2026 Kansas City Wide Open | MPO R2F9 | Wysocki, Redalen, Heimburg, Buhr | Jomez Disc Golf

Hello and welcome to round two front N coverage of the lead card here at the 2026 Grip 6 44th Kansas City wide open here in Liberty, Missouri at the beautiful Bag Brock disc golf course. Jeremy Coin, Paul Yulberry, Big Berry Commentary bringing you the action here on moving day. >> I mean, we're just always gonna have good cards at this point. Ricky Weissaki a top the board tied Cole Rallan >> at 11 under par. Calvin Heimberg hanging out a little bit behind him along with Ken Burr. The usual suspects I would say the slew of people trying to catch those guys as well. Starting off with a really good one. Hole one par 4 575. What are they trying to do here? Well, there's a couple options today. We got a little bit of a tailwind that presents a little bit more of an aggressive play perhaps. We saw Eagle McMahon yesterday with the only eagle in the field going for it, but there's a couple landing zones. I think there's a really safe hiser landing zone that's pretty short. There's that secondary landing zone and then you got the green. And I'm interested to see what these guys do with the tailwind. Maybe he's going been going wide wide hiser and this is lower. Yeah, this is going for the green. This is not heading for that second landing zone. That's heading for the third one. >> How do you go that high? >> Unreal. Unreal. Whoa. To go that high. 575 ft. Well, excuse me. He's long by 35. So >> 600o. >> Does he find >> Yeah, it's so hard to make that putt. It's a scary putt, but that's the easiest birdie of his life, and he's not going to feel good about it. But winner of this year's Supreme Court Open, he's won seven majors, 11 elite series events, four time of the year, and oh yes, he's a twotime world champion from Scottdale, Arizona, and supported by Ricky Sak. >> It's a lot of accolades. >> It is. And I got to give props. Our announcer is one of the best. >> Yeah, he's got a voice for it, that's for sure. >> And he does his research on each player. >> Ricky laying up going to the left side. This really has got to get down. >> Yeah, it's kind of like doesn't really have an identity. That shot was kind of in between that first landing zone and the second one. Interested to see what he's got. Open champion, winner of the down players Cup and Lake County Trailblazer. Also a former champion from Portland, Oregon. >> I didn't know he won the Down these Players Cup. That's a tournament in North Carolina. Good for you, Cole. >> Scorching hot 1100. 11 under yesterday with two bogeies. He did his. >> May as well been 1100. Yeah. Hot round. >> Oh, that's an aggressive play. >> Yeah, he's going to have to >> go all the way through everything. >> Oh, he does. >> Sweet. >> That's all safe back there, right? >> Yeah, >> that's fine. >> Wonderful. >> All right. >> A lot of power. >> Yeah. winner at the Las Vegas Challenge of the Asia Golf Open European Festival and the Pro Tour Champion from Safety Harbor, Florida and supported by Calvin Heimber. >> Calvin with the miraculous eagle yesterday in hole 16. The only one in the field yesterday, four feet from the pin. This is low, but that's okay because he's going left. >> And that is prime landing zone. Easy jump cut approach from there. >> You can kind of run it from there. >> Yeah, you can. It's like a little bit of a tailwind. So, it's going to turn into a crosswind there. defending AC wide open champion. Where's the crown at the Big Eas Open, Queen City Classic, Santa Cruz Masters Cup, Northwest Championship, the Memorial Lead Stone, and he just won Jonesboro. He's the number one ranked player in the world. And he is the reigning world champion from Urbanddale, Iowa, and supported by Discmania, Ganon B. I would have been flopping around those. That would have been tough. That would have been tough to get through. flipping flopping. And also, he's not 21. That would have been another thing he could have added to that. All those accolades before turning 21. Unreal. >> Nice and controlled. Heiser and gets all the way up there. >> I just can't believe how high AB took that. Ricky fought through. I did not see that. >> Me neither. I thought he was in the middle of that bush. >> Easy does it. Park job for the three. Now, are we gonna see? Okay, Ganon and Calvin and we'll eventually get to Cole on the back side of the green. And >> that's kind of where AB went yesterday and clicked the tree and went out of bounds. So >> I forget. Did AB make the putt? Did he save it? >> Okay, so he saved the par. >> I don't even know if I can get behind my life trying. >> Look at this little move. >> Yeah. Yeah. And that's going to be right where AB was just a moment ago. There was a time extension called for Cole and he's got this putt for birdie now. And so it looks like he will be losing a stroke to the card even though his drive was past the pin. >> Had to go sidearm roller from 80 ft. That's never good. >> Not a good idea. Not a good circumstance. Maybe it was the best idea. We're off and running. Round two is