welcome everyone to the 2018 keeper the chain sponsored by another Champion disc this is the final round back nine we're at clad Golf Complex very long ball golf course Otto bees and we're gonna see some bombs back starting a whole 10 435 foot part 3 we got an obese sidewalk labs moving sidewalk sidewalk right and yeah there's a high draft for the backhand highs are out for the forehand or develop the middle those sealing up the middle this is a beautiful property first up we've got Nathan out and current leaders sitting that six down and that will work just fine here we got bow sitting that even he's taking that middle gap and yeah he gets knocked down by that early tree if you're going for the Heiser it makes this whole a lot longer than it is and bins going with the turnover up the middle as well he gets it down there oh no sob and I believe if you're on the sidewalk you're actually still in bounds which is kind of abnormal but here we got Jake see and that should be OB but but this layout is not and kodos line up the big backhand oh he's gonna roller trying to fight that win oh yeah that's fantastic great shot by Koda and nathan is just running away with this thing it's sitting that six down here's Belle who made a move to get up to second place and LA on the front nine and that's pretty makable right there Jake laying that up at the forehand and tough look for Nathan with that low ceiling he just lays it up there and here's Ben after going OB on the drive nice par save he'll stay at 7 big here's Kota for a rare - there it is and he struggled on the back half of that front nine he's trying to catch back up the bow and that with a nice puffer spar he'd be staying even all right a whole 11 335 foot part 3 and this is actually very similar holder to the last one you got the Heiser routes it makes a whole lot longer we're going to take this middle gap which I think they'll be doing and yeah you've got dogs trees keep it low and try to scoot up there this course is just so difficult the shoulder holes there's a lot of trees in the way and then there's a lot of absolute bombers and cutter just those his were way too low and he won't be happy with that anything with that flex 4 hand of his gets his little high but he's in the middle oh now that looks fantastic all the way up till that tree very tough green to attack and Bing goes way too low as well let's see if Lazo can get one up there it's got nice action to it it's got to dodge everything else and he's a tree been with a nice up shot there he'll be tapping in for his par not a whole lot of good drives on this hole honestly Kota sponsored by Westside discs and both sponsored by another and I believe Nathan is with millennium here's Jake for his upshot and Jake's had a very very difficult final round nice birdie by Nathan that puts him i7 down oh no Bo just come up a little bit short he's gonna take a bogey it looks like Ben might be a dynamic disc sponsor by looks of this shirt all right another shorty hole 12 328 foot par 3 and sidewalk is OB joist a dead straight shot either you got to go with the high forehand swing it out wide or just keep it low and try to miss these trees a lot of low-hanging branches on the scores in the basket is like totally blind from the tee which makes it extra hard and Nathan's going with that high forehand and yeah that gives them a look just outside circle total gun with a thumb ER trying to go over everything oh yeah fantastic shot by coda oh no stop rolling it's rolling the wrong way I love about some about the same distance as Nathan had been taking the more conventional route up so he got knocked down by tree but he loved a long look Jake's going right at it now looks fantastic oh yeah it's right in the circle great shot by Jake see if Bo can bounce back from that from that bogey on the last hole he's gotta get low nope and that's a common thing on this hole think they'll get shot and it's just not quite low enough and he's just gonna lay up for his par here's Nathan for to extend that lead yeah he says it's not a big deal and kodos trying to battle for that second spot as of now he's tied up a bow just barely am side and Koda seems a little bit more relaxed and mentally stable for this back nine thing comes up a little bit short here's Jake for - nice - that puts him back at nine big and Jake's just battling just so we can get paid some happens here nathan is still well on front seven down all right hold 13 300-foot par 3 with a very tight window off the tee got dodge these trees get over the creek that Creek is OB sidewalk on the right sides OB it's really just a dead straight shot keep it low just kind of point and shoot there's no room for any Heiser's so got to be very accurate off the tee the 14 is a great place so you can keep your eyes on the target the whole way but he seems the shank is a little bit to the left stays in bounds though and that looks like a great shot from Cota oh yeah I put some just inside the circle they probably on with the mid-range looks like it's turn a little bit needs to stay in oh yeah that's even closer than Kota it's about 15 20 feet out it looks a little