I just luv par talk
It's unfortunate, this event was absolutely an epic battle between two disc golf heavyweights who played their hearts out. It all came down to the last hole. Whether it was called a par 2, 3, or 10 didn't matter, Ricky got a 2 and Eagle got a 4 so Ricky won by one "stroke". It's going to be remembered for the extraordinary play by those two players in brutal conditions throughout the event. Even though there was no live video feed, I'm glad I stayed up until 1:30 in the morning bouncing from DGWT live scoring, PDGA live scoring, DGWT Instagram video clips, and this thread -- it was surreal, and I'm sure the few others who posted here that night would agree.
The things that impacted play had nothing to do with par designations -- brutal heat, concrete hard fairways, rain, OB, and nerves did. Kudos to everyone involved in this year's Aussie Open, it was spectacular!