underway. This week's Patreon disc winner is Donnie Parker. You are winning the Q-ine DD3 thrown by Mr. Casey White in our practice round. He was crushing that thing. Congratulations to you. And you could win the Jonas Patreon giveaway from our practice rounds by joining Jonah's Patreon. Par three just far enough up the hill to make it play pretty tricky with the two posts positioned kind of at the right spot off the tea to be honest. >> I think you're right. >> There we go. That could go O. >> It will go be Oh yeah, deal. Yeah, man. That was close to the rock. Real bad rock. Ganon made this forehand look so easy yesterday. Does he do it again? High with turn. A little bit of a headwind today. So, it's probably going to stall out. Come up a little short and still a good shot. But that's going to keep you on his putt. I'd take it. Most people would. Ricky would low driven. Very similar to Calvin's. Very well done. The width of those rocks make you still have to make a somewhat sketchy putt when there's a lot of wind, which is nice. You can't really just park this hole. You always have to >> Oh, this needs to get down. Okay. Does dig. It looked like it had a chance to lift even higher in that headwind. And Ganon does come up short. And he's checking the wind the headwind. He was hoping for it to lift. Just didn't lift for him. >> That will be Ricky's first bogey of the tournament. >> Really bogey for you yesterday. Can't imagine really anyone else did that. I mean, there may have been I can't imagine. >> This is just a course where you get bogeies. >> Yeah. Hole three par 4 605 ft sidearm Annie through this gap or backhand flip up. Going to try to land anywhere in here or above on the hillside. From there you want to beat these two power lines hiser around on a little island green where this basket sits on. Right to left crosswind making it a little bit tougher today if you don't got the sidearm to come in. Use that hillside and the wind to your advantage. Even Calvin deciding to go with the two-piece >> and it's going to work. >> Yep. Buttery smooth. >> Well done. >> I think that Cole's the closest thing we got to Ganeton as far as a smooth operator >> when it comes to form. >> Yeah, >> with the backhand. >> It is effortless. >> It's really fun to watch. Ganon kind of aggressive in the forehand where he's not just trying to make the gap. He's actually turning it and getting distance and getting closer to that OB line in the left side. This is low on the hill, but that's just fine. He'll actually have options. >> Mhm. >> You can go straight wide hiser sidearm, >> whatever. >> No, I'm serious. >> This is getting lifted and carried. That needs to dig hard and does not. >> I did mention right to left crosswind. >> Yes, you did. >> And he didn't hear me. >> He didn't, but he did feel it. And he should have gone wider. >> Cole doesn't want any part of it. So, he is going with the wide sidearm. And this looks like a dime. >> I was thinking it needed to go and I was wrong. It It had plenty of go. That's how you draw it up. cold will be at that mark they were talking about yesterday. Two down through three is kind of what you're looking to do. Ricky elects to go right at it and he's going to have to earn it from circle's edge. That's a good shot. Never in danger of going out of bounds. And also doesn't want to play with that wind read. He also messed up this approach yesterday and went out of bounds to Kabogi and he might be in danger of doing it again, but he gets through the edge inbounds. That could have gone the other way quickly. >> Calvin trying to save the par. No tricky putt into the headwind up the hill. Ganon gets the height right, matches the nose angle to the wind direction and slides through like a knife through hot or a hot knife through butter. Kind of a weird day as far as the wind goes. Sometimes it was very very gusty. Sometimes it was almost calm. >> Nicely done. >> It was and it was switching directions. So it was like hard day to I would say it was a harder day to score on than the first day, but also at times it was >> calm. >> Calm. Yeah. kind of laying down. >> Didn't really stay calm for very long yesterday, but it was more predictable. >> Yep. >> So, you I don't know. Which one would you take? >> Huh? >> Would you take the day like today? >> Probably yesterday. It was easier scoring conditions, I think. >> Hole four par4 939 ft. Right to left or left to right backhand shape is the preferred T-ot for most of these players, but you can also get to the landing zone with a big forehand. From there, it's a dog leg right downhill. Really fun twoshot hole that can really be reached with fairway driver mid-range for most of these guys. I think some of these guys could go mid-range. Mid-range. >> Yeah, >> but they probably wouldn't. >> I mean, if you have a flippy enough driver, >> is that a mid for Cole? >> Yeah. >> Okay, so Cole's trying to do that. If you had a flippy enough driver, you could go all the way to the hole. I think >> you could do something crazy. >> Yeah. >> I'd love to see a practice round with