Welcome into moving day at the 2026 MVP Discs Bottle Lake Open. We are right here in Christ Church, New Zealand, playing at a course we've played for now three years. This is presented by MVP Discs and I'm Luke Humphre joined in the booth by Mr. Paul Omen. We've got another perfect day right here in Christ Church. Man, we had a a bunch of stuff has happened. This is the fourth event of our tour. The weather has been crazy and finally we're getting a little relief. >> Yeah, almost identical to yesterday. Maybe just the wind up a bit, I think, but not not crazy noticeable. >> Less than 5 mph additional, I think. So, yeah, very similar day to what we saw yesterday. Nine under was the hot round. You and I both thought that double digits was going to happen. >> 100%. You definitely have to play clean in the woods, but I think it is set up here for a double digit round. >> And our leader, 958 rated Sergey Sanin, Russianborn, lives here in New Zealand now. Tennis player. It seems like he's probably played a little rugby, too. He's a stout fellow. Definitely athletic. We're going to see what he's got today. This is one of first times he's going to play on coverage. So, camera nerves are real. We'll see if they influence his shots. Levi Stout, he's become a regular here on TDU coverage. Such an impressive player, youngster with a ton of game and just a great mentality. >> Yeah. And a good friend of Levis's, Francis Orange here from down in Deneden. Just a little drive to Inenver Cargo from there. So, I'm sure they play a lot together. >> Indeed. And formerly known as Texas Cactus. Now we call him affectionately the Texas Teddy Bear. Just the cleanest form in the game. Backhand afficionado. He's also got a great forehand and his putt's feeling good as well. So Bradley Williams always a threat especially here in New Zealand just having taken down the New Zealand Open up there in Auckland last weekend. So starting on hole one this is a par4 low ceiling entry is really going to be the thing that you need to watch into the green as well as speed with the OB just a couple bases low. Ladies and gentlemen, we are back in action here at the 2026 MVP discs Bottle Lake Open. This is round two MP League Card. And what a card we have for you today under this great day in the Christ Church sun. Yesterday, New Zealand celebrated W Tangi Day, a national holiday and a celebration of all things New Zealand. And it seems only fitting that our Kiwi rising stars showed out. And we've got three of them leading the charge here in a packed NO division to conclude the fourth event on the 2026 MVP discs tour down under season. Three Kiwis, one American vying for another tour down under title. You are of course watching the MVP discs tour and under here on Gotham. And now we welcome our players. First, he's from Otahi, Christ Church, New Zealand, and carded a stellar bogey free nine underpar round yesterday in round one. He is a former champion here at the Bottle Lake Open in the MA1 division and now shows his stuff in the MO division, vying for a title this weekend. Please give it up for the local legend, Sergey Sammon. Can't wait to see what this guy's got. I know that probably a tennis background means he's got a good forehand. I think that's a safe assumption. >> Going backhand here. That's nice snap there. Oh, this is beautiful. >> Yeah, that bit of edge left on it at the end getting it. No introduction for two at under coverage here in New Zealand. A two-time MVP discs two and under champion. The highest rated player in the Southern Hemisphere. He's sponsored by our good friends at RPM Discs. This is invagles. Levi Stout. >> Levi taking that T-Ird again. Saw it stand up really nice for him yesterday. Just a bit more wind today. >> Beautiful angles. >> Keeps it low. >> Yeah. >> Third on this card. Another Kiwi rising star. He represented New Zealand at the Provisional World Championships in Finland earlier this year. A great opening round. He and Levi both just one shot off the lead with an eight underpart effort yesterday here for the opening round of the MVP discs bottle lake open. This is Francis Orange. >> Calling him Mr. Pink from now on. But uh his bag is entirely orange. He was repping all orange last year. like to see him switch it up. Super smooth player. I love the height on this. It's not gonna skip. It's just gonna dig for him. Dri a little bit. And rounding us down for round two leakout action at