At least Gannon threatened to make a contest of it and only won by four, despite beating the brakes off the field.
It's truly unfortunate that Gannon Buhr is almost certainly the best player to ever play #DiscGolf. The only real asterisk is his longevity. Going forward. #DGPT
Kat Mertsch had a moderate chip to the basket to force the playoff, and juiced it long OB and I'm crying in the club. #DGPT #DiscGolf
Cadence Burge drops from 2nd due to her back injury. Sucks for her, but glad we don't have to watch her struggle to walk and throw all day. Some injuries just aren't worth fucking with. #DGPT #DiscGolf
For real, though, to not only thug it out and finish the round through a major and debilitating back injury, but to take the lead at a #DGPT event is hugely commendable. #DiscGolf
Luckily for Cadence, #DiscGolf is the kind of sport where there's definitely somebody around who has some Percs. #DGPT
Once again, I have to ask. Silva, do you want to be there? Is someone forcing you? Do they have a gun? #DGPT #DiscGolf
Dog, what? Evan Smith and Chris Dickerson ended up stacked at the bottom of the hill on 18 an inch from OB. Absolutely wild. #DGPT #DiscGolf
Shelby Cowen on DGN coverage tomorrow? The Sweaty MVPedo guys will be straight up 'jorking it'. and by 'it', haha, well. let's justr say. Their Pyros.

That Ricky/Gannon battle was insane, what a wild final round #DGPT
At least in all the controversy, nobody's going to be talking about how Ricky asked if he could break off a dead stick a couple holes before the big one, a thing he absolutely and uncontroversially is not allowed to do. #DGPT #DiscGolf
Like, I wish the story were about Gannon making a 100ft putt on 17 to stay alive and Ricky scrambling from absolute jail on 18 to set up the 60ft putt he drained to force the playoff.
Instead, it's about a marginal rules call and a spot that's essentially unknowable. #DGPT #DiscGolf
Ultimately, it feels like a football match where one side got a very marginal penalty on VAR and got saved by a toenail VAR offside.
Just kinda depressing and unsatisfying. #DGPT #DiscGolf
I don't know if we'll ever know if Rick crossed, but I do think giving him two marginal calls would've been a little too much.
You hate to see it come down to drama, but I don't think Ricky can feel too hard done by. #DGPT #DiscGolf
Rick was really pushing for a close lie, but it ended up being given on the far side. He doesn't connect on the long putt and Gannon wins. #DGPT #DiscGolf
Ricky goes OB on the second shot! Spotter says he crossed, but I really don't know on that... #DGPT #DiscGolf
gannon v ricky is an incredible rivalry bc both of them are just hyper competitive assholes; always makes for good viewing when they’re going at it
#discgolf #dgpt
That's the kind of call that makes calling PDGA rules so shitty.
Ricky was pretty dead to rights on the violation, but Gannon pushing for a penalty would've put a shadow on a win if it led to that. What do you do? #DGPT #DiscGolf
Jeff Spring made them make a call on it. Gannon definitely told him he broke the rule, but basically said he wasn't going to call it and win that way. Yikes. #DGPT #DiscGolf
That branch /just about/ extended into Rick's lie, but that definitely looked suspect as to being allowed to move it. #DGPT #DiscGolf
I wanted to talk shit about Nate Perkins saying "we have dinosaurs in the canals", meaning alligators, but there have been multiple birds spotted in there, so he's not totally wrong, unfortunately. #DGPT #DiscGolf
I'm not sure if the jazz procession with the Hacienda Brass Band for the winner is deeply cool or cringe, but it couldn't be more New Orleans. #DGPT #DiscGolf
