[@manuelmenacho736]

This has to be one of, if not THE, best ace ever recorded.

[@Warkive]

I don't really have much justification to support this thought, but I still think the nod goes to Feldberg on #3.

[@micah_lee]

@@Warkive That one is in tournament and on “the windiest tournament round” I think jerm said. But this hole is much much more difficult than that one. it’s close

[@tkyo313]

One of. Thee best is eagle McMahon calling his whole roller off a stump ace then executed exactly like he said.

[@daviddemarse8888]

For sure

[@manuelmenacho736]

tkyo313 forgot about the roller, top 3. But KJ fell, who aces when they slip?

[@Gtchy1230]

Kevin just hit the best ace of 2020. Possibly the best of the decade.

[@davidkinsel3162]

Philo's albatross comes to mind

[@Resin311]

@reelkena the eagle ace is dope but cmon man. KJ 530 ft, low ceiling, tight gap ,slip and fall into the bucket.

[@kimmomatikainen1843]

@reelkena I have tried roller aces quite many times, but never and those are really cool. However, Eagle would make 10 of those if he spent an hour trying to get as many as possible. Kevin would not make it again even in 10 hour. Kevin's ace was more difficult to achieve, in my opinion. Roller aces have something special, but it was a short hole and root in a perfect place in front of the basket.

[@finnjon5049]

@@davidkinsel3162 Astonishing shot but not an ace.

[@micah_lee]

[@darinladd5312]

Yeah. He’ll be running on adrenaline-maybe for a few days-but that knee gonna swell up and mess up the tourney. Better get some pro quality sports medicine tonight! (Monster bong hit. I mean MONSTER!)

yeah not only is it an ace, it's over 500 feet through a straight woods gap, how is this real?

[@ogs1mpson609]

500' is a wild shot let alone a 500'+ ace?! are u kidding me

How far would you say that hole plays? Looks just a little bit downhill but camera can always be deceiving.

[@kevinmac2298]

Between the tight line, distance, and him falling over on the throw this is the best throw I’ve ever seen. Don’t care if it’s in a practice round

[@pauljensen7748]

It was in a skins match I believe. The OTB GK PRO skins series they have been running all season the skins match will probably be posted next Monday.

[@pauljensen7748]

Agreed best throw I have ever seen.

[@sethwolfman7335]

[@raymondvorndran4306]

Not really a practice round per se....a skins match, however, blatantly EPIC none the less!!!!

BEST ACE EVER!! 500+ is amazing enough on its own. The fact that he fell and still made it was absolutely incredible! Top it off with the fact it was on camera, I can't even...

[@Resin311]

would he of made it if he didnt trip tho

[@EB-bl6cc]

yeah hard to top. Only thing that would make it better if it was in a major tourney or something, but still

[@winstonsmith11]

And THAT hole. Most guys don't even make it out the gap. And if they do, it's usually 30 short. To even be chain high is ridiculous.

[@bigair785]

We'll be seeing THIS Ace replay for decades to come. Legend has it that Kevin's knee tingles before any ace on his card.

[@scottc4076]

KJUSA asked at the score card.....”Anybody else get a ONE”. Great shot KJ 👍👍👍

[@michaelbittner1451]

Nah, his name is Jump Putt Jones man

[@pauljensen7748]

Watch all the tournament footage from years past. Maybe once a year does any of the pros make it to circle 1. Best ace of all time.

I played this course again recently and as I came up to this hole I was like man I think this is the hole Kevin Jones fell on and then aced. Then I looked at the layout of the hole and convinced myself I had identified the wrong hole because it would be so impossible to ace this. That's how fucking hard of a shot it is.

[@JokerJack2012]

Eagles roller ace still #1 this year but nice full commitment Kevin glad he's ok all aces are amazing gets the blood flowing that what we are all out here for congrats

[@JesterRace139]

This is amazing but the fact that Eagle called that shot exactly makes it #1 in my book too.

[@zorrojolly4812]

[@michaelhigbee4151]

I’d say eagle is more consistent, but Kevin is definitely top 3

[@MrBlackbergk]

Everyone needs to be scared, hes going to win some worlds

[@DaradeDesign]

He should negotiate a percentage off this video. This will be around as long as disc golf is around. When disc golf pops, this videos royalties will be like selling a pizza for 20,000 bitcoin.

[@johnhutton929]

The fact that Kevin was still able to release it cleanly in the middle of falling is just absolutely insane what a freaking crazy Ace. I hope you didn't hurt yourself and that you're okay.

Absolutely magnificent. Everyone claiming this is one of the greatest throws in the history of the sport is spot on. It's absurd to even imagine a line that clean, let alone execute it. I am shocked Indiana Jones didn't show up and grab the disc, "It belongs in a museum."

[@ThePackMan34]

Ice that knee, KJ. That did not look like a fun landing. Great shot, though.

[@kruksog]

Totally. He clearly has an adrenaline high in the post interview (and yea. Just an ace would do that for me, but that's KJUSA.) That was a scary looking fall, and it's clear it was scary the way you hear someone off camera yell "No!" Like a star in the NFL just blew their achilles. People were seriously worried for at least a sec. Hope he's ok. Love me a KJ performance.

[@johnmaher5887]

He did exactly the right thing, allowing himself to roll around onto his back and bringing his legs back around in front of him. He did hit his knee pretty hard onto the pavers, but he could have easily ended up with one leg twisted underneath his body and torn something. Very lucky. After placing #1 at GMC it would have been a tragedy to not have him in this tournament (and likely the final tour championship as well). The fact that he got an ace on a long, difficult hole, while falling, makes this extra amazing.

[@timothyahalley5064]