the 2026 MVP discs bottle lake open here on Saturday moving day in Christ Church. He's a one-time MVP discs two and under champion two weeks ago eclipsing the New Zealand Disc Golf Open from Austin, Texas. This is Bradley Williams. >> It's always a pleasure to watch this guy throw backhands, play disc golf. Very focused. You tell he just always present, always picking a target. No shots are accidental. Yeah. And it seems like I don't know the first couple years we came over. Cory didn't come last year, but he was like always on coverage that first year. And Levi of course is always on coverage. Francis shows up. A couple faces show up, but Bradley has kind of like solidified his his place here as a great international player, guy that can take his game on the road. >> No kidding. I I think the highest rated player here in New Zealand at the moment as well. 1035 twotime DGPT champion nearly 10 years apart. >> Okay. I know you mentioned the low ceiling earlier. Um I do feel like it is pretty crucial to line yourself up in the middle of the fairway off of the teapad. You know, distance isn't of great importance, but you see Bradley playing from a knee. Like Levi's a little bit off to the right here. I think he's going to have to turn this. It's just not something you really want to do in the win. >> He's so good with the putter, though. >> Yeah, this stable Takapoo. He's really >> really I mean, it's made it an extension of himself. >> Yeah, he really has. Just spinning on the ground there. That'll be a drop in. Francis wants no part of that. OB long and Bradley does. >> Great bid. Depth perception was weird right there. >> Yeah, definitely with the lighting might have got him. Great look though. >> Is Serge going to just start off with a birdie first hole on coverage? >> I mean, this is his home course. Yeah, I don't think it makes it any I guess it must a little easier, but >> I talked to him a bit before the round while I was warming up. >> He He just seemed calm like he wasn't, you know, like thinking about it too much. >> Yeah. >> Wasn't trying to give him too many pointers and get in his head or anything. >> Totally. >> It's not like he came out of nowhere for the New Zealanders. They're they're aware of this guy's talent. I think he's the only person to beat Levi in a tournament in the past year. >> I mean, that says a lot. Somebody told me that hole two played really hard yesterday. Uh it just requires two good shots. You got to put yourself in the right spot and take on this OB and make sure you don't go long cuz it does sneak up quick. >> Yeah, it does. And the wind is swirling on this hole and the next hole. It's hard to get a read. There's some tree lines that you have to kind of battle with and it you just got to trust the disc here. This is just a placement shot off the T, but >> yeah, you still got to execute. >> Yeah, looked like he had the right thought in mind. Fairway driver. Not hard though, cuz the OB left sneaks up. I >> almost thought it looked like a mid, but I'm not not here to argue. >> This is kind of what I was talking about. If it takes a big skip, it's gone. >> It is. I mean, oh, he got fortunate. But that was the the height and the angle that can really get you in trouble there. >> 100%. Yeah, that one stayed on the ground as it landed. Great shot. He'll be open now. That's one of the best parts about being close to that OB line. I >> think the sand recognized the Kiwi touch on that disc and slowed it up just in time. >> That is how you do it. >> Yeah. And pushing Francis pushing himself left, you know, towards that OB line is going to open up his angle much better over there. >> Yep. Brad's now thrown this disc three times. Two holes. That was a bit early there. Kind of saw it early on one as well. >> Yeah. Yeah. Good disc selection. I like the height and he got it flat, but just maybe a bit of an early release. >> Wow. Weird spot. He's got to be fully straddled on a knee just to get himself back to like a good drive position. >> Yeah, >> he'll have his work cut out to get the bar. Just enough >> course knowledge there. >> Yeah. >> All right. So, this has got to go over the OB at least a little bit. Make sure you don't pull it. That feels pulled, but it's high. >> It's got to finish. >> Pretty fast green as well. >> Yeah, I think that disc is very overstable. >> Yeah, >> it's going to be a tough tough putt to run. the little drop off behind and the