AB and just have him send one. >> Doesn't quite get the turn. >> Canon throws this disc so much that people are selling red and red and yellow dyed PDs. Like that dude is connected with that disc. Ricky also going slower mid-range. And I like the play for them because they can throw it full. Oh man. Just a little kite. Yeah. Look at that. Wow. That's fun. just in the air forever, but only goes like I say only, but probably 450. Yeah. With a buzz. That's cool. That was really, really fun to watch. And you already know Calvin and the Eagle and the results of those two coming together. This needs to slow down. >> Why? >> Uh there's a speed limit. Cole put himself in a pretty tough spot here. Going to have to go with hope that's stable. Yeah. No, not stable enough. Pretty good from there. But >> I'll tell you what, Cole's 450 ft from the pin. I know cuz that was the same exact shot I've seen thrown before. >> Yeah. It's like you kind of sacrifice getting left of the pin for the accuracy to get down the hill. >> Oh, that was cool. That was really cool. >> I think that's why he missed right. Mhm. Yeah, I I agree. Get that distance is important. Give yourself a putt. >> Calvin able to go allheiser. This is looking a little short. >> It is, but not a lot short. Just a little short. >> Yeah, might be closer than Ganon. >> Ricky with the mid off the tea has options. It's a good option. Yeah, chose the right one. >> Going be a bummer to hit that wall on a spikeheiser cuz that thing is gone. Roller Cole from 45 uphill immediately asking it to take a left turn. That's going to keep going. Has one good putt, two poor putts so far. Yeah. Two and two. Got it. That's a good putt. Very nice. Cole is tapping out before we even get to Ricky's approach. Plays the hole as good as you can play it. Two birdies, two pars. I'm Seth Muny, director of safety and player performance for the disc golf pro tour.

Throw it up to here and then you can choose all kinds of different ways to get home. A lot of people are trying that wide sidearm route. I haven't seen a lot of people go over the pond yet. Uh Ganon with the big spikeheiser. I wouldn't even consider that over the pawn. >> Yeah, it's like way over the pawn, >> but I think they're all trying to go far and straight down this left gap. >> I agree. Oh boy. Things don't get easier. Short rightight. But he is the man for the job. I don't think he's gonna be worried too much about par, but what do you think about going home? You think he can figure out anything over there or is it completely cut off? >> No, he's he's he has no birdie options that I would imagine. Right. Right. I don't want to be wrong right now. I think that he's got >> I agree with you. It's just it it's also the Rickster. >> Oh, getting love is a sneaky little snake on that one. getting through the limbs. Not the line that he was looking for. Came out a little early the last couple days. Let's see if he can get it around the corner. Oh, no. Well, yeah, that will help. >> No, Lay up to the top. Try to get up and down. I think so. >> Am I weird for saying that his foot was in the wrong spot? Cuz he was like lining up for the fairway but not where the basket is. >> Yeah, pretty close. I mean, >> yeah, it's hard to call >> Well, it's kind of to the right. Yeah. Still, you know, like but not way right. >> Yeah, it's not way right. So, you know. >> Yeah, it's kind of like in the box. I wouldn't I wouldn't call that one if it was a dog leg like completely sideways. I'd agree >> then. You're right. Yeah. Not trying to throw the part. Okay. Gana once again throwing the fade away. This worked out for him terrifically well yesterday. Today it's in a ghillie suit hidden deep in the bush. The poison ivy, the sumac, the oak. Thanks for adding to it. Oh, Calvin Eli Ricky looking looking up. Weird cuz he's got the he's got kind of the straight shot right at it. Let's see if he knows more than us. >> What is he? Oh, there it is. >> Yeah. >> What will you have on your tombstone? >> Yeah, that's not great. Mm- No, that's that's not what he was looking for. Straight down. >> Oh no, no, no, boy. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Fine. Ish. Fineish. Yeah. >> Yeah. Call for birdie. Full send on this one. Just trying to avoid metal roll. And there's no metal. There's no roll. You're happy with that. >> And Gon is using a time extension here. Well thrown. Hard to get in there. Big kid. I mean, >> it did take a while to get to your disc. >> Yeah, but like you can't break stuff to get to your disc. >> It's almost like me going to get my disc on hole one though. I'll get cold called it. You can call it, you know, I saw kind of >> Canon not not happy with that one. So, he didn't call it, it was called. >> Ricky calls par from deep. What a save. Once again, the scramble master delivers. >> It's like he likes the drama. >> He does. He has to like it. >> He's just like, "No, you can't." Yeah. Like you can't bang. >> He does every time, man. Heart of a champion. >> I'm not. And yeah, Ganon's still I mean I >> helping me when I'm trying to