2024 Chess.com Invitational | MPO FINALB9 | Barela, Wysocki, Klein, Anderson | Jomez Disc Golf

[@kylanpurdon8165]

It’s so crazy how Paul ran out of the commentating booth to congratulate the winner!

[@mrberry292]

😂

[@Milohenry13]

That was weird... I was wondering about that too.

[@PrestonAgner-xf5ku]

Was It Extra Exciting??

[@PrestonAgner-xf5ku]

Great Job Ricky ,Congratulations to Everyone Mr.Barela

[@PrestonAgner-xf5ku]

Loved watching you compete ,Congratulations to you and Your Team.

[@Choooooooooch]

rickey smiling at the end when he hugs AB is what its all about man

[@Happysadboyo]

They both live here in Phoenix, now. They've been putting in work this off season.

[@awyoung706]

Lets go Joey Buckets! Awesome first showing this year!

[@Lucas-gj1td]

Throwing lines! Super impressive

[@dustman96]

Heck yeah, real smooth player.

[@Jason.odrums]

Haven't seen someone take so many bad breaks in a tourney, and he kept his composure so well. Hope to see him win a big event this year

[@Prez017]

"There's his touring buddies, and Paul."

[@ChefMeowMeow]

Quote of the Year candidate already

[@southtoe3607]

When he said that heartfelt "and I love Disc Golf" while holding back tears, i lost it Bless this sport

[@reasonmattersmost]

Spoiler. Spoiler. Spoiler. Love how Ricky made him earn it. Love how Paul was there for his boy. He has been singing his praises for so long and he finally got a big win. And love the way AB approached every round. Well earned. And what a humble speech at the end. I am an AB fan for sure. Love seeing him get this. And great commenting and editing guys. Jomezpro for the win!

[@Fidellio13]

That "Checkmate" line was excellent!

[@bsmithhammer]

You just know he'd been saving that one all weekend.

[@jamesonklein9363]

Especially after Jerm kept calling the rook a “castle”

[@JMRSplatt]

This is the best version of Jomez that I have seen to date, have watched from the start! You listened to all the input and combined the best of everything you have! Scoring not revealing anything but keeping viewers updated and interested, scores for each player shown for each hole, and a general improvement on UI. Really great.

[@doranshafeer4384]

Well shit now Anthony is gonna win everything now. This is all he needed.

[@bsmithhammer]

I tend to agree. He was so hungry, but now that he's got an Elite win under his belt, it's next level.

[@leastselfawarepotassium]

I hope so. This wins been such a long time coming.

[@Wipeyourmouth]

He'll have to win 7 Worlds to be the latino dolf goat.

[@yeadogthazmyboi]

Him and Matty O are primed for big years. AB might be #1 by years end though

[@CougarBen02]

You've got to give it to him: the kid spent some time practicing putting in the off season.

[@sammyjamjar]

The Ricky and Paul era was such a sick time to be a part of. Paul is still a great great golfer but Rick still has that DAWG in him. It would be really cool to see AB and Rick battle it out this season.

[@chuckwatkin7462]

Having known Anthony since 2012 and having played with him at Emerald Disc Golf Course in Mesa, AZ, I’m so happy for him and his family. What great people. You represented yourself, your family, and the great state of Arizona very well!! Congrats on your first DGPT Elite series win. Just the first of many to come I’m certain.

[@turuspekkao]

Really happy for Jesse Nieminen at number nine. It must have been about 12 years ago that we were throwing a local course near Kuopio, Finland with my brother when he pointed out a young kid and said that his name is Jesse, he's 14 and he's already better than anyone he's seen. It's been great watching him on the Finnish and European circles and now here.

[@FlounderBoy]

Thanks for getting these uploaded quick enough so I don’t have to think about watching this all day at work.

[@nielsklaver7469]

He did it… he finally did it.. And now he knows how to do it, I think he’ll do it many more times.

[@ander2jl]

Let the year of the Barela begin...

