What a finishing victory speech

[@bitbeak]

Not spoiling the hole, but emerson’s putt there is one of the coolest i’ve ever seen on coverage

[@chrisbondi5887]

Can you tell me which hole it is so I can go watch it again

[@Hitto212]

It really is one of the best recorded putts ever. The stance the angle and lots of people cant even putt from that distance.

[@infogobbler]

Putt of the week for sure!

[@scottwolf3973]

It was amazing for sure!

[@wacoblaze]

I mean come on..... This is the final round of a big tourney and a virtual unknown is taking it down. Very little commentary on that or even what the guys chasing him need to do to catch him. There has got to be more than a vanilla description of each hole and shot.

[@carl33p]

Agree that commentary was missing storytelling, which makes these types of events so much more exciting.

[@Stargazed1]

Totally agreed, and no interview with the winner. Jomez is def another level.

[@DBLACKJACK70]

Connor Rock! This guy has one of the smoothest most efficient putting strokes I’ve ever seen just landing feathers in the basket. How come I’ve never heard of this guy he should be winning everything! Did I hear he doesn’t have a disc sponsor? Somebody needs to jump on this guy? He’s a rockstar.

[@EricCalhoun]

A victory for short short wearers everywhere. Great to have y'all back

[@natebell4764]

Conner Rock! Never even heard of him until this tourney. He's awesome! Somebody sign this guy! 😊

[@prattacaster]

[@Nhc160]

The lack of enthusiasm for some of these crazy scramble putts, and massive drives is just criminal!!

[@Stargazed1]

Commentary was really sub par

[@davidkleiman676]

got this far spoiler free, and the match is tied! looking forward to the final 9.

[@youmebornfree]

That is what you dream about... shooting a 14 down to win against some of the best in the business. When you talk about perfect pace on your putt Mr Rock is solid in that department. Right over the rim lands in the basket making it hard to ever chain out. Id like to see how he adjust in windy conditions.

[@gnarrokomotis1914]

[@benknops4502]

really great work on the coverage and upload times. I subscribed!!

[@TwoOreosOneCup]

Small piece of advice. While it didn't matter much, but don't mention someone getting the only eagle on the day before someone on the card attempts their eagle putt. Ruined the suspense on if Connor was going to make his putt or not.

[@mitchmahoney1]

Exquisite performance! I'd love to see how Rock plays in the woods.

Please tell us what discs are being thrown. Made a reference to Conner's open bag, and have no idea what he is killing with. Thank you

[@daxmusix]

Congrats to Connor for keeping his game tight for the entire round. Don’t think I’ve ever seen so many spitouts and rollaways that poor Gannon had to endure. He’ll come back. Nice coverage by you guys, but seriously, you can’t give us updates on the Chase card, at least on the scoring throughout the round? you know we want to see that.

[@OjaiBonsai]

Every tournament the winner gets a couple good breaks or non rollaways. Those can be a 2 or 3 shot difference. Great coverage thanks

[@youtubeifinessedurvc-1747]

Why u hating

[@callXofXdutyXGuy]

@@youtubeifinessedurvc-1747 Stating facts isn't hating. Golf is about managing misses and there's always some good fortune that plays into it. There's many things that you can't control after the disc has left your hand and the guy that has the tightest game and right amount of luck usually wins

[@plugprod]

Awesome to see an upstart take down the W! Congrats to Connor, and thanks for the coverage, Gatekeeper - nice job on the mics gents!

[@tscdiscgolf8667]

Love to see all the Flagstaff Disc Golf Club crew out there supporting one of their own!

14 down, could have gone for 15, but played safe. So many bulls-eye shots from Connor. Well deserved win. Sad that Gannon had so many chain=outs this tournament, but he will get another chance. It's not always about how you start, but how you finish. And Connor proved that today. Well played to all, thanks for a great tournament, and thanks to Gatekeeper media for some amazing coverage so we could join along in the fun!

[@prattacaster]

Em daddy!!! WHAT A PUTT!!

[@VonFredrick777]

Congrats Connor!!!!!

[@sports94freak]

Wow! Great throw-in from Emerson on 17!!

[@scpscottybee]

I wanna see more Connor putting. Feels like it's not stopping anywhere but in or at least very near the basket.

[@LukasPoisson]

Rock taking down 2 giants. Respect

[@masonshankland1551]

Might just be me but when there are still players on the hole who can get an eagle and the commentators say, "so and so was the only eagle on the day" it totally takes me out of the coverage and spoils what could be a sick shot.

[@silashatch8216]

Go Connor! Go Connor! Go! Go! Go Connor!

[@TabascoSour]

Wow, I can’t believe the showing from Connor. Never heard of the dude and he’s out here beating some of the best players on tour right now. If the pressure was getting to him, I couldn’t tell.

[@Allanfan20]

Please bring back full gatekeeper coverage.

[@ScottSmith-vc5vf]

Connor and Emerson were exciting to watch.

[@scottc4076]

❤❤❤ Let’s Gooooooooo Connor.

[@caseykoenig9414]

I think this production could benefit from bringing in a pro that has played in these tournaments to help with commentary. I like how the Jomez guys provide insight about what the players are going through emotionally, different strategies on holes, etc. This coverage felt like it was missing something like that

[@nehpetsttocsnosirrag6227]

Shout out to Emerson for that bounce back. It’s rough when you’re in that funk and he came back big time.

[@remingtonputter5162]

Commentator ratings: Derek Scull: 860 Chris German: 846 Paul Ulibarri: 1024 Jeremy Koling: 1025 Nate Sexton: 1025 Now hear me out. Inexperienced athletes can make good commentators. But high caliber athletes that are currently touring pros know so much more about the game. Jomez is it! It also helps that they don’t put me to sleep like GKM

[@tomahawktimmydiscgolf60]

Completely agreed it's great that they put out coverage, but the commentating is a snooze fest. There's so much dead air, lack of enthusiasm and they commentate on all the low hanging fruit. They don't really add anything to the coverage. It seems a reason why they did unplugged stuff for awhile too

[@alexgarvey7184]

I completely agree with this. I haven't watched anything past the first round as it was so damn boring... Make some jokes, add some personality to it. Love seeing more options but could use some work.

[@dickiebrewer1232]

If the basket was the issue, ALL of the players would have had the trouble Gannon had (like Prodigy baskets for example). Gannon just needs to adjust his putt with respect to his distance from the basket. Same goes for his roll-always. If you putt hard, the round disc will tend to roll when it hits the ground, physics. Love the coverage and professional commentary. Wish all commentators would ditch the drivel.

[@Mdjagg]

Men's Pro Open

[@DocSportello1970]

@13:09 we witness a look that is not very endearing from Gannon Buhr. For the only thing to blame for that miss is: himself.

[@michellen8398]

When you’re as good as Gannon is, not executing a shot like you want is frustrating. Don’t be quick to judge what he is frustrated with…clearly he knows the difference between a miss and a spit out.
