How did Ricky hold on to that disc on 17 when he fell?
Mr. Albatross said:That's a professional hold on, right there.
That OB throw is so tough for Ellis. Hate to see it end this way.
Calvin's shot on #13: best I've ever seen.
Better than McBeth's when he went 18 under in 2018 (it was hole #12 back then).
Toss up with Albert's shot on 18 yesterday for best shot of the tournament.
Did it go over the ob or just power through an ad sign? Sounded like it hit a sign
The signs are 2-3 feet behind the OB line. The disc went OB, struck the sign and bounced back a little but not far enough to get back in bounds.
There was a spotter there all day, but not for the playoff.:doh:
Ellis went first so if the spotter had been there Calvin would have known it was OB before he teed off.
Anyone else see the Gannon Buhr "play from a spectator's bag" throw?

Apparently the ruling was that he *could* play from behind the bag if he wanted to (and chose not to), but I'm confused why moving the bag wasn't the correct answer to this one.. anyone happen to know?
If it were a rock could you move it?
If the rock were "part of the course", no, you couldn't move it. You also would treat being on top of the rock as the "playing surface". But with a case like this, the bag is neither "part of the course", nor should it be the playing surface.
In my mind, the 'correct' way to play this would have been to mark your lie directly underneath the bag (i.e. that's the playing surface), and then to ask the owner of the bag to move it, because it is directly in the lie.
Or am I wrong on these rules?
I get your point. I wouldn't take issue with moving the bag, but I suspect the rules mavens might. If it were part of a downed tree branch (basically a loose stump) and your disc landed on top of it, could you move the stump and place your mini? I personally would not object, but wouldn't be surprised if I am wrong with regards to how the rules experts view it.
PS: you said, "correct way to play it". I don't think what he did was wrong, the only question in my mind is whether there is an alternative.
