It's also a Jomez video, so odds are it's disc golf coverage of some sort

Robert just made a lot of new fans today. What a finish.

[@seankent7282]

And his attitude! He was out there smiling and having fun

[@elhior23]

Great lay up.

He had me until that lay up. Roy McAvoy would never

I'm one of those new fans. That kid crushed it. Plus he's a Innova player.

Rob's demeanor is just fantastic. Having fun at all times just happy to be there. I sure hope we see more of him.

[@coopercrawford3545]

He’s so fun to watch

[@caseybunker4521]

He is a absolute blast to play around so I really want to see him more on here

[@joshuabrown1314]

Mr. Happy and Positive and the great Simon Lizotte! Would love to see them and James Conrad at World's battle it out!!

[@BaconManProd]

Maybe the best final round of the year. Holy cow the playoff was INSANE

[@Maaden84]

yea, usually they only play one hole after a miss from one or the other player. Great to see the battle go on for several holes :)

[@seymourglass26]

This kind of reminded me of Gannon Buhr and Drew Gibson's battle early in the season. Super fun to watch.

[@prestondier7046]

This card, Jonesboro, and week one in Vegas were all phenomenal disc golf tournaments. Jomez has got to be loving it.

[@andres-ebu]

It was intense, even when I knew the end result.

[@DevinK520]

Simon has been on fire this year, hopefully he keeps bringing the heat at worlds

[@t.noeltrudell-kays2004]

Simon is a dad now. He's maturing.

[@JordanPike]

That would be wild

[@Traubenjaeger]

It’s a mix of sleep deprivation and dad hormones. He is a force this season 😄

[@zacbrush5117]

Id put 20 on Simon to win worlds

[@JakeTaco83]

Hoping that too. Ill be there to specatate the last round.

[@martin_wilson81]

Apparently this Burridge guy has nerves of steel! Dudes a baller for sure! Simon is lethal with the putter though! What more could he do?

[@mal2ksc]

When someone is putting perfectly and also out-distances you even though you smash it... you hope he makes enough mistakes in some other facet of the game I guess. It didn't quite happen today, but it could have.

[@hakyulak3581]

The layups on 12-14 are what cost him

[@snakesonakane]

Easy to Monday morning quarterback. Simon could have just played worse. Sometimes you have to take your foot off the gas to catch your breath.

[@MrJermoni]

Never have the palms of my hands been so sweaty while watching any sports coverage as in this back 9, especially the playoff. Such putting show from both of the leaders in playoff.

[@tehpsalmist]

duuuude, that is exactly what I thought to myself during that playoff... so exciting!!

[@kevinmac2298]

Best finish of the year. Was always rooting Simon, but Bobby Burridge is a f’ing gamer and has gained a lot of new fans.

[@joshuahubert6560]

When you see a 50 minute back 9 and just know Simon had to be going into playoff holes with someone. This was so awesome to watch, hats off to Robert.

[@HaikesXO]

Which is why live is better lol

[@joshuahubert6560]

@@HaikesXO if anything it got me more pumped and excited to watch. I don’t have the time to sit and watch 3+hours straight of live streamed disc golf 3 days in a row or even for one day. Maybe one day I’ll be there but for now I agree with Nate “Disc golf is best watched in post production”.

This was so epic to watch live. Burridge might have been a bit unlucky today, but my god did he make a name for himself. Stoked to see more of this guy in the future.

That was THE most intense round of disc golf I have seen since worlds 2021. Thank you both gentlemen. One of you had to win. But disc golf certainly did.

[@prestondier7046]

This was an incredible final card. So fun to watch the fans and the great disc golf battle. Congratulations to the winner! You certainly deserved it!

[@kevinmoehring8259]

It was such a beautiful 'old' vs 'new'. It's happened so many times this year and it's amazing to see such young talent go blow for blow against the most established and best players in th world.

[@TheLotus2424c]

Simon has been in my opinion by far the best on tour this year. I took up disc golf around the time he was still recovering from his elbow injury and only ever heard of "Simon Lines" like he was an enigma of the past. He quickly became my favorite this year and has been a pleasure to watch!

[@Maaden84]

have you watched Simons own youtube channel? Alot of great content there :)

[@henrymanahan2764]

Watch GBO 2017. Simon throws a handful of MIND BLOWING shots

[@prattacaster]

By far?? I'm a huge Simon fan, but that's a bit much

[@jean-francoiscardinal9631]

Anyone else think that one time he and McBeth swapping lines for a youtube video might have been the actual point where the light bulb came on for him. Like “Oh wait… I have the talent. If I don’t throw crazy lines everywhere I can win!” Hahaha. Amazing final.

[@TheLotus2424c]

@@prattacaster by far may have been a stretch... it was the point to the crowd on the final putt that had my hyped haha

[@JayandM]

What a final round, big thumbs up for Robert Burridge for the almost amazing round, you got it so close which means you will get soon. Well played, lovely charisma and you can see it from his facial expressions that he truly loves the game and has so much respect towards the other players. And Simon - Once again you did it, you are on fire this year and it you will be crowned as this years champion!

[@dgarcia1688]

I'm so happy for Simon. He has had such an amazing year. I hope it continues for him, I love seeing him on the lead card. Great attitude, great competitor. A model champion.

[@Comay]

One of the best final rounds all year. Insane.

[@naedathoms3311]

Best outro i've heard Koling do yet. Definitely big league stuff. Great way to end an amazing production.

Great talent, incredible drama and exemplary sportsmanship was on full display. Add the Jomez film crew and bigsexybari commentary and this is as good as it gets.

[@davidc6032]

So many great putts in the playoff holes, but Robert's bomber on #3 was the balls.

