2023 The Open at Austin | MPO FINALB9 | Heimburg, McMahon, Mäkelä, Redalen | Jomez Disc Golf

[@fotografick]

What a round by Calvin! He's gotta be one of the most consistent players. Completely unfazed by his disastrous start to the day.

[@tannertagg7999]

So tough to not let early mistakes/ misfortune get to you. Calvin is my fav for many reasons.

[@dalereinhold640]

Once you’re out of it, it’s easy to play loose. But I agree that Calvin isn’t fazed by much.

[@daveslocum5625]

Stupid first hole boned him good. Once I saw him out of it I told my buddy he’d storm back and finish 2 back and 4th overall so was so close. Pissed he couldn’t pull it out but Gannon did shoot fire at the end atleast to earn it. This year is gonna be wild on all 3 round tourneys

[@springplus300]

He's so hilarious to watch - goes OB on a decent drive, goes ob again on an amazing effort to save par - still slams the comeback completely unphased and looks like he's about to fall asleep

[@dalereinhold640]

@@springplus300 Yes! His demeanor doesn’t change whether he’s leading by 5 , or down by 3,you can’t guess by watching him.😂

[@Captivateitmedia]

What makes Calvin awesome, he’s kind and respectful, his humour is epic, he’s a crazy awesome and consistent player in all aspects, his drives, his approach and especially putts, but mostly, due to his composure on the course, as he is so humble, never shows his stresses and just overall plays the game like a pro should. :) way to go Calvin. All the best for the 2023 season!

[@liveac3694]

Not only does he not show signs of stress, he doesn't show anything at all. You legit can't tell from his facial expressions whether he just scored an eagle or a tripple bogey.

[@johnhutton929]

Well said..

[@algamer9853]

Calvin with 3 straight podium finishes. He is going to have an amazing year.

[@papigringo5692]

Nate: "Right the ship." Paul: "That's not it." Jerm: "That's not it." Me: "My head hurts."

[@StandbyCymbalist]

Their course was not on ship.

[@mattarendall4360]

Jomez needs more leaderboard checkins and more chase card footage with these tight scores

[@escherfitzgerald6735]

What a comeback from Simon and after some tough breaks in round 2. Can’t wait to see more of this season that has already delivered some great coverage.

[@johnhutton929]

Looks like the new discs are shinin for Simon. I'm sure we will see Simon get first this season.

[@jonaharnot8490]

Wow. When Cole Redalen smoked the tourney I played with him 4 years ago, at 14, I had a feeling I'd see him here soon enough. WTG Cole, can't wait to watch you this season, Good Luck!

[@nathanjensen2902]

I know there was some talk about this course not “looking good on camera” but I really liked it. I hope they keep this event as it was very interesting play!

[@Qpods]

Totally agreed. Makes an already tight field even tighter! Some very interesting lines and shot shapes you never see elsewhere so I’m looking forward to this event maturing and progressing

[@discmanwes7915]

2:33 “six feet from the edge and I’m thinking” sounds like Nate has been listening to One Last Breath by Creed recently. Jerm definitely had the same thought as me🤣

[@mblakepope]

Had me rolling 😂😂😂

[@HarryManback0]

I was immediately looking at the comments for who caught that reference. The song was playing in my head as soon as Nate said it.

[@ChunteringBackwardsForwards]

I wish Jerm would have jumped in with a “…May-Yur six feeee ain’t-ah Soh-Farh Downnah!!”

[@zazchpalmer5254]

I wasnt sure if I was the only one that caught that. It was such a smooth transition. 😂😂

[@joshb6440]

We saw the leaderboard before hole 16 - I wish we woulda heard some insight on what they'd want to see as far as strategy from each guy approaching that hole knowing you had Buhr and Simon on the course with those scores.

[@EnginerdBrian]

@@Arrica101 Yeah. Turns out a low score helps you catch the leader

[@MDSF90]

HOLD ME NOW!! IM SIX FEET FROM THE EDGE AND IM THINKIN!!! Nice, Jerm. I caught it.

[@olasross918]

I was waiting to see if he would explain it since the other two didn't respond

[@ross302ci]

@@olasross918 I thought Nate was setting it up on purpose just in his subtle Nate way.

[@jno1686]

When Nate said, “And just to get it out of the way, we’ll take pink.” I couldn’t stop laughing. That’s exactly what I was thinking when he mentioned different colored whiskers. 😂

[@RudiBega]

I was gonna make the same comment pretty much and then saw yours. It was perfect commentary.