play it the correct way. >> Yeah, obviously I didn't see the entire clip. Well done. Good parsley for K. If I'm being honest, that's why I like the extension. It's for lies like that. When you can't get there, you should be allotted more time. And in this case, he gets more time. And I don't know why you'd be angry about being called on having time to get to a very, very tough lie. >> Yeah. Well, I mean then you have to what comes in is the the thoughts about like you know the the time starts when you get to your lie and you approach your lie and so then >> when you're walking >> I was forced into it >> and just you know two players discussing what it means to get to your live what when is that time starting and so on and so forth. Cole got called on hole one cuz he had a tough spot to get to and >> and he's like, "Hey man, if you if I'm getting called on that, then what's the difference between your lie and my lie? We're both trying to play as well as we can." >> Yeah, I agree with Cole. >> Totally. Hole six, par4, 658 ft dog leg. This is a This is like the definition of a dog leg. Landing zone. You miss it, you're in trouble. Tight window out the gate, too. Oh, this could get a big skip and be down the hill. >> But it doesn't. >> I mean, but that's still technically on the down slope of the hill. >> Yeah. >> It just looked like maybe it could get some totally >> This is a little bit wider and gets the skip. Yeah, >> look at that. >> So good. Yeah, that's the best one we've seen by far. That's what you're looking for rigs to do. Also great. I will say I haven't seen Ganon really show emotion in the way that he just did the last hole. I'm kind of excited to see it. See how he battles with it and how he manages it. >> Looks like it's bit wide. Gets a nice skip. That's fine. >> Managed well so far. It's a good drive. Doesn't turn it. But if it gets clean, >> yeah, he's going to have a good look. >> Oh, yeah. He's got a great look. >> You know what I mean, though? Like, yeah, he he'll check his bag when he misses a putt, and you might think that's frustration. He's just trying to get information, >> but he actually looked a little flustered there. And that I haven't seen that type of emotion from him in a in a tournament situation yet. >> Yeah, I think a lot of times he's >> Jeez Louise. >> He's getting >> That's crazy. >> called by official. And that is what it is. Being called by a player seems a little more personal sometimes, you know. >> Yeah. >> And you want to figure it out. >> So, I get it. >> Anyways, we can move on past it. These are some great shots so far. >> Ricky double kick is useful. You That almost turns into an instant bogey. >> Now he's got a shot. >> Yeah, now he's got a shot of it. This is a dream drive from Calvin. >> He's going to want that back badly. >> Just a par. Basket's in danger from from this spot. No kidding. Good height for Rick again. Just fights back with a birdie. Do you when you teach how to putt, do you do you incorporate leg work into it as far as like lower body stuff like pushing into the throw into the putt motion >> timing? Yeah. >> It's just so interesting because I feel like every player we've ever watched uses a decent amount of lower body work into that putt. A little push off that back leg. You see that little movement there from Cole kicking off the ground? Like Ganon just removes the legs completely from the equation. Just never seen anyone else putt like that. >> Yeah. Yeah. It's like they're like locked up >> like you've mentioned before. >> Yeah. That's one of my favorite favorite things. I'm just waiting for him to pass out. >> Hole seven is a par three. That's 420 ft. Straight slightly left to slightly right is the shape for the right hand backhand. Enough trees to keep you honest and OB right and left that come in to play in a hurry. AB yesterday through this perfect today. Looks like he's >> perfect. >> Yeah, perfect. >> That's nice. Cole kicks his foot out and it works. Oh wow. getting him been a little left. Does he finally get the turn? >> Great. >> That's goodness. That is just >> a dream line. We've seen two of them now. AB and Ganon both couldn't be more centered on the fairway and then the turn at the right time and then the fade at the right time. Just figuring out every single bit getting it right. Ricky nearly hitting the same line. Might find his way all the way through. And he does. >> Yeah, we get a lot of putts on this one. Couple. >> That's awesome. >> Couple outside left. See if Calvin can get this one to drift a little. Little too much drift. >> It's turning. Heads up. Gallery. Oh no. Ow. That is right. OB kick for Calvin. And got to be careful with that approach. That hit something, but he seems to be pretty close. So Ricky didn't want us to see that. Blocked the shot with his shoulder. Good thinking. Good birdie for Cole. >> Shout out to the lady who took the hit from Calvin there in the calf. I met her earlier tonight. She said she's perfectly fine, but she did say that Calvin did not give her the disc. >> That's tough. It's a tough break. >> It's