OB. >> When I was standing here playing the group in front of these guys, I had right to left and I was looking at those left to right flags by the green. Kind of confusing. This is the play though. The backhand, you got to get it high and to fly it in this wind is really tricky. The forehand entry is what I'm thinking a lot of players that have a forehand are going going to choose. Yeah, getting getting a stable disc up there left. Letting it do its work is the play with that forehand. Bradley did this perfect yesterday. >> That's pretty good there. >> Yeah, holds on. >> Nice and tidy for the par. Sergey repping the Jack Mafy jersey today. Love to see friends representing friends on coverage when we get a chance. >> That's pretty cool. For sure. Same approach disc used on one. Looks to be like a zone or something. Coming up short, edge of circle for his par. >> Yeah, tough putt to like fully bid there. But >> yeah, no doubt. No doubt. I think with that tailwind, you have to put it up a little higher. And with the OB long ends up being bit of a thinker. Francis Orange though. >> Little fist pump birdie. >> Was it? >> I don't know. Can't rewind it now, but >> possibly. All right. So, he's hype about it. It was a good one. We only saw a couple birdies yesterday. Definitely played easier today. Still over par, but seven birdies on the day. So >> quite a few of them. >> It is impossible not to want to beat your friend when you're on the same card. >> Yeah, >> you want to see him play play good, but you want to play better. >> When you stack them up on paper and look at what each one brings, you know, forehand, backhand, Francis is a very well-rounded player. Super spinny. I love him. I love to watch him play. Hole three. A nice look at what could be I don't know. It's not the first birdie, but very getable hole here. Just got to play the wind, right? >> Yep. >> Fueling right to left in that fairway. >> Yeah. Blind from the teapad. >> Going low. >> Playing the nuke. Ending up circles edge wide. Yeah, this one offers some funky ground plays. There's some grass in there. There's some really like loose sand. That's a smooth forehand, man. >> Oh, yeah. >> He's done that before. >> Looks to be inside the circle. Still going to have a putt. This one of the trickier greens on the course with it being elevated and usually windy. If you're playing Bottle Lake and it's not windy, I don't want to hear what you shot because it's not real. Bottle Lake in the wind gives you the true test. Well said. Looks to be three inside the circle here. Brad going very direct. Best of the bunch. >> Gave himself >> gave himself a little headwind putt. >> Yeah. >> On the elevated. Everybody's got to make one here. >> That looked uncommitted. >> He didn't want to miss it. >> He didn't want to miss it. >> What the heck? >> Oh, about halfway through the flight, it looked like it raised up over the basket, but then it dropped right back down. Yeah. I mean, there's going to be a bunch of chances right there for for those circles edggers with some pressure on them. Finally, some cameras for Sergey. So, >> looks like he just got his weight forward a little bit. His arm couldn't fully get to his spot. Great putt from Bradley. >> Yeah, he extended though. He He was pointing at his target. I liked his follow through. The guy's obviously a student of the game early on, but ah, no. Francis, I'm going to have to talk to you about this later, bud. You and I both on team Francis. Obviously, we do everything we can for the young man. Played in the World Championships last year. Pretty cool to see him over there in Finland. >> So good to see him in Finland, man. Getting that experience, >> having the time of his life. Whole four. This is like a horseshoe. Yeah, I would be a funky footed horse, funky hooved horse, but uh yes, it is a horseshoe shape. >> Um kind of a four and a half here. Well said. Yeah. >> But uh I'm not going to beat up the >> beat anybody up here. Just um >> like I was saying yesterday, really looking to push this one longer. >> You think Oh, he left it. >> That's T-Ird. >> That is some tree play right there. That's the mando tree. He's beside. >> Not where you want to be. >> No. Overturn. Gets away with it. Pretty pretty decent spot to be. Now, this is what we typically see. If you're going backhand, it's a mid-range and it's pure position. >> Do you think that if we did make this a par4? These guys both flirting