[@tamarockstar45]

I liked how they forgot the phrase "right the ship". "Set the sails to get that ship trucking." lol

[@westarchildren7197]

Uli dropping knowledge on the mic at the end there, and it was such a smooth ending from the commentary trio.. unmatched, what PP coverage is all about.

[@fowl_the_leader976]

Dont ever replace BigSexyBari commentary. They are the sole reason I watch Jomez Pro coverage. Simply enjoyable and entertaining!

[@traviseckstrom6069]

Feels odd to me that the live leaderboard has been the new thing this season, but Gannon's score was not mentioned until before the 18th tee. We lost a lot of context for the players' mindsets. Calvin knew he had to throw in for eagle on 17. After the disc left his hand he said, "That's not in the basket." Granted it is an oddity with chase card winners these past two weeks, but I only see this becoming more common over time as the field becomes more talented.

[@Qpods]

Agreed. If they are going to do live scoreboard check ins, chase card check ins or at least commentary on where the field is at would be lovely. Poor commentators are getting worked too hard and don’t have time to really put out their best work. Lots of love to bigsexybarri for what they do for us though!

[@cmac1573]

I think it was a missed opportunity not to keep the viewers updated on the status of the other cards. Knowing the sense or urgency the lead card needs to catch up would be very beneficial as a viewer.

[@brucehansensc]

Total agree!!!! Calvin's eagle bid on 17 to tie the tourny was not even noticed. It was the most dramatic and unlikely throw of the day. Everyone else is scrambling for par! He missed it by a foot!

[@stardustie]

I personally really really liked this course from the start. one of the very best and pro challenging designs on tour especially for this being the debut of the course. some small adjustments here and there and its definitely elite.

[@AB-yf5ei]

Väinö is such a solid player!

[@Christiancould]

I think James proctor is on track for a breakthrough season. He has been in contention for 3 consecutive tournaments now, and I hope to see him keep that up. Of course Calvin, Ganon, Eagle, the old favorites and now Cole are going to be there too, but this season is already my favorite to watch. Thanks Jomez!

[@Qpods]

He totally has the tools to put it together. I’ve been seeing his name high up in the leaderboard for a good while, very glad to see him putting it together and grabbing top finishes at a number of events. Man can that guy whip a disc

[@ablinkontime9890]

Breakthru? He's been a pdga member for 15 years lol

[@Christiancould]

@Ablinkon time I didn't say debut. He's been on lead card for 3 elite series in a row. That's a breakthrough for anyone, no matter how long they've been playing. Especially considering he's not been a consistent contender at elite series for any of the three years I've been watching. Context matters, not just years they've been in the game. We're all just watching plastic circle throwers, and i'm happy to see he's throwing well. There's no reason for you to come in with bad vibes to argue semantics.

[@juhokoo]

​@@Christiancould I think Proctor has been working as a teacher, and he has not played as much. Definitely has all the skills.

[@samward7685]

Nate saying a throw on hole 10 was about 6 feet from the edge and then Jerm following that up with “Calvin saying hold me now” was hilarious.

[@landonwebb886]

Love the dedication, best disc golf commentary by far! Super stoked for Uli’s coaching program too!

[@JMRSplatt]

That's so cool what the Paul McBeth Foundation has become. He is a true inspiration for everyone.

[@horiama]

I don't watch any other sport, but these players and Jomez coverage have me glued to my seat. So grateful for this! Thanks all ^^

[@dr05guitar]

"Calvin says, 'Hold me now'..." Jerm I love you!

[@stevekuntz3072]

You go Vinny!!! Hate to see the bad breaks, but when Vin has a bad hole he steps up to the next box and always lays down a smash. He has to have one of the best bounce backs out there. His game is all around sick!!!

[@alexlong2842]

Nate always looks so happy I love him!

[@cissell870]

The play on the Creed lyrics was too good. You guys are the best.

[@daberrlhardt7113]

Im glad im not the only one that noticed!

[@scottkuppers]

is it just me or is Nate Sexton just getting smoother and smoother each day? :D

[@MDSF90]

I think the course is great. Nice mixture of wooded and open field shots with looming hazards and OB. It can be very difficult in high winds but leaves a lot of potential to go low in calm conditions. It definitely forces most players to be smart and conservative about distance, but mostly having touch with control. I’d hope to see this course again in the cute with maybe some fixed tee boxes or new pin placements. Congrsts to the top finishers!!

[@Michaelist_music]

Commentary humor is on point. Lol'd at the hole 12 intro after the "we have a lot of experience" rant - "hole 4, par 12 - wait help us Nate" and hole 13 Uli: set the sails to get that ship... truckin Jerm: yeah whatever it is Nate: Right the ship. Jerm and Uli: ...nah that's not it

[@BPBrousseau]

Mr. Calvin "Double boges aint' got nothin on me" Heimburg, playing to the last bucket. The guy is one clean round away from winning every tourney!