kind of the tradition in golf. >> Yeah. >> Or at least sign your glove. >> Oh, yeah. We should have gloves to give away in disco. >> Sorry, you got hit, Lauren. hole eight par4. Get through the gap and you want to land right about here. That's a really great drive that brings that hillside to your the right a little bit more manageable. If you're short, you're going to have to throw a big high flex shot. This hole is tough to reach when you're doing that. I think forehand is a good play, but also backhand gets far enough. Just have to avoid that cross branch that we saw a few players hit. >> Going with a flex shot. power. >> It does well. Yeah, it does. >> Just doesn't really miss forehand lines. Seems like. >> No, that's really good. All the way to the top of the hills. Power, height, down the middle. Everything you want. Really nice shot. Ricky also a little lower. It's hard to get the skip up the hill. You want to get that distance. You really have to play with that branch. It's not really a branch. It's just a leaning tree. >> There we go. Everybody makes it out. But look at the difference between what Ricky has to do and what we're going to see Ganon throw. And you can see the difference of why it's so important to get that height. Ricky going straight up a steep hill. And this is looking pretty good. But that's going to be hising. Yeah. Outside. Yeah. Deep C2. Yeah. He didn't like it right away. He didn't get it wide at all. That's wide. I like it. should. So, very likable. It's about as likable as it gets. Now, see here, I mean, there's a little bit more distance for Cole and much flatter grade shot on this second. Able to get like a moderate height as opposed to a steep height. >> Yeah, it's going to find Casey White forehand gap. That would only make sense if you watched our practice round, >> which we know you did. >> And look at this. Just can't make the shot easier on the second shot than that. >> Might go okay. >> Yeah, that's fine. >> Just crashing into the tree. And that's actually a pretty fair play. >> I don't mind it. >> Going deep though, you can get into a little trouble. >> This seems pretty Ricky Weissaki like, doesn't it? You think this is good? >> Oh, he was getting up for a second. It just didn't swing. He made a little movement towards it. >> Saw that. We're going to get a full on stand up putt. Give me that. Nice little 18 20 footer. >> Not a gimme. Well done. Very much a gimme. Well done. What? Ooy. What was that? That was just a miss, right? That wasn't like Was that weird stuff? >> I mean, he had a lot of chains, but yeah, he missed it. missed it left. >> It stays 80% of the time. >> Why Why has he done that lately? There's been like three or three times a season where it's like inexplicably impossibly short miss for him. I I don't It's just strange. I've never seen him do that before until this season. >> I don't know. I feel like he's done it a ton. >> Yeah, >> it's just kind of his miss. >> Okay. >> Typically, they're just spitting out though. Casey getting a little extra help from the top of the rock. Then he's helping himself out from deep circle too. Or maybe not deep circle two, but uphill circle two feels deep. >> Saucy. >> Nice back in. Smooth as silk sheets. >> Miss the branches. It doesn't matter. Calvin going with the eagle. just trying to burn it into the hill. >> Yeah, he's trying to go past the basket. I talked to him about this hole earlier this morning. He's like, "If you go past the basket, congratulations." So hard to do with this low ceiling and going uphill the whole way. >> Ricky kind of needs a bird all of a sudden. He's going to get one. He's kind of going to get one. Cole for six down on the front nine. Wow. Birdie's the last four. Comes in tied for the lead. Goes into the back nine with a pretty solid lead. Very solid. >> Canon keeps him honest. Just three back. Gavin making a big charge up the leaderboard after the front nine. >> Seriously. >> Yeah, I think he shot four under front yard. So he is nine down through 12 right now. Ganon Gavin is Yeah. Solid shooting right there. Fire emoji up the leaderboard. You go, sir. Play with Isaac at this point. He was on like a million whole birdie streak. Killing it. A lot of good stuff going on in our leaderboard. Love to see it. Love to see it. A lot of lot of movement just like we're used to. >> I like what I'm seeing from Cole cuz it not looking that impressive to me. >> Yeah. >> And that's what you want. >> Yeah. Uh-huh. That's Every single time that Ganon walks away with one of these victories, he just kind of does it. Makes it look easy. >> And Cole hasn't done anything flashy. >> Yep. >> I mean, that putt there, edge of the circle, >> really nice. >> Makes it look simple and easy. It should be flashy because it's a good putt, but he just made it look too easy. Yep. >> Yeah. So, that's exactly what he was looking for coming in with the hot round yesterday. We're halfway through the tournament. 27 down, 27 to go. Back nine coming right up. We'll see you guys on the other side of the break. well well I want you.