bit high yeah it gets caught up within the tree but it crossed the creek stays in bounds nothing wrong with that and we actually missed Jake's Drive but he's up there back Koda as well so does a great job Nathan nothing else about a forehand up shop here's Bo for two looks like that branch might be in the way can he Annie oh yeah he's trying to Amy around it great runs slow I Oh horrible spit out Nathan's gonna be taking a bogey and Jake with a nice birdie puts him at a big here's Ben for - good putt there and Ben's putting has been absolutely solid this final round really all tournament but he hasn't missed a whole lot inside circle here's coda for two to get a couple strokes on Nathan there it is that brings him back to even and he's got to be perfect to finish out this round to catch up to Nathan otherwise he's just battling beau for that second spot Nathan drops to six bit or 6-under all right probably the hardest hole out here hole 14 786 foot par 4 you really give me Lane I've got crosses creek sitting too far you can be laying up in front of this one most likely and then basket is up on the left sidewalk is OB creeks OB it's really all about that Drive gotta have good distance control I want to be surprised to fin actually tried to clear both creeks he's got so much power he's got nothing else to lose and chase going with that forehand flex shallot just a place right in the middle he still got a lot of distance to cover and kodos got the distance let's see if he's gonna know he's not gonna test it he's also gonna lay up telling it to get down and it does alright been unload on this for me please oh yeah he's going for it let's go that's probably a 440 foot shot right there and Bo I can't tell if he's running this but it's gonna be testing that Creek and that is OB costly mistake by Bo and Nathan that needs to get down that's fading towards the OB right side walk who nest a safe in Nathan I'm not sure why you threw a forehand there maybe just to make sure it stay in bounds encoders gonna try reach this basket on this upshot it looks like he pulled it a little bit a little grip lock Oh aina history yeah he didn't get much distance at all here's Bo for three after go know being the creek that's looking pretty good oh yeah oh my gosh that might be the shot of the other round here's Nathan after nearly going OB and he might just be laying that up and been after that absolute monster of a drive well he has left a little Heiser skip shot and that kind of got away from him that's good that's like a 40 50 footer cuddly needs that up and down here and that should be no problem Jake with the simple hyzer shot believe that is for par here's Nathan for birdie yeah not really a great effort there and been mrs. Pam side it's got about 15 foot come back here and he knocks that in for par keeps him at six big here's cutter for par and he'll stay out even one ahead of Bo I believe this is for bogey after Bo and ope off the drive oh no he saved through the par he saves that one big all right hole 15 401 foot par 3 the sidewalk is OB it's really just a standard hyzer shot backhand hyzer shot that golf green on the right side is OB there's a lot of trees in the way on this one Jake's just gone with a hyzer and he stays inbounds here we got Koda he's got the power to get there and he gets caught up by a tree it's gonna be a tough tough to look with all those trees in the way and bins got the power I think is flying Wow great shot by Ben it's about circles edge for a birdie but I was gonna have a look as well and here's a backhand from Nathan not gonna see this very often oh he got up there as well yeah and Kota had a pretty terrible look there not a whole lot of options Jake just gonna pitch up at the forehand we got a couple two looks to see if they can convert and fell just not nearly put enough energy on that putt Oh Nathan almost drains it come on Ben let's get it to here No and this is gonna be a power frame Parrs all around all right whole 16 644 foot par 4 and it's kind of similar to the hole I have two holes ago I got the clear that Creek which is OB sidewalks OB and it's down a long ways on the right side all right first up I got Jake's in that a big he's gonna be laying up at the forehand that should work just fine looks like kotas also laying up oh no and I believe that is OB costly mistake by Kota let's see if bins going for it looks like he is oh yeah he clears that no problem he'll have a really good angle to the basket from there I says those one back uh he's gonna lay up as well I think he might go for this with three holes to play and if you live in Oklahoma you definitely know about the Kota and bow show downs every year they live in the same town I'm in Oklahoma they play a lot of the same tournaments together and they're both very high quality disc golfers and it looks like that one will be as well Jay kinda lost his footing there that's a great shot a little bit short but you'll have Bowser circles edge but both showing off that forehand power that's a great shot as well looks like Nathan kind of solved this off a little bit stay in I believe that's in bounds since it's