2023 European Open | MPO FINALB9 | Heimburg, Barela, Ellis, Klein | Jomez Disc Golf

[@travisov]

Man. I went from feeling awful watching hole 16 to laughing out loud from the high 5. Good stuff.

[@ander2jl]

Somehow your comment made it better, thank you. lmao

[@stopdropanddrumroll]

That was a real tear jerker. Glad we got to know Corey in the practice round. Seems like such a great guy and well deserved victory. Feels bad for AB, but he will get his win for sure

[@travisov]

100%. Watching him in the end was the most emotion I've ever felt watching disc golf. He's so easy to root for.

[@weggimbuoe]

@@travisov It was hilarious

[@mlghardscopeftw419]

Love the chase card check in! Absolutely necessary when the chasecard is even with the leader/leaders

[@dustman96]

Anthony really held it together considering what happened. Never seen Calvin fold so many discs. My favorite disc golf event and it didn't disappoint. Great coverage as always. Maybe work on that audio issue for next year.

[@winstonsmith11]

Corey was so overdue for this win. Ever since what happened on 18 at Maple Hill last year, I've been pulling so hard for him. Way to go, Corey.

[@randyward2766]

He's just such a nice guy. So glad he has a big win under his belt. You could feel how much he felt this one in the post interview.

[@TheQuicksilver115]

Calvin is just so God damn good even when he has rough rounds he's still always right in it still. So crazy!

[@swampieandgreenie]

Badass. Love the emotions. Was rooting for Calvin, felt terrible for Anthony, ending up happy for Corey.

[@papigringo5692]

SO HAPPY for Corey Ellis. I said earlier this season how much I love the way he throws, and even more I love his demeanor on the track. He seems like such a humble and decent guy. I loved watching him take this down, and I loved seeing him let go of some emotion toward the end. And, of course, in the post-round interview. God bless him. I hope to see him win a lot more.

[@TheBiggerDavo]

Ive been waiting to see this for a while now. Corey Ellis is one of the big dogs now! I'm playing his home course right this moment.

[@jrodsadventures9784]

Congrats to Corey for the big win! Also congrats to AB for keeping a professional composure through the struggle. Nikko would’ve been cussing up a storm lol

[@BlakJedi907]

Seriously. I think I've seen AB lose his cool at more minor things back in the day. Really proud of him for holding it together there; he's grown a lot. And so has his putting! He's gonna be wrecking the tour soon!

[@OkieTradez]

yessss show us the chase highlights on lead card coverage ... amazing!

[@schaissewolfhausen9363]

I feel like the pressure of having Paul McBeth caddy for you would outweigh any pressure you could feel from any single shot. The GOAT is carrying my bag and watching every moment of my tournament… no worries!

[@TheQuicksilver115]

Wheeeew, what a crazy last round for Corey to have put together! What a crazy round for everyone really, this event was definitely another special one, in a very different way though.

[@thaatsriight]

Man, AB’s caddie looks so much like Paul McBeth, the similarities are uncanny

[@ifinnagopro5143]

Very cute observation

[@adamprestin28]

That is Paul's brother Pablo

[@gabrieldaigle]

First off, congratulations to Corey. He came through when it counted and just shredded this Back 9. As a huge fan of Calvin's I am, once again, witness to a lackluster finishing round at a Major where he has the lead coming into the last day. I hope he can find his way through this at some point and seal the deal soon enough. I'll be there to cheer him on when it happens.

[@apinakapina]

So I've watched this once from DGN. The thing that strikes me here is that Corey and Molly clearly have something of an end game plan. She's the caddie until Corey gets the great change, and needs to get the tournament in the bag. Then she steps back a bit to allow that single-minded concentration.

[@KN-xl6lw]

Or her hand was stinging from Corey's ✋😅 (Just kidding, Molly said her hand was feeling fine in the post round interview 😂)

[@samsquatch7579]

Good for Corey. He’s one of those quiet players that grinds so hard and really puts his blood sweat and tears into the game. Good final big win for him, good win for the sport

[@yougojl]

What an incredible round - AB handled that like a professional despite it being very frustrating - never pitched a fit. We could all learn from this.

[@RebeIMate]

I was able to avoid spoilers while waiting this coverage and it was totally worth it - great competition! The coverage is also A+ so huge thanks to JomezPro 🙏

[@capnslapn2905]

i cant tell if im more sad for Anthony or more happy for Corey. How did Paul not coach Anthony in that moment

[@benarkwright4718]

its sad for anthony but hes a grown man and its his choice what shot he chooses to go with not pauls

[@aquanos]

Anthony is a good player and it's pretty obvious that he just had to not throw his shots too far. If Paul tried to coach Anthony in that situation it would've most likely just made Anthony more frustrated than he already was with the situation.

