video?????????????

I'm not sure if there were cameras out there. This was a two course A-tier in San Antonio they only came down for because of the points race. I did hear someone say something about video but it might only be the skins March or final round. I definitely didn't see any big camera equipment walking the course.

9-6 .. When McBeth finished higher, he beat Ricky by 66 throws an average of 7.3 winning margin. When Wysocki finished ahead, he won by an average of 5.6 throws. (note there is an event with a 28 stroke win for McBeth.

If you take that out McBeth averaged a 5.4 throw lead vs Ricky's 5.6 win over McBeth. Save for one event, they are pretty evenly matched.

I think it should be noted that McBeth beat him at:

The Memorial
Masters Cup
European Masters
Pro Worlds
USDGC

What the heck happened to Wysocki at USDGC?

 

[spaceguy87]

ahhh thanks playa

I did see some RIDICULOUS drives from both of them during the skins match. McBeth made a crazy uphill 60 foot putt to win 3 skins after a 500+ ft drive to setup the shot.

OB...

Is anybody familiar enough with the courses played to determine if certain styles of courses appear to give one of these guys a significant advantage over the other? Obviously like comparing Manning v Brady, but relatively speaking, everyone's got certain strengths and weaknesses that become more apparent on certain courses.

This was Ricky's first lost to McBeth in TX this year.

 

[Disc414]

^Definitely makes up for the loss at Worlds.

I watched the last round on Sunday. Some love should be given to Bradley Williams. He finished just two behind McBeth, and he matched McBeth and Wysocki shot for shot in the last round.

I wasn't trying to say McBeth and Wysocki were the only players playing well or in contention. It's just that Mcbeth vs. Wysocki is THE rivalry (as shown by the tournament results someone else posted) so I thought people would be interested in how the rivalry ended the year. Bradley was making monster drives just like the other two top guys, at least from what I saw during skins.

Yeah. I understand. I wasn't being critical. I just wanted to say something about Mr. Williams on a thread that was partially related to the tournament.

Carry on!

43rd at USDGC, ouch.

This is all my opinion; based on seeing both play online a ton and in person at USDGC.

Rick loves to throw really high hyzer flip drives. They have a ton of potential, but its a high risk reward proposition. When you flip discs over that high up in the air a lot of things, both good and bad, can happen. I think throwing that high in the air is a huge mistake on a course like Winthrop, and I think it has a lot to do with his struggles at USDGC. The amount of wind out their this year was a factor for sure as well. On the flip side, that style played very will for rick at the Japan Open this year. At the japan open the fairways are huge and the discs are light, so he could just chuck it up in the air and let it ride.

Paul takes the exact opposite approach off the tee most of the time. Paul's got a gun, but he uses his arm off the tee much differently then a lot of people. Generally speaking he throws much lower shots off the tee then guys like Rick, which means that he has a much easier time placing his drives where he wants. His approach is much more accurate and has less risk.

That's my 2 cents anyway

Seems to me like McBeth is the better putter - that dude seems to drain everything.

 

[Streets]

McBeth is just better.
