Chris was amazing, congrats to him! But what the hell has the PDGA done that a guy who plays in a tough 4 day event and takes home the w in a potentially life altering MAJOR, can't even raise his arms with excitement when he won? I was so looking forward to the emotional release, the huge smiles, maybe a nice fist bump to the camera for the fans, etc, etc. What did we get? A mild deep breath and a walk off. Turned it off at the point, bring on the next event.

He's a serious guy. Didn't even hug his wife until scores were turned in. Went to the scoring office, checked his score, double-checked his score, triple-checked his score, went outside and hugged his wife for a full minute, went to the broadcast booth.

What JV wrote, it bugged out after a couple of minutes. What made it interesting was that they started up before DGU did.

And a darned fine wrap show it was. I don't know how many eyes you guys got, but I hope it paid. I for one really enjoyed it.

This is where interviews of guys coming off the course occurred.

Looks like we both hit the nail on the head.

We need a "how to play discgolf in the rain" video from Uli

Even more mindblowing is that even if you take away those 40 OB for Simon he would still only be tied for 8th with Eagle

That rollaway on 17 from Calvin was heartbreaking... If it went in, that would have been a 3 strokes difference. Crazy.

Or if he just lay up that putt on 17. . .and the one on 14, the one on 14 was VERY risky to go for. . feel like he had more to loose than to win at that point