with that mando tree. >> If we made it a par4, how much more aggressive are people getting off the tea? >> I mean, I don't think it can be. They don't need to cut trees down here. But both of those first shots are early. This is tight. But he wraps around the mando. >> That's perfect. >> Honestly, I like that. But I just want to see one push a little further like straight like still have the the turn to it but stay away from the mando a bit left of the mando a bit and get the distance because it really opens up a line to where you can can I mean swing a forehand in there. >> Yeah. So kind of hard to tell what's going on but he'll be looking for a low heiser forehand that gives some skip at the end. He made this look so easy the first round I got to play with him >> and he was like almost bullseye. >> Oh, for the eagle. >> For the eagle. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> There was two people that got it yesterday. Bradley, one of them. >> Francis the other. >> I think Francis just has a beautiful strategy in his head. >> Just got to execute. But >> plays the back door. Now Levi could go directly at the basket here. >> Doesn't need it right now. >> He had a window. >> I know, but it's a birdie. I mean, it's it's just hyperaggressive. It's round two, whole four. Like, >> do you think I I think it has more to do with the par being a little high >> and people just being okay taking the easy birdie? >> Yeah. >> Instead of having to work for that bird. >> No trouble necessary >> cuz he was already out of position. Brad stable putter forehand. Pretty nice. Skips out a little bit. If anything, he's got a slight hiser putt, though, so should be fine. Eagle wanted it. How many eagles you think we had today? Two yesterday. Can't remember if I saw one on my card. I think I did. Belle get it? Um, I'll just say three. Earnhard. >> None. >> None. After two yesterday, nobody getting the beagle, as we'll call it. The price is wrong. Oh, Brad. Full straddle cash. Yeah, I think you know you can get to a good spot here, but it's still a really well executed shot that gets fortunate >> to get the eagle. >> Agreed. Once you've thrown a good drive, I think getting a birdie is kind of inevitable. >> Yeah. I'd like to see a little something different if we come back here next year. Maybe even just make it a four. Make it a really good bird. Take the par down a little bit. >> Let's change it for the MO field. >> Yeah, true. Easy birds for the crew.

You can check it out at prodigy.com/gothrow. Little chains of pace here. Hole five. Stable putter backhand works the best. You'll see some forehands forced up there, but it's the going long that gets you in trouble. >> Yeah. Really got to pace this shot correctly. The the circle's edge short is not your favorite putt of the day. Just a little hazard behind the basket. >> 100%. Being 40 short is really the worst place you can be. >> Kia. >> Yeah. Did it perfectly yesterday. That is a repeat performance. Yeah, that sand just gobbled that up and >> really beautiful shape. I like that >> we saw Bradley short yesterday, missed that putt, went into the hazard, took the bogey. >> I like Levi choosing a disc that he doesn't really have to tone down on. He almost has to remember to throw it, you know. >> Yeah. Yeah. It seems very stable. >> Bradley's so good at that casting shot that it's just too easy for him. inside with the touchy backhand. Got to imagine that's one of the harder shots to learn and to really get into your repertoire, especially under pressure. So, understandable to miss a bit early there. Francis even earlier seemed like he was going stable disc similar to Levi. I wonder if they just kind of mimic each other's games a little bit playing so much together. I know they throw a lot of the same discs. >> They have different styles. I'm sure they influence each other, but Francis is a player in his own right. He's so spinny. Like some of his forehand lines, you know, flip ups and stuff like Levi's cranking on overstable stuff. >> You're the man with the style. You would know. >> Bradley making up for you yesterday. >> Easy money. Getting going here. It's one of those putts that matters twice as much. >> Oh, this you don't want. >> First straddle look of the day for Sergey. That's looking like a double bogey. I wonder how they play this course when it's not tournament time. If there's just no OB just super relaxed down here. I feel like