricky line here. Ground play wouldn't hurt. There you go. Perfect. Anticipated bump and run. Nicely done. It's a pretty big difference between the lies up here slightly right as compared to where Reiner's is. I think he'll have the forehand angle much more naturally. These guys have to throw a little bit more difficult shot. I don't know if I've ever seen anyone go over the pin from that location typically not a common sight tried to send that in for the eagle let's see how close this was and as that drops down it is certainly a barbersaw close shave for us the audible crack out of the hand of Schultz this is just a missile right into position high 70s for Silas opportunity for Schultz to pick up a stroke or two potentially that's it that's it birdie coming for Schultz that'll get him to 31 under exactly what he needed after a couple dropped putts on the last two way to go get it in there close collect the birdie that drive from Reiner's opportunity here for Silas to get one close and gain a stroke back oh that needs to fade not the worst reaction that looks like inside circle one this is the putt that but Reiner's hopes doesn't find the bottom of the chains, but this is too close to miss. If you're Silas Schultz inside circle one, twice the bullseye, six steps away, this has got to go home. Have to have this. Schultz will pick up two on our leader. Silas to seven under on today's round. If he does, he'll fall back to 28 under. Schultz at 32 under. Love it. Great swing. Can this find circle one? Yes. Parked. bullseye as it slides back to the pin. Schultz will go to 33. Schultz, ambitious height, great turn. This is gonna be great. Ooh, this has to keep fading. Huge, huge smash by Schultz. Well over 500 feet. For a split second, I got nervous. He had that thing tilted to the right a lot, but he's trusting the overstability to show up, and it showed up right on time. Options from down below. That's so close. I can recall that Scott Stokely thing that happened back in Pittsburgh years ago, and he was feet away from his mark. That wasn't that bad. Silas Schultz on the green. Tap in birdie coming up. He is just outside of bullseye. Another look at the flight up onto the green from Silas. Catches a late tree, knifes him straight down into the circle. and that putt is going to tie the world championship so the most important tee shot of Silas Schultz's career here on the 18th final round of the world championships it's panning out but it stays in bounds wow that's less than a meter last year's tournament director of the world's You see Maresma just a few feet from it as it comes and lands inbounds. Oh, my gosh. Kicks off the tree. He got away with one big time. Those almost never stay inbounds. So fortunate to just helicopter down softly. In the event of a playoff, we go back to the tee of 18 in sudden death. Schultz to act first. There's that one tree up there, left edge, about 70 feet, 80 feet away. He's got to beat that one to get it close. Flex line. Does it have the right speed? Looks like it's coming in hot. It's inbounds. Schultz is safe. A birdie look. Hard to say what the length is on that for Schultz. Didn't get a good look around. I don't think circle one. Schultz one for three today from circle two. Looking to erase the memory of that air nugget back there on the island green 16th. He needs this to force a playoff. a 10 under championship sunday round now looking at a playoff what a close from Schultz he tracks him down unbelievable pro worlds the ups and downs of these last nine holes i told you guys these last nine holes were going to be something special what a show these guys have put on this afternoon does it turn it looks wide that's not going to happen man flirts with OB but again stays in bounds this time closer to the OB within a foot of being out advantage Schultz in a big way by the slimmest of margins alive twice in a row within a meter it doesn't matter who wins this it's going to be the biggest long shot winner in the World Championships in the history of our sport he's shown us nothing but hyper aggressive play so far i expect that to continue sit down no out of bounds game over man silas will be able to lay up silas schultz to become a world champion he's done it thank you for watching the disc golf pro tour on youtube like and subscribe for more disc golf content let's go
