first on the te welcome your defending
MCO Champion Simon
Laz what a win last year for Simon at
this
tournament he birdied the last eight
holes straight to beat Anthony Bella by
a stroke
close was that