Agreed, Eagle is certainly a young star in the sport and he's only maturing more and more. Look forward to seeing him throw for years to come. It's awesome that him and Simon play together all the time, which is why I especially enjoy seeing them together on a card.
Big props boys the quality of footage gets better with every tournament. Graphics are on point. Commentating is always well done. Thanks for doing what you do.
It's an incredibly long drive for sure, but realize that the distance the disc traveled isn't actually 720 feet. Simon threw along the straightest path to the basket, which takes you over OB almost the entire way. The 726 measurement on the hole assumes you follow the fairway up the center, then turn left for your second shot. They don't measure routes over OB when determining the length of a hole. Either way though, one of the farthest, gutsiest, and most impressive golf shots you'll ever seen in a tournament.
I hope they do a big jerm sexton commentary on this round to see what they say about simons shots especially on 9. I'm still in disbelief, freaking amazing
He didn't actually. The hole measures 726 feet, but that's not "as the crow flies". The measurement assumes a mortal route, which is two legs of basically a left angle that leads to the basket. Simon threw the hypotenuse of that angle, which is the only way that it's possible. As mighty as Simon is, there is no human on Earth currently who can throw a disc 720 feet on a Hyzer flip like that. I suspect the total distance covered was 600 feet though, which is out of the range of nearly everyone on tour. It also takes HUGE balls to even go for that, especially when a 3 on the hole is relatively pedestrian.
@@Thebrianweissman It's 661 feet as the crow flies, according to my non scientific google maps measurement. But I think the disc flew a tiny bit further when you account for curves. Plus altitude. Just amazing.
That hole 9 shot is the best shot we will see all year.
Simon on hole 9, I am speechless
bankerjumper Completely ridiculous. No one can chuck a disc like that guy can. And it looks like he isn't even trying.
Eagle can chuck a disc like Simon. That kid is just as insanely powerful, and he's even younger.

No regular human being should have to play against Paul.
He's from space.
Holy F!! If I'm not mistaken, back when I started playing that would have been a world record throw.
Unreal. Unreal. Unreal. Simon got us all speechless.
Love the slo-mo shots behind the scorecards. You guys are killing it. :)

Awesome job. Really like the slow motion reaction camera after each hole.
Five years at least.
I'm glad this round was filmed thanx ccdg and gbo
I just love watching disc golf. Come on ESPN....get on this train!
My gosh I love the slow mo intro!! Please do more of that wherever you see fit ;).
Superb as always gents! Thank you so much for including metric distances.
Great slo-mo replays 👍🙌
I love the close up reaction shots! Adds some personality to the videos
perfect video to wind down after a 17 hour work day thanks guys good upload
Zach Lund Jesus, I'd be asleep rn 😂😂😂
Wow insane drives from Simon....
Best tee shot I've ever seen, Simon on 9
Great opening jams...good vibes
Thats just unreal what Simon does..... Unreal....
Awoke to some CCDG and a coffee. THIS WEEKEND IS GONNA BE IRIE!
Round 1? Round 2 isn't it?
That hole 9 shot was amazing, but what was with the random face cam?
Either way, absolute beast.
Simon, what a beast o.o
The music was kinda loud
R2 as the desc says, title misspelled
That Big Jerm Stank Face on his putt from the tree on 7...lmao!
where are the mic'd up videos?
holy cow Simon you beast, that's gotta be like a world record golf distance shot right
World record is over 1100 feet I believe. Probably one of the farthest if not the farthest pull in tournament play though.
Ahhh ok I'll have to check that out thanks

Where is this 'micd up' footage you speak of?
simons drive on hole 9. No words
Part 2?
Round 2 part 1
just something small I noticed, didn't Simon have different shoes yesterday?
Yup!
Ian Anderson any reason for the change?
+Jonathan Gerber he kept grip locking with the Thursday shoes.
Central Coast Disc Golf the three eagles definitely says he made the right call 😂😂
Where is the second part of this round?
+Edward Gonzales uploading
who had rnd 2 lead card coverage?
jomez pro
any clue what simon threw?
+Sean Bilderback pd2
I didn't see anyone take that hyzer on three during worlds. It looks like such an easier line too.
They moved the basket location.
I get that, but even at the old basket. For the people going for par the hyzer puts you in the perfect landing zone. Taking the building out of play.
Simon wow. Just wow. Hole 9 is a 700+ft rip
simon forming black holes on hole 9
I hope they do a big jerm sexton commentary on this round to see what they say about simons shots especially on 9. I'm still in disbelief, freaking amazing
Do these guys get groupies? Lizotte should after all those eagles..

why only 720p
Because of UA-cam's loading system..
Simon is ridiculous.
Shorten the intro, we don't need over a minute-thirty before we can watch some disc golf. We just want to watch some disc golf.
Ethan Longoria which part do you not like? the sponsors or the great edits? skip ahead, ungrateful fucker.
Gee, you certainly don't sound like a lonely sad-sack. There's no need for 00:37 - 01:55, since you asked.