[@MattyyIceeee]

Paul isn’t a regular caddy for AB, he likely would’ve been overstepping if he tried saying anything (unless AB were to ask him specifically).

[@capnslapn2905]

im not going at McBeast for not saying anything, I imagine those 2 are close or Paul wouldn't have caddy'd him. Big age gap, likely a mentor / big bro relationship, caddies do offer insight and suggestions to players its a common thing.

[@jii-ro7083]

He definetly deserved the win for how he played. Really really great disc golf. Somehow european open is always the most exciting tournament.

[@gfunktuba1]

[@joshuarippie3424]

The Kate Bush joke was almost so bad it was good 👍🏼

[@CKammerer33]

Jerm, Nate, and Ules, all your reasons for why hole 11 is a bad hole sound like reasons why hole 11 is actually a great hole. It fucks with y'alls head in a way that is so entertaining for spectators to watch. Don't clear out any space. Don't make it more obviously strategic. This is Disc golf at its finest: put the best throwers into a mindgame pinball machine and see what happens. With a major on the line, you can't beat this drama.

[@jockofthebush]

Agreed. Also, it's bit ridiculous for Jerm to say he wishes there was an easier way to play for par on the hole. You can literally see the basket from the tee. It is pretty clear there is a layup to the mouth of the main gap and then a low ceiling approach to the basket. It's a great hole with a ton of risk vs. reward.

[@jlaa3500]

I feel bad for AB, such a disappointment for him with 4+ on 16. I really felt it on my stomach watching AB struggle.. On the other hand I feel good for Corey, well deserved first Major win!

[@LegionOfBlues901]

I can't tell what the wind was doing but I don't understand why AB didn't consider going to the Zone sooner or maybe do a Raptor on a standstill shot...

[@LumenPsycho]

Well, at least his throws are consistent.

[@Migrean]

Wind had no part in it, it was pretty calm. I think Philo said in the live commentary that it was probably just adrenaline making him throw harder than usual. I kind of agree with him there, makes sense if you're three holes away from winning a major.

[@Bloom0to9]

Wow... What a round. I feel more upset than AB looked :( And Heimburg was off... Very happy for Corey Ellis. But why was AB not going backhand on hole 16? Attack the hill and no roll away with the hay bales. Oh man...

[@triplespace007]

Am I the only one thinking 11 is a flex forehand off the tee? The fact that forehand dominate players like Jerm and Nate don't think of it makes me confused.

[@jockofthebush]

I've seen players try the fh flex, but the results just aren't great. You have to carry the flex on a precise line over 400 ft and then hope the fade doesn't carry you into that island of ob with the pond.

[@henrihell]

Yeah, they don't bring a studio overseas. Don't know where their commentary booth was, but probably an empty locker room at the ice hall or smth like that. Maybe they could rent a studio somewhere nearby, but that's probably the only option to get better sound.

[@zzzzzach]

@@henrihell Maybe they could get some cheap foam sheets and/or arrange better places ahead of time, knowing what they know now.

[@henrihell]

@@zzzzzach Assuming they use the same equipment as in the US (Shure SM7B microphones) , cheap foam sheets won't do shit. Those microphones are incredibly insensitive to room reflections, so if they pick up the room sound you need to cover the entire room in the stuff or get a different room.

[@ryaneads7736]

Eagle had the better round score (-8) to Calvin's (-4), which breaks the tie, I believe.

[@kieronmckay4276]

Honestly, if you have to change the rules of the game for a hole, it's a bullshit hole. 16 is a tournament ruiner and a trash hole, or in the parlance of this change a pooper scooper. Get rid of it or adjust it so it conforms to the standard rules of play.

Since they are now partners with dgpt they now have rights to do coverage of the European open but they have to delay coverage until August 8th. I love the fact that we have a week straight of jomez videos. Also they don’t release coverage of idlewild until Saturday, just like any other event… so I don’t know how this gets in the way? Spoilers were bound to happen and there isn’t much you can do about it unless you personally avoid social media until release of coverage. Hopefully next year the coverage isn’t delayed as much but they did their best

I saw AB go out of bounds on 16 and thought here we go again, then I was like oh wait I remember Corey checking scores, did I watch this already. Wtf is going on. Be careful out there kids, dangers of marijuana are real.