[@SageSobek]

Great job Jomez for getting this out quick!!!

[@Resin311]

Ab deserves this. I have been a huge fan of him forever, I'm so glad to see this guy figure out that putt and mental game and take a huge win. Congrats!

[@DESR1995]

His putting this tournament looked fantastic! So smooth in all facets.

[@sparkynate91]

I still remember when Uli said the first time he played against AB, they were in a tournament on a teepad and it was AB's shot and Uli was looking for him and AB was over on the swing-set just swinging. And Uli had to remind him he's in a tournament and AB hopped off the swing and just walked right up and threw his shot and (if my memory serves me right), Uli said AB parked the hole...

[@aaronkirsch4900]

I just played this course ,…. I have traveled this country as well as Japan - Taiwan-Thailand-Mexico- parts of Europe and other SE Asian countries,… this is the absolute height of the sport so far as I have seen - just my opinion- but Disc Golf Travel destination number one period !! There’s way more elevation than what the cameras show,.. this is a workout physically and mentally! If you don’t keep it in the fairway,.. your giving more strokes than you think! It’s gorgeous and brutal - dangerous even… just amazing Disc course !!!

[@SnowTroIl]

What a way to start the season for both MPO and FPO!

[@jamesronezii983]

This is amazing. One of my favorite young talents now a days. Glad he was able to maintain through the final stretch. Gotta feel good fighting off Ricky for the first win of the season

[@Randyyobio]

I love Ricky’s competitive drive. It doesn’t matter how many strokes the leader has on him. If they make any mistake at all he always puts the pressure on them.

[@AB-yf5ei]

So happy for AB!

[@airiqtibbits2387]

It's cool how hole 11 went from a par 3 at the start of the flyover, to a par 4 half way through the hole description... Well done Jerm...

[@glitchpulver1337]

36:34 sorry but that is not the castle.. that's THE ROOK!!!!

[@Christopher-hh8iq]

Thank you! It had to be said.

[@gregorypalamara6723]

19:13 Paul Omen is pretty casual looking then friggen throws rockets !

[@youngjay210]

Congratulations AB!

[@dennis3224]

Let’s go!!! So hype ab starting the season off right!

[@a1b1c184]

13:53 "That's a crispy little shot right there....." Crispy is the way I feel every time I go to the local park. I love Disc golf just for the abundance of green and it's crispy ways...

[@TwoOreosOneCup]

They had such a huge opportunity to give the MPO champion a King piece for winning and the FPO champion a Queen piece for winning. Instead, they get a dumbass chess board.

[@dustman96]

Been looking forward to this moment. Few people have have earned this moment like AB. Congrats!

[@Dr.PatrickC.Bailey]

Joseph, Joey, Jo Jo, Joey Buckets, Mr. Anderson... You forgot Josephus.

[@ChrisSuswal-de9tj]

[@joshanderson7211]

appreciate you guys getting this out so soon, hoping this is indicative of the season. Great coverage!

[@cvat639]

Love this course and how it created a dramatic tournament with many twists and turns - literally and metaphorically.

[@FishingWithAlexS]

So proud of you AB! More to come!!

[@CJski]

Huge statement for AB to win on what is possibly the hardest course the pro tour has played. That’s so awesome! I hope we see more courses pushing the level of play and mental fortitude like this place.

[@johnnyklasing4002]

So happy for AB, been rooting for him since I first saw him on coverage. 2022 he was on coverage a couple times, 2023 he was on coverage a bunch and was so close to a win. 2024 he is gonna be a beast!

[@Sasha-jk6wo]

That's an awesome course with lots of great holes. Fun to watch and great coverage from you guys as usual.

[@Michael-dj6pd]

Great game, great coverage!

[@everettmcdonald2088]

Thankyou for Jomez, Germ, Uli, and occasionally Sexton. Last August I paid for a year of live coverage. This week I got locked out. I can’t figure out how to unlock. All I want to do is turn on the tv and watch disc golf. 😕 yep, thank goodness for good ole Jomez! Best and most dependable coverage out there.

