[@GatekeeperMedia]

It's been a pleasure collaborating with Jomez this past week. We look forward to continuing to provide chase card checkins in the future!

[@pjblack9290]

Super classy Gatekeeper.

[@JomezPro]

Thank you for watching our coverage from the 2021 PDGA World Championships in Utah. This event presented us with our biggest challenge to date as a crew and we simply couldn’t have done it without the support of everyone watching and our Patreon community. We got some things right and we got hard lessons learned that will help us improve. It’s an honor for us to work alongside our sport’s media crews. The amount of commitment and sacrifice to produce the best coverage possible is simply inspirational. The live crew and all of our post-production colleagues inspire us with their unwavering tenacity to continue pushing the boundaries. Most importantly though is the players. Their competitive spirit is the heartbeat of Disc Golf. Just like y’all, we at JomezPro are fans of the sport and we can’t help but live and die with every shot. This final round tested us to our very limits and we couldn’t feel more grateful and privileged to present you with our coverage. We hope you enjoy it. Thank you so much from everyone here on our crew.

YESSSSS! Same happened to me almost a year ago. But yeah, this one was special. I watched from the first round and I have to admit, it was nice but meh. Got to see Conrad's early round ace on Gatekeeper, but I didn't know who he was and he looks a bit funny, lanky, I don't know, vs McBeth he didn't seem like a serious contender. But he made the lead card for the final round. And the rest is history. Couldn't have scripted a better story. And now Queen took the Pro tour championship! What a sport!

[@the_stewbear]

This may be remembered for “The Holy Shot” but honestly, maybe one of the best head-to-head 9 holes of golf I’ve ever seen. These guys shot -6 and -7 on a course that has almost no gimmes. Huge kudos to Paul for being the iron that made James elevate his game to the level he had to to win. It will be a long long time before another Worlds finish matches up to this one.

[@stephencarmickle]

Props to the course too. It’s only because of the course that we saw so many lead changes, card changes, and such a close match from start to finish.

Not only did he play amazing, he had to do commentary for 1.5-2 hours every day during the biggest tournament of the year. It’s unbelievable to think any of them can find the time and energy to do the videos each day while playing in the tournaments. Five looooong rounds, record breaking heat, altitude. Props to all three of them, and I’m so proud of Papa Nate!

Im a 50 year sports fan - I just spent 50 HOURS going down the Disc Golf rabbit hole after watching this random video. I played a few times in the early 90s, and even played once with my hippy uncle in 70s (Frisby target golf he called it. Just marking trees and poles at a city park) -- I HAD NO IDEA this amazing sport was at this level. THIS, by far is the best sport in the world. Exsesable to everyone, super easy to start, incredibly hard to master, great for overall health, and super fun! Buy a few discs, go to a park, and play. Even without baskets. Bring a small whiteboard, agree on targets and boundaries, and Play!

[@JeffSmith-eq3kc]

I love playing disc golf. I play at least once a week. In fact part of the reason I bought the property I did was to have space to set up holes but disc golf will never be a major sport. I think it's in a good place and is growing. You just won't be seeing disc golf ever compete with say regular golf.

[@keldonbirch6722]

so true

[@goldenruletv7301]

It's major sport....most of the players want it to stay grass roots, grow without too much corporate money that would discourage the amateurs. The thing about disc golf is that you can turn professional at any age like ball golf. These days to be able to call yourself a professional disc golf is quite an accomplishment, especially for all of us self taught players that learned the trial and error way which can be extremely tedious and frustrating at times but disc golf ALWAYS gives back to you what you put into it, always.

[@carlkligerman1981]

I think the charm of this game is that it’s a pure sport, built on the obvious passion of a tight community. It may become ‘major’ due to moments like Conrad’s amazing shot and subsequent win, but for mine I hope it’s stays this way. Everything about it is beautiful, and I really love that, unlike golf, this game doesn’t require clearing and totally manicuring the landscape.

Unfortunately Jerm does, often by ignoring a player who is clearly in contention because he knows they're gonna fall back later in the round. This time he did it with Kevin. I really like the commentary in general (the chemistry is great, as is the knowledge), but this is definitely a negative and happens to some extent during most final rounds. He doesn't do overt spoilers of course, but the little things reveal so much...

Same here. Theres really no one I'm not a fan of.....well.....maybe one! But you have to respect the dominance of Paul. I've always liked watching James play. Think I've watched the clip at least 10 times now.

[@MasterHatred]

I am big fan of Paul but you are wrong. He did count win in too soon and forgot the most important rule that every throw counts. Of course it was a once in a million shot from James but he is not exactly stranger to these kind of shots. That being said it is still so that Paul is best player there is.

[@tjayhochstetler9164]

All I can say is wow! I was a little disappointed that Paul Mcbeth didn't win but what can you say when James throws it in from way back. You just have to agree that he earned it!! ....Congrats James👏🏼

[@stevensanders235]

Sometimes I second guess McBeth on his "pedal to the metal" approach, thinking there are some putting situations in which he should lay up. Most often his aggressive approach pays off because he's able to make the come back putt. On 18, he finally does the smart thing. He lays up. If only Conrad had thrown into the basket first, I think McBeth would have thrown to the basket like Jones and Heimburg, and he would have birdied the hole and taken the championship. I thought McBeth handled the set back with class. A thousand screaming fans cheering for Conrad's shot was surely a disappointment after all the work McBeth put into maintaining his one stroke lead. But, that's the name of the game, and to be fair, McBeth has certainly played the role of spoiler in other tournaments. McBeth will live to fight another day.

[@elhior23]

What by mistakenly laying up instead of winning? He let James back in by laying up sure James shot was ridiculously amazing but Paul did lay up on a shot that was straight to the basket. I doubt he would agree with you that is how he wants to lose. He said last year he was done ever laying up.

[@adamschroeder3756]

@@elhior23 How is he mistakenly laying up? He’s up by 1 and the only person who’s possibly able to catch him has to throw a blind shot around a corner. He can either take a risky approach and possibly throw OB, almost instantly giving James the win, or he can take the safe route, guaranteeing that he never loses, and forcing James to make an impossible shot. Very rarely is anyone ever going to pull off the shot that Conrad did on 18; it was unfortunate for McBeth, but it was not a misplay. Both players are incredibly deserving of the win, it just happened to go to Conrad this time.

[@MrPancaker57]

@@elhior23 it wasnt a mistake. With OB surrounding the basket and James needing a 1 in a million shot to even go to a playoff, trying to birdie the hole would have just been stupid. Maybe if there wasnt OB everywhere you could have a point but theres so much danger there it in no world would be the right play to try and birdie

James is lucky he had a bad drive on hole 18. If he was set up for a birdie look, Paul would have made an easy forehand for birdie and won the tourni. Watching this unfold knowing the end result, shows so many moments where things could have changed the outcome.

[@elhior23]

@@glasshumanband2564 Totally right. Still surprised me. Paul said last year he was never laying up again. Showed it on that ridiculous put on the elevated basket that could have lost it for him.