[@friskyobriskey4322]

“We all know disc golf is best watched in post produced coverage.” Jomez with the shade thrown lol

[@playdiscgolf1546]

One of the big pros of the live coverage is they show all the big throwers that are in contention. You get to see Paul, Ricky, etc regardless if they are on the lead card

[@powertrip6426]

I feel the same way. I love Jomez but I have to be honest, live makes it much more exciting. Watching burrdige can that 55 foot putt on the second to last playoff hole on live coverage was way more exciting than jomez. There's no buildup at all on jomez. Each shot comes at you in 2 seconds. Literally. During live we all get to watch burrdige approach his lie, the crowd following him murmuring quietly, he takes deep breaths and then drains it. I could say the same about world's last year. I'm so thankful I watched that live, it wouldn't have been the same post-produced. I love Jomez and have been watching them from day 1, but live is more rewarding and I hope they get contracts with the pro tour because it's only gonna trend more and more towards live coverage in the future.

[@enjohneer]

@@powertrip6426 I like live coverage until the resolution goes down to 144p.

[@jeffro4kag206]

Jomez is so Superior in every way the dgn commentary makes my skin crawl

[@kdriehuys]

I almost always root for Simon when he's on lead card, but I wanted Robert to win so badly just for that underdog dub

[@Qpods]

Hahaha I don’t always pull for Simon but I definitely like him. I didn’t even realize I was rooting against him until I started saying “miss… miss” on his putt on 16. Robert is awesome

[@mech0p]

that pressure for a m,assive playoff like that would be insane id choke on a 10 ft putt but this is hands down one of the best playoffs. If robert keeps playing and putting like that hell be a competitor in mpo for the future to come.

Wow. That was incredible. The birdies on 3 in the playoff... Just wow. I love this game. Thank you, Jomez

Welcome to Iowa Simon. So glad to see my favorite player take the win. Happy too see you stay confident and take the win. What a round!!

[@robertschuch6949]

So happy for Simon to knock down another elite series win. The guy has put in so much work to get back on top. However I found myself rooting for Robert at the end. What an amazing show of class, and he looked like he was having so much fun battling with Simon.

[@Traubenjaeger]

SIIIIIIIMOOOON!!!! Whoop Whoop! We Fans from Bremen are especially proud at such moments! ❤️👏👏 Ps: BIG congratulations to Robert. What an INCREDIBLE good game. At the end it was just bad luck, not bad play. Stunningly great! 👏👏

[@PisgahGravelProject]

As a DSM native who learned to play disc golf in the 515 over 2 decades ago, it is awesome to see DSM host another huge event. Pickard is looking great! Well done to all who were involved, pulling off an event of that nature is no easy task, and Ty, Amanda, the DMDGC, DGPT and all volunteers absolutely killed it. Much love from Charlotte

[@Bohvey]

I hope to see a lot more of Robert on coverage. Seems like a great kid with a great attitude for competition. That was just a fun round of disc golf to watch.

Seeing Rob get excited that Simon is throwing a Simon line at 17:17 is extremely relatable. Consider me a fan.

Im definitely following Burridge's career from here on out. Absolutely impressed. I was pausing the video before each of his throws to breathe. What a great player in this tournament. Clutch under pressure. Honored his card mates. Super stoked. Obviously having fun. KILLING it with his lines and power. A professional measured on every available metric. I hope to see him on lead cards in the future. If he does what he did here, there's no other option...

As TD of the Berlin Open I got to present Simon (and Jerome) to the world, when they were both around 12 years old and really good. I’ve been watching and enjoying both careers ever since. Seen Simon win Berlin 5 times, but never saw a performance that could top Des Moines. Glückwunsch!

Burridge can hold his head high for sure. It was bad luck that took him out, he never folded. Simon with the awkward confidence just made this feel extra special. What a great finish.

[@jarretthatch1978]

Got goosebumps after watching that win. Simon is the man, great showing

[@discettegolf3363]

This back 9 from Simon was amazing! Such a clutch performance!!

[@wesendreizehn6710]

Such a well-rounded, fair course, I can totally see why the Pros like it. Well known features from other tour stops combined, the open hills from Jonesboro, the tight wood lines from Idlewild, the elevation shots from GMC, and of course the water carry. It almost looks like a fusion course!

Just played here for the first time today. I throw relatively far but seeing where these guys are landing? Absolutely wild. Also, the gaps on 5, 9, 12, and 17 look WAY bigger on camera. They also took down 2 trees on the 5 fairway. Both are early right that widen then gap a bit. The late trees all still stand.

[@ddd231]

He played so well. I took note of his demeanor, the first few holes after the ruling. I won't call it anger, but it definitely changed and I saw him in a way that I've never seen before, right down to the finger point, on the final hole. Great stuff!

[@dustman96]

I guess that balances out the stump hit.

[@seymourglass26]

@@ddd231 It's like when Ricky misses a putt and then birdies 4 or 5 in a row. That's why they've both have 3 wins this year; incredible all-around performers, but they also can bounce back from a bad break or throw with renewed energy.

[@stardustie]

That mando rule is one of the worst rules in the rulebook ever.

[@hkyblake]

Can you explain what happened exactly and what the rule is now?

[@stardustie]

@@hkyblake Simon kicked off from the left mando and towards the right one but made the mando. He then kicked behind the mando line and thus he didn't complete the mando and had to go to the drop zone. Sooo basically the rule states that if you make the mando but come back behind the line you have missed the mando. Last season he just made the mando and would've thrown his second shot from his lie straight at the basket with no penalty stroke.

[@romanpfarrhofer]

@@hkyblake Basically since this year the Mando is not a Mando anymore. The Mando now defines one edge of a "restricted space" (area) you are not allowed to touch with any part of your disc at any throw on this hole.