I mean I'm sure come you know tournament week leading up to it he's playing all the OB's but >> yeah I'd guess he seen coverage plays it straight up >> straight up I would hope so we saw 14 under by goose last year as a course record the course has changed a little bit um so I guess you can't call it the course record now but uh it's doable 14 exists is possible >> trying to think of the changes But moving on to hole six, par4 384. This is another one of those ones that feels like if you just play some golf, they're giving you a bird. Just have to be mindful of that OB right behind the basket. >> Totally. That's how you do it, too. Fairway driver low, something that'll flip up just a little bit, but not too much. You take the skip, you end up about 100 feet, and you scramble from there. I don't know if I'm wasting breath asking, but did anybody deuce this? >> Nobody deuced it. >> And are we playing over par or are we playing very close to par? >> Uh, underpar. >> I feel like a lot of people are throwing that second shot. OB, it's so close. It's just a tap in par. You know, >> this is 44% of the field getting a birdie, 41% getting par. >> Wide release from Francis. That's going to be there's going to be a lot of timber in between him and the basket there. >> Yeah, he was early last hole. Makes the adjustment. And this is some local status lines right here from Sergey. >> I'm so stoked to see it though. That's so cool. >> Yeah, you're playing towards the only OB on the hole. And now his second shot will involve a kick that could go OB as well. So that's the one thing I don't like about that left line. Whoa. Whoa. What kind of disc was that? It was straight for so long and then just peered to the left. >> It looked like it went straight through a tree. >> Oh, Francis. >> Great tempo from Levi. >> Yeah. Yeah. Levi is going to make it five through six. >> You just can't throw your birdie away right here. You have to have some touch. >> Indeed. Wow. Oh, he got to such a good spot, too, from that forehand route. >> Yeah, you get some you cover some distance on that left side. You really have some great gaps to work with. >> Yeah, I mean, I watched somebody today throw it a little straight, catch a bad kick, go OB, and then go OB again because he had to throw it along the OB. >> I don't even think I wanted to hear about that. >> Well, that's what happened. I I witnessed it. Makes me feel like the left can be a little sketchy. But if you're forehand dominant and you can commit to getting 220 feet through that gap, kind of prayer the rest of the way. The boys are getting birdies. Oh, Francis misses putt. A couple few of the boys, but that up shot was gorgeous. >> There we go. >> Tough to give the putter a strong run probably. I mean, this is like 10 feet maybe. >> Maybe. Yeah. Nice bounce back from Sergey. Styly tapin from Francis. Second par five of the course pole. >> Yes. Hole seven. You're throwing over the out of bounds to start. If you don't get inbounds, you got to go to drop zone one. But really just looking for a nice flat distance shot here. Yeah. >> That you don't leave too much angle on at the end. That OB on the left comes up quick, but I think this is a pretty stock shot. The gap's not too too tight, but >> yeah, >> present. >> The fact that you're adding power to try and get close for a par five eagle look is the only reason it's actually tight. >> Give me the uh the number of eagles on this whole stop, man. >> Well, why don't I tell you this one afterwards? >> Well, what about yesterday? Can you help me out with yesterday? >> There were none yesterday. Hasn't been eagled yet in the tournament. I know Bradley played hyperag aggressive with this second shot when he was out of position. So I got to think in practice he tasted the eagle. >> Yep. I'd guess so as well. That one drops out a little bit. Probably loses about 60 feet of distance. 75 even feet of distance that it could have had. I >> think he's still got a decent angle to the basket. >> It's only 856 feet. >> Heavyheiser. I do believe it crossed into the inbounds though. >> Yeah, like you said, when you add power to a gap, things can happen. >> Beautiful shot from Francis. >> Find some soft sand. Oh, he's good. >> And it found some very soft sand to end up in. Not going to be the best footing for Francis. How big and how aggressive is Sergey go here? Look at this. If it finishes. Yes. >> Perfect. Man, this guy knows the course. He knows where you want to play from. He knows what not to take on. >> That was a tough spot to make a decision in. How far do you want to go? And really like the discipline shown. And placed this shot perfectly. >> Beautiful shot from Francis. I mean, the birdiey's all but guaranteed if you get this far up the fairway. >> Yeah. I gotta think if he had a little more distance on his drive, he would be like, you get by that big tree, you can putt from there. >> Yep. It's about 60 feet. Okay. >> This is got to flatten out and go straight. Oh, >> that's just fine. Will have to carry over the out of bounds bunker most likely from that position. >> Yeah, messed it up yesterday. Left it a little low. Ended up taking the bogey. So, we'll see how Brad spawns after that. This is not a a play for the green. This is a a short play, position play, >> showing Francis he can do it, too. >> All right, so still got the driver in hand. Kind of a fortunate first skip, honestly. A little bit turfed. The low line was going to be tricky no matter what. And he's up again. >> Yeah, this is >> chance to keep a par. Got to keep this close. Oh, >> no. No, >> it was always a little short as well. So, he's still got a putt. It looks like >> I know I have been paying attention, but he's throwing a lot of forehands. He's really leaning on the forehand. >> He is >> dominant forehand player. >> And just the tennis player background, that's what you're going to see. >> You said that earlier. >> Yep. >> I swear I was listening. >> Yeah, I've known a handful of people that came out of that and they just have such smooth forehands as well as good touchy forehands. Something about like the cut shot or drop shot in tennis kind of corresponds over to disc golf. >> I can't even play tennis. I'm basically playing home run derby for some reason. >> Okay, not dead, but nice little Kia upshot. For those prodigy throwers out there, the Kia from RPM very similar to the A3 beated, stable mid-range approach. Is that for the the dub now? >> Yep, that's going to be a dub. Tidy, we were commending him for that second shot, showing that self-control. Ended up getting hyper. >> No way. >> Oh no. >> Big mistake. I was just kind of looking at Levi and Francis score. Francis or Levi had kind of taken off for a bit, but there's a little swing. Dang. >> Some emotion showed also some uh his showed us his ups. >> He's got some vertical. >> Yeah, that was the hardest hole on the course thus far. It's actually the hardest on the course tied with this one back to back. Two hardest holes on the course. Hole eight. It's the green Paul. Yeah. I mean, but the the drive is pretty important, you know, like I got to think if people aren't getting a great drive off the wind is really funky right here. Um there's one tree you got to beat kind of on the right. I don't know, I'm rambling, but you got to have a good drive here to make the attack into the tricky probably three or four gaps that are offered to get in to the basket area. >> This got to get down. Okay, it does. Yeah, it runs out nicely. Brad threw this thing within two paces of the OB yesterday. About as good as you can get. >> Yeah, he's hitting that T-Ird. Well, >> tight. Too tight. Oh, it's got to chill. He's going to have a choice to make there. You going to attack this green 4 foot, 5 foot wide gaps the whole entire way from that far away, or is he going to lay up and show some self-control? We'll see. again. Really? >> Don't go in it. >> Um, yeah, he got the good kick yesterday back into the fairway. Didn't get it today. >> Both these guys, I think, just need to chill, throw themselves as close as they can to the gap and just get up and down. >> This is, >> dude, I like watching this forehand. I'll tell you what, man. This is smooth. I'm trying to get rid of some destroyers. Maybe Sergey needs one if they're stable. Oh, I think that he could use one. >> My luggage is way too heavy right now. >> Going. He's going, but it's way too high. >> It's just aggressive. It needs to chill. >> Oh. Oh, it's a layup. >> Okay. It just got you excited. >> Surely Levi's not going for the green from here. >> Check that back door skip shot through the tree. through the tree that lines the OB bowl. >> I don't like that. I mean, that was >> Those are Kiwi trees. So unfortunate. Oh my goodness. I mean, I like the aggression. That's a great gap hit right there from Sergey. This is what I've been