all in the car path Oh that was a great looking line got caught up by the tree and Boujis coming up short no one's really making the long puss this round we have a pretty consistent like 20 to 30 mile-per-hour wind yeah and everything's just getting shot down at this tail end those taps in for a bogey bring him out too big then with the par believe this is for par as well you know Cota for bogey now puts him at one big one ahead of Bo still and I think Nathan believes that he's got this on lock even though he'd spell get that hole all right hole 17 480 foot par 3 super low ceiling off the tee we really just wanted to get clear out of these trees and then you set yourself up for a pretty good angle for that shot should note the golf green up there to the left is OB and can be found you'll be seeing probably some rollers lots of teeth maybe some poor hands this is really like the landing zone you want to be in so you have a wide open shot basket and this is really just a battle for second place it would go in Kota at the moment Nathan's pretty much got this thing I'm walk first up I got Jake sitting that ate big yeah it doesn't look like it's getting through nope and Ben's telling a roller but it's cutting out way too much oh no it's going towards that green get short of it Wow I believe that is Obi that is so far down there Cotto's going with the forehand and he plays up just how you wanted to that's perfectly fine here we got bow one one back of kota and that's also a great shot right where we want to be here's Nathan just on a tear looks like you slipped on the tee a little bit oh I think is moving and that's probably farther than he even expected to be jake is just really struggling Kota going with that thumb over the top boom great shot by Kota you just probably think a rock matching koto shot and J comes up a little short here's Nathan for - well we got a high not no way oh my gosh are you kidding me yeah get pumped that was like a hundred feet away oh my gosh I can't believe that run that back it looks like Ben did find though B is his first third okay I can't believe Nathan made that putt to be honest with you yeah Jake's just he's struggling Ben with a nice bogie recovery there nice up-and-down you just cut up for par good putt let's stay out one big so we'll stay out too big oh no he bogeyed he'll be at three big unfortunately double alright the longest hole on the course that's the last full 18 1021 foot par 5 you're just trying to crush that Sparky panel up the drive OB sidewalk left will be ride pretty big fairway though about the landing zone follow me wanting to lay up right around this green which is the B once you get around here you got some trace of dogs down by the basket and it's just a mean mean summer stuff in the way that would be kinda narrows down towards the basket as well it's gonna get that much more difficult he's up first on the big flex forehand just trying to stay inbounds he does that perfectly he'll probably land up just short of that golf green on his upshot how does testing that Oh be left but I think he stays inbounds and being on the left side actually creates a very good angle towards your next shot and hanging a little hanging it out a little bit too wide but I'll do just fine here's Bo kind of right in the middle a fairly great shot and after these extremely long courses that these guys played you got it imagine how sore there be house where they are the next uh so many full power throws and Jake's just laying up in front of that green like I said wonderful senior rollers on this really short cut grass speaking of roller here's been throwing one down looks like it's leaking a little bit left but that's perfectly fine get down yeah that creates a fantastic angle to the basket just try to play safe keep it I'm gonna be and that's perfect Cota is trying to crush a roll or maybe he's trying to go past that green Oh and he's doing it perfectly Wow Cota half-filled everyone that is an absolute beauty I was gonna try to match her Bell's gonna try to match it a little bit too much cut off his ruler but he ends up in a great spot Jay come up a little bit short and been put himself to where he can just throw a hyzer over everything and that might that might been gonna be gonna hit the tree and drop down just outside circle this is Bo's butter just low finish shots perfect Nathan gets hung up by tree it's a good upshot by Jake you just want to get out of here Kona not the best upshot he'll have a chance and Nathan with an absolutely fantastic tournament kept the inbounds made the putts need to make including you know 150 footer Kota just hasn't been to find that putter this tournament though knocking it apart he stays that three big and it does a disappointing tournament for Bo know you had high expectations then it's gonna finish 8-bit with the bogey right there this and these courses can really challenge you Kota secure second place Spa at one big in your 2018 keeper the chains champion Nathan out and great great shooting bud alright if you guys enjoyed this video make sure you like and subscribe on our YouTube and we'll catch you on the next one
