I'm actually a little proud of how I was able to pick up on the 'special-ness' of this hole as a rookie player five years ago, and my attempt at humorously pointing it out in my review.

To us mere mortals, aces two days in a row would mean our chances of getting a tourney ace would be about 0%. Mcbeast chances probably are about 90% now

not to downplay those "aces", but I am sure he is in practice mode and those were his 4th or 5th shots at the basket... just sayin
Yup. Buzzz, Buzzz, big hyzer. I ruined many rounds that could have been my personal best on hole 18 due to not being able to stay in the fairway.

You guys did notice the stamp on the disc he threw the second one with, right?

Smart move on his part IMO.

was the basket accross the pond present at that time? it would be impossible to get over the pond off the tee and the pond is more than 14 feet from the basket, unless i am thinking about a different hole.

Nope, though I didn't see it personally, I know folks who did. He threw from the 2nd tee over the pond, within 14' of the long pin. Every time I play Idlewild, I stop and look at that tee, and marvel at the idea of even trying to get there!

I heard the first one was a cubby. 4th shot. The second one was his first shot.

Yes it was across the pond. I know the course well and he did through it from the only tee on that hole. He did lose one in the pond on Fri practicing the shot.
If you are wondering about coming here to watch this, I suggest you make plans to come to Cincinnati...

I've been so excited about this event I did not even realize there is a world championships going on right now. I didn't even see a Masters Worlds thread on here.

Watching a little live feed off and on while I'm wrapping up the days work. Just watched the feature MPO play through (orig) 4,5,6, and 7. Cool seeing how they attack the course. I've never thrown a forehand off the tee on 6 but to see McBeth put one almost to the opening of the second tunnel makes me want to try it.
Also, the course looks great on video.

Yep, I saw ya! Sorry to see Matt struggle today, but I think everybody recognized (& the announcers talked about it) how quickly Idlewild can cost even the best players a lot of strokes.
Still, and even with the rain and obvious humidity, the place looks really good. Thank You Bill Alich and Fred Salaz, plus everyone else who helped! The work showed on camera.
Shame I've got the new job and can't make it out there til Saturday
(ps: the new baskets are gorgeous).