[@bryanday4274]

What a round, what a competition, what absolutely stunning and hilarious commentary!!! I’m praying Jomez can pick up live streaming or day of releases in the future. This is what Disc Golf coverage should be!!!

[@sullenpuffin]

I’m in the UK, enjoyed the tour on Jomez for years now. Feels like we’re hitting a golden age of interest in the sport and insanely talented young players. Exciting!

[@jari12039]

[@juhokoo]

Ja Joona myös jaettu kymmenes sija, todella kova suoritus molemmilta!

[@zaksd12345]

Considering it's such a tight race, I'd like to see more updates on what the other cards are doing. The screen should always show the current leading score, so viewers understand what the lead card players know. Ball golf coverage always has this. All in all, great coverage (keep it up!) but viewers want to know the status of the tournament overall, not just the lead card as if it's in a vacuum.

[@jakemiller270]

I don't think Jomez is cleared to share that knowledge. That is reserved for live coverage on DGN. The other post pro channels have that content on the chase cards and it would be a bad look for Jomez to spoil their round results. I think gatekeeper has the chase card now where you can get that info. Live coverage did a great job of telling the story but post pro is just limited in what it can do.

[@tuckerbugeater]

@@jakemiller270 screw dgn

[@GoWithTh3Flow]

And that positive approach is why Gannon pulled this out. From a spectator's point-of-view this course was actually pretty amazing, despite how it may have translated onto coverage. I'm glad Gannon won this one, and his attitude is what gave him the edge.

[@BPH29]

Such a cool trophy. This course got a lot of hate but I loved watching it. Thanks Jomez for the elite coverage

[@triz313]

Cole is going to be scary once he gets some tour stank on him. This seems like an event that will be all over the place weather wise every year, and that makes for some really wild back and forth scoring. What a final 18. Oh, and nice W for Gannon! I had to chuckle thinking about all the Prodigy hate and between him and Mäkelä they sure are making some noise.

[@johnhutton929]

I bet all these players are going to appreciate all the other courses alot more after playing this course.

[@warheadsk8boards]

Nice little Creed-One Last Breath lyrical reference from Big Jerm and Nate Sexton @2:31. I see what you did there 😅

[@DavidHesselfeldt]

What a great chase card win. Congratz to mr. Buhr on his first win! Well deserved!

[@TheQuicksilver115]

Yes Vinny is back, baybay!! I remember the first time I was awed by him a few years ago, his 40-80' putts were off the hook he was banging all of them. And then the past few years of course his putting is incredible but never quite what it was his first breakout year - though the rest of his game was getting so freaking good that he was still a top 3 player IMO - but this was the first tournament where it felt like he's back to that old school count-it-in-from-anywhere throwing-laser-beams-from-75-feet essence. If he wasn't scary enough already y'all better watch out cause Calvin is going to take home a ton of trophies this year!!

[@mdwolf72]

[@StuffedBearSus]

Maybe if that was an eagle

[@neptunuzenet]

I am happy for Calvin. It was always my impression that he is the number one in the terms of sheer ability and skill, but can not hold a whole tournament together mentally. One bad break, one unlucky bogey could ruin his performance for the day, costing him tournaments. The fact that he fucked up the very first shot very badly, and played a superb round after it shows that this is no longer a problem.

[@jmwalls73]

Always love the coverage and the commentary...Jerm talks alot...would be nice for Nate to talk more.

[@seymourglass26]

What's funny is that I think Gannon Buhr and Calvin both has similar abilities to shake off any kind of bad luck or hardship along with owning a sharp version of every tool in the bag.

[@natebell4764]

I defiantly think Calvin maintains the most even mental state to keep a sharp focus throughout the tournament. I think a lot of players could learn from him and get into that same flow state. Shrugging off the bad and sticking to the routine.

[@markhornjr.4092]

Love the coverage being out early. Great start to the day!

[@christhomas1469]

As a Disc golfer that loves uniqueness, I feel like the world needs more Hole 17's! Watching pros scramble and struggle so much on a hole makes me happy, as my home course causes you to struggle often. Thanks for that!

Treating it like a live broadcast, in terms of showing live scores instead of relative scores takes away the drama for me. Like, we're not watching it live. We're gonna follow the lead card the whole way regardless of who's actually winning. Why spoil the ending of the event before the end of the video? If we just wanted to know the final scores, we could just look it up. It happened yesterday.