[@tim6600]

DGPT bought jomez and did away with udisc live. Rainwater is a DISC.

[@TheQuicksilver115]

LET'S GOOO AB!!! Been one of my favorite players the past few years, what a moment!! Especially with a Ricky on the freaking HUNT and then 17, talk about pressure! Seeing AB keep his head and execute like that on 18 was so epic, wow

[@biggie4310]

Congratz to both winners and thanks to Jomez for a great coverage as always.

[@Happysadboyo]

Most emotion hes ever shown and I love that shit!!

[@Seven50ml]

Hell yeah AB! Held off Ricky that's a hell of good win. Congrats!

[@grumpydg]

That was a wild final round. Let's go AB! Thanks to Jomez for the best coverage. This course was so cool. It reminded of a flip city, just longer.

[@laureeeent]

Thanks Bromez!

[@TheSoftwareTutor1]

Awesome coverage and a great story.

[@oxBuixo]

A blank chess board? Is the the trophy?

great interview from AB at the end

[@fromda3863]

Matty O last year and AB this year is so awesome to cross them off the list and I am excited to see more first wins. Great job Joey Buckets.

[@SparJar]

Healthy Ricky Wysocki is a beauty to watch.

[@dr05guitar]

It's cool how the team came out at the end...nice one AB

[@Lucas-gj1td]

Ricky is kinda underrated when I think about it. He's been around for peak McBeth AND the blow up of the sport/rise of the young guns. Still competitive, still relevant, still better than nearly everyone.

[@Happysadboyo]

LMAO what!?? 😂😂 One of the least underrated players in the game. Everyone knows and respects his talent and achievements

[@Lucas-gj1td]

@@Happysadboyo word? He's been a top 5 player for a decade straight. Go ahead and name all the other guys who have been steady on top since ~2014.

[@Happysadboyo]

@@Lucas-gj1td yeah that's my point? No one is underrating him. We all know how good he is and know he's one of the greatest of all time. So how exactly is he underrated? You realize underrated means they're not getting credit for how good they are/ what they've done, right? 🤣 No one who knows disc golf is doing that lol

[@Lucas-gj1td]

@@Happysadboyo top 3 all time player IMO

[@Happysadboyo]

[@nordy1220]

I’d for sure prefer a usable trophy than a giant space-taker-upper, but I understand the other opinions

[@isaackazin3299]

If it was a chess piece like a king (MPO) and queen (FPO) with engraved info about the tournament that would be cool, in my opinion.

[@patrickstark4310]

@@isaackazin3299 dude Facts! I have no idea why they couldn’t have thought of that. King and Queen Trophy’s would be sick!

[@kimmomatikainen1843]

@@nordy1220 Why not giving board made of marble or something. Or a set with a nice board and decorative pieces. Something that can be used as decoration at home. That is just a simple piece of wood that looks and is cheap. I hope they gave pieces too and not just that board. And practicality of it depends on if the winner plays chess or not. I have played chess (occasionally) for over 30 years so I have nothing against giving a chess board, but that board looks awful. Decent boards with nice pieces are not that expensive.

[@thomasshamrock9731]

Way to go AB! 2nd shot on 18 had to make his heart race! Congrats man!

[@Alex-xg2yo]

Awesome!!!!

[@UltimateBid]

Can you place your disc in the bottom of the basket like AB did at the end? I thought I remember a video a few years ago where McBeth said you had to drop the disc into the basket even when you were that close.

[@benhoffman6590]

It's funny you say that, my reaction was exactly the same. I remember mcbeth saying that in the same video. I wonder if Ricky had called him on it what would have happened.

Such a technical course! 2 years ago, I would say AB has no chance... This dude has sorted ALL his problems and has always been a threat with his power but now he is dialed in on it! I only see him in the top 10 finishes for the entire season and rank 1 rating 2024. Incredible.
