2014 Japan Open

Thanks guys

I want Feldy to win just because he always comes so close lately and fails, but honestly Paul is only two strokes back and closing in on the lead... I'd be kind of surprised if he doesn't win.

Last two rounds of a tournament: McBeast mode activate!

I really don't have anyone I "want" to win. I just want to see some good golf. Maybe a big Come-from-Behind win, just for hype, but these are all fantastic players. I just want to see some video.

Looks like after 3 holes Ricky is in the lead, with everyone else tied one stroke back.

Looks like an interesting 4th round with crazy conditions. Lead card scores 55 McBeth, 55 Wysocki, 57 Locastro, 59 Feldberg. Wysocki leads by two over Nikko and McBeth. I can imagine someone on the chase card may have shot better. And my two month old son helped me check updates a couple times that round. Thanks!

Seems to be some controversy about whether or not Nikko went OB on #6 in round 4. Wysocki and Nikko and the TD went back out in the rain to review the hole, but Feldy and McBeast stayed behind. Something about painted lines and grass. This is why string is by far a better OB marker. So Nikko either shoots 57 or 59... and last I heard, it's still not clear.

String not necessarily better. Its position moves around with wind and players walking on it. Plus, it can break leaving you with no line at all.

All I know is I have a few buddies playing and while they are not at the tip pity top, all but one have a serious chance of cashing (especially since two are in the Masters pool and one is in the Grandmasters pool).

The central theme they are telling me though is that they are having a blast playing the event, and they don't care how they finish. Very cool to hear.

On a side note, an unidentified player was ejected from the tournament for cursing and throwing a clipboard at another player. Sounds like he was the only one not having a great time at the Japan Open.

Well, the PDGA scoring page shows two players who have DNF'd in R4.

One other note from my buddy Conor (Mr. Butler ton on here) seems like a few of his discs didn't make weight. Of course, it's on him as a player to check first, but it's kind of lame when discs labeled as 155 grams are over 160. He's still shooting decently though.

No video coverage is really killing me...

Here's an appetizer.

I wish nikko had stuck with gateway /mixed bag, he'd have at least one major by now.

Edit: another major, usdgc x1

He also won the 2008 Japan Open. Do some research before making these senseless claims lol

He still has a mixed bag, especially in Japan.

The only guys in the top 10 that don't have an Innova disc in the bag for this tournament are Doss and Feldberg.

 

[juju]

He also won the 2010 Japan Open. Do some research before making these senseless claims lol

FTFY

Awesome, can't wait... any outlook on when they will be released? And are you doing all rounds or just final?

 

[SteezeOG]

lol at all the pros doing the japanese stereotype voice. That's got to be well received by the locals.

Cost

Wonder what people's budget for this trip would be? I would like to see actual costs for lodging, airfare, food really is. Would love to smash discs on this course all day.
