2024 Texas State Championship | MPO FINALB9 | Barela, Aderhold, Buhr, Ford | Jomez Disc Golf

[@jcjcjones33]

Great showing for Ezra. Really happy to see him perform well on camera.

[@natronsf]

I happen to agree…and let’s be honest, his bulge is just as big as his muscles.

Thank god we have someone who looks like an athlete

Jeez Ezra lay off the weights bruh. I hope he puts as much time into stretching as he does gains. Bro is swol.

[@ericfirkey9860]

Ezra seems to be steadily improving. It's only a matter of time for him to be one of the top players as well.

[@davidthompson1226]

Uli with the T-11! I feel like he's been scoring consistently over the first few tournaments. Good to see!

[@prezkyle]

A changing of the guard, from McBeth v. Wysocki to Barela v. Buhr. AB storms out to big leads like Paul, and Gannon chases down like Ricky. It was exciting to have a season like last year where every tournament was so tight, but theres nothing like the top 2 in the world slugging it out shooting legendary rounds. I can't wait to for more tournaments

[@nickbaker8066]

add Niklas in there and we've got the next 15 years of elite disc golf sorted out!

[@bongwater642]

More like barela vs Aderhold

[@ACrossland22]

​@@bongwater642Aderhold is a great player and absolutely killed it this weekend. But Barela and Buhr have pushed the pace at every tournament so far, not to mention already have wins. Aderhold is great, but he isn't with these two yet.

[@joshsnyder629]

Shout out to Mason Ford for being one of the few pros I've see that carries a retriever.

[@kugelvig]

And he never needed it for his own disc's.

[@paulrodgers7843]

Incredible level of play. Also shout out to Paul and Jerm for super solid finishes, hope to see them on coverage this year and I'm confident we will.

[@triple_five_soul6439]

I have so much respect for AB for the way he handled himself during the fail at the European Open, I knew then, that was going to be his forging in the fire had he maintained a professional demeanor in that moment and he sure as hell did, that spoke volumes of the kid and I believe it was the keys to the kingdom of which he has currently stepped into and is now enjoying his throne! The humility and composure he continues to keep on display are what true champions are made of.

[@nordy1220]

Well said, been thinking the same thing!

[@SQweeQs]

Anthony and Gannon looking like primetime Paul vs. Ricky

[@ShrewberryFarms]

Those GB spit-outs looming large this year. Well played Anthony!

[@JustinWayneDawg]

Hey a player needs to understand the nature of the baskets. Clearly taking some velocity off those 25' putts will fix that.

[@mattthemonster666]

@@JustinWayneDawgdisagree. A basket should catch dead center putts. Mach X does

[@JustinWayneDawg]

@@mattthemonster666 lololol absurd take. Every single sport requires finesse. Basketball players don't heave a shot from the free throw line the same as a half court shot. Second basemen toss a grounder underhand to first base when hit just outside first baseman's range. He can do what he wants, but that would be mental. The problem is clear. It needs less velocity that close.

[@mattthemonster666]

@@JustinWayneDawg but basketball doesn’t use hoops made by different manufacturers and designed differently. He isn’t spitting out from 10 feet. Those putts were outside 20. I think a basket should catch dead center from 25 feet with a putting motion. He isn’t throwing

[@JustinWayneDawg]

@@mattthemonster666 no one else had that problem. The odds of it happening to the same player twice are astronomically unlikely. Clearly there is one factor that's different. And besides, everyone else is playing on the same basket as Gannon, so that argument is void, though a standardized basket would be fine.

[@TrashcanSoup]

9:00 Water Moccasin/Cottonmouth + Copperhead are the ones to watch for in TX

What a time to be an Arizona sports fan! Yes, I consider AB to be my “local team” despite other players living out here. He is the true hometown hero!

[@seymourglass26]

To be fair, nobody reps Arizona like AB. He's got Diamondbacks on like half his clothes.

[@dowhathappens89]

I have to say, I wasn't a fan of the new intro song, but when the tournament is tight coming down the stretch, it really amplifies the intensity! Great work on that!

Seeing a completely new level of disc golf with Gannon and Anthony. I’m glad to witness it

Thanks Jomez crew!!!!!!!

[@derekhernandez2717]

Well played everyone. Kudos to AB for the win. Way to run it down Gannon. Ready to see those two duke it out some more.

Wow just finished watching. Pressure down to the end and nerves of steel. Young guns shooting lights out. Wonder when It'll be 7 foot giants stroking out 200g discs @ 700 ft. Feels like that's where we're going. Loved Mason being chatty to break the tension. Seems like he was doing that on purpose a little, trying to help out the contenders. Props to Uli and Jerm quietly showing their game with their respectable scores. And great commentary also. Some people are naturals.

[@quadrumvirate86]

Gannon vs AB is shaping up to look like vintage Macbeth vs Wysocki this season. Factor in the return of Eagle and Calvin once he gets his forehand back. Very exciting stuff.

[@dschonsie]

What happened to paul, ricky, kevin or eagle? Do they even play this season?

[@ChrisSuswal-de9tj]

Eagle has been injured this far all season hasn't played yet. Ricky was podium (2nd place) in Florida 1st tournament this season. Paul is struggling with his game and I don't believe played this week. And you can find Kevin Jones at the bottom of the scorecard in pretty much every tourny these days

[@Swimmydude11]

@@ChrisSuswal-de9tj Paul is injured as well, similar situation as Eagle actually. He's procrastinating on getting surgery because it would put him out for most if not all of this season. Paul will play Jonesboro. Eagle is coming in the following tournament, MCO. Ricky is doing fine. The field is just really good overall. Lol KJ, he seems to have lost the drive to really push for a win since securing that fat paycheck.

[@rfwhyte]

I have a feeling we're going to be seeing a lot more of AB & Gannon as the 1 / 2 finishers over the next decade. This season really feels like the coming out party for then next generation of dominators at the top of the sport. The only real question left at this point is whether or not there's another young player who can find the consistency to join these two as the top dogs.

[@JustinWayneDawg]

Lolol Calvin isn't going anywhere unless he gets bored and goes to work for SpaceX or something.

[@Poksutin]

that top 3 made discgolf look way too easy...what a fucking round 🤑

[@Donaldstoner]

Just as an fyi uli and jerm, that blue disc you guys said was a zone os that ezra threw was actually just a ringer gt top zone. Very slightly more overstable than a zone but nothing close to zone os

Would like to hear more from Jerm and Paul about what the pressure feels like coming down the stretch.