left with two days in a row. Unfortunate gap hit there. Brad kind of still has to do it again. >> Taking the Bogue. >> Yeah. Yeah. And he actually chose a different line. He was going for the lowheiser instead of playing the Annheiser down the path. I think staying over the inbounds as long as you can. >> That's what I've been trying to do. >> Yeah, maybe his position was a little different. unfortunate right there. That's a pretty stock shot. I mean, there's gaps to hit, but he's 150 out. And his forehand touch is incredible. So, I'm talking to you about that one, too, Francis. >> That hurts. Can Sergey drop this? >> I think he can, but he doesn't. Strong bid. It's a good looking pup. What's he got here? Through the trees. He's going hiser. Have a little fun, bud. Have a little fun. >> No way. >> So, not only does he have >> the guts to go out of a pine forehand over the OB through two trees, hit the OB log. >> He has a little foot on the putt, too. >> And Levi's watching this right now. You're you're grinning, bud. That cheesy grin. I know you have it on your face. You skipped through the tree then went through another one. That was beautiful. Bradley fortunate bogey after that OB par putt left for Sergey. It's a good putt. Like in general, I like his putt. Solid. >> His game's tight. I don't know why he's 960 rated. >> Think he's got 11 tournaments. 2024, maybe nine tournaments in 2025. >> Okay. >> So, just needs to put more rounds on there, probably. >> Yeah. If I was going to say one or the other, I'd say he's trending up. >> Yeah, 100%. To finish off the front nine, a seemingly easy part three, 266 ft. Feel like some, you know, flippy putters here. Just got to stay away from the tree kicks to the left. OB is pretty tight. Yep. >> Got a nice Nice fairway here to work with. >> Oh, genius kick there for Levi Stout. And >> a second. Do you have Levi's phone number right now? I got to make a phone call. >> Tell him to tell him to buy a lot ticket. >> Yeah, seriously. >> Yeah, those are um Oh, a bit of a a slide possibly there. There. It sounded like a slip. >> Are you really looking for his phone number? >> No. That's pretty weird. I'll just say it to his face. Say, "Boy, did you see that coverage?" >> About to get on his Instagram. We're going to send him the timestamps. Oh, he knows. Like you said, he's grinning. >> I mean, he doesn't ace run. Come on, baby. >> Oh, it is. Oh, beautiful. He loves throwing that Luna. Throws it really well, too. Good to see him hit a line. Last couple drives on seven, but eight was a little wonk pulled, but can he get away with it? Ish. Yeah, he's going to have a putt to make for that par. Does Bradley jump this or does he stand still? Stand still causes him to pull it just a bit. Adding that power, I'd guess. And >> okay, that's a good looking stroke. >> Like confirmation of me liking your butt, Sergey. Keep that up. Other than those dubs, showed some composure. Back on the train. Let's go. >> Yeah, he's got birdies sandwiched by over parstrokes. Yeah, >> there's still time. Lot of birdies in this here timber. Get it rolling. >> And the CTP cash thanks to the pine >> is what CTP stands for there. >> Look at all that green. I mean, an amazing birdie on eight. Gets the tree kick for the bird on nine. One little blemish. >> Yeah, that's some solid stuff there. Six under through nine holes. Only one par on his scorecard and he's kind of putting these guys a little bit in the dust. Bradley's hanging the bogey there, unfortunately. >> Yeah, everyone's still in contention, but if Levi keeps doing things like he's doing, it's tricky. And what is that name on the top of the the list there? >> Oh, hey. >> And Jacob Blair playing some great golf. >> Yeah, it was nice to have Jacob. Jacob and I birdied the first five in a row. >> My boy is hot. Let me get some. >> Get you some. Yeah, Jacob throwing prodigy as well. So, we're just vibing on that chase card, playing some good golf, and uh trying to keep it going through this back nine, which ends up being a little trickier, I think, than the front. >> Yeah, definitely. But still a lot of birdies. >> That's right. Tour Down Under. Final event of the season. We're headed home pretty shortly. >> It's almost a shame. Oh yeah, Paul hasn't bought his return ticket, guys. Paul's living the life. Comment if you got some things I should check out. >> It's true. Let them know down below. Can't thank our sponsors enough.
