Welcome into the Disc Golf Network. You are watching the final event of the year. It is the Powerball Cup broadcasting live from Lynchburg, Virginia. We are just about 50 miles southeast of the Shenandoah Mountain Range. Taking a look at the stroke advantages. Of course, these are awarded based on your finish in the Powerball points standings. Gannon Burr Starting off at seven under par, Rick is one back, Calvin and Hemis are two back, and so on. And we're gonna send it right down to the course. One of our wild card players, Frithjof from Sweden. I got the chance to play with Frithjof at the USDGC in that horrible rainstorm day on day three. Big birdie putt, he is starting out great. That's where Ederhold in from the wild card spot Maple Hill. Knocks one down from distance. Still going DD3. Great line. Tracking the bucket. Fades just in front. We did not see too many forehand attempts the last couple of seasons. I see one here. A lot of angle on this Raptor. Does it have the over stability it needs? Oh it's gonna jump the hay bales. What a shot from Barella. I mean first time I saw this I just felt it was diabolical yeah it's a it's a scary hole design Tipton even lower does this have the energy takes the skip over the bales and hits the base Sullivan Tipton what a read i mean it just look how low it is out of his hand oh i mean nearly gets the top of the hill but everything else was right it is a one shot replay from Tipton that's a robinson t of seven across the pond bullseye q line disc that Gannon threw on three threw it nearly 600 feet downhill see if you can get this one up to a similar speed huge and just perfect i mean that is you wouldn't change a thing up onto that second shelf is a massive drive this is just a dream spot flat footing go over the top over the trees work it back it looks perfect that's a park job for Burr until I just outside C1 the screen does run away rather quick oh he sinks it wow to become a co-leader drop in single bogey coming for Hamus and it over on a little bit of angle getting back to flat and there we go you set it six and one of the easier holes on the course and it appears we're going to have multiple names at double digits by the end of the day the way things some of these guys are going so far they're teeing off on the sixth to miss those trees late it's going to get a forward skip off of them and that's just outside the bullseye yeah there's been very few changes that took place from last year to this year but this is probably one of the most significant ones they've cleared out a number of trees and they've actually brought the basket closer so this is much more attackable i think it's about 50 feet closer and we're seeing a lot more birdies as a result of it and gallery here loves it what a shot and what a kick for Burr those guys are both parked robinson wow he finds the OB on the seventh this for par now oh we're not used to throwing downhill into such a severe upslope to a little nose up a little high just look at the control for a seven under front nine he's got it great putt there still doesn't have a par to his name he's got three bounce back birdies already hasn't been much uh tour level action in the state of Virginia and hopefully that's something that's changing thanks to the efforts of the city of Lynchburg it's going to be three in a row for Burr for his second time today yeah we're at a higher point and it's coming over his left shoulder from left to right but barely significant as he's coming down this hill yeah i think he's going like splice like almost like tilt level over stability so it just almost gets vertical i've been going Firebird and also a great distance read a dejected Rick great width here from Tipton's. Just tracking the bucket. Come on. Wow. Einberg drills it. This for four in a row and for a four shot lead. Burr to the strong side. That's four in a row. Absolutely incredible shot. It's magic when it happens. Calvin, a lot of width. I'm telling you, this is another fresh Destroyer in the bag. It's a good one too. Drop in. Not a lot of margin for error here. a little bit a great bead it's a little more aggressive right and it's gonna sit again and loving this angle not the intended drive but it'll be a drop in how steep Heimburg is lining up this Heiser here he has had that eight under is unofficially rated 1056 and Calvin has just annihilated this Halo Destroyer i mean this might be his favorite hole in the world The guys made so many highlights here back to dead calm once I'm gonna try and air it out with the mid-range Loving the weight here. You have less than the circle from front to back. Gets it up in the air just a Not a lot of players that I would rather have on a hole like this I mean he is such a good mid-range thrower Fantastic touch, him and his brother both the OB on 16 first Robinson to 17, can he match his younger brother? It's tracking, it needs to skip He's gonna match it. Oh, here we go. I'm gonna lay it down. I think it's a great option. Good angle There's the safe line, it's a 908 foot hole. Oh my goodness. Where is this going? Oh my goodness Oh, it's gonna finish on cut. This is 700. It's gonna finish on cut. I believe so Sexton that's the biggest drive i've ever seen on this hole look at the angle it it crosses this safe line still screaming and i thought it was about to peel right but no the angle is absolutely perfect you can see it recut as it slows down right here that's squeezing every last bit out of that shot 700 feet plus it might be close to 800 now you're gonna put okay the hole is 1,000 feet guys, and I mean he's 150 feet away, right? He's jump putting that just as a flex To left from the drop zone about 45 feet. Oh, he's got another one from distance That was so perfect. What a day Look at this thing. Not all putts are created equal and that is a 10 out of 10. No wobble no doubt we are officially in crunch time Gannon Burr not going to lay it up this one is on line catches the willow and a good reaction that's circle one for Gannon Burr kind of just agreeing to take on a few branches there they finish bogey free seven under round one Galvin with the rock three little bit of hyzer's all he needs here it comes does it sit down looks good dealing with this hazard string and i have to think you were right on that call like that lie didn't seem to give him too much trouble with how flat it was this for a five shot lead there it is masterful performance from Gannon Buhr today making his intentions crystal clear Gannon Buhr's gonna shoot the hot round by three pretty incredible it's a dream start thanks for watching the Disc Golf Road Tour on YouTube like and subscribe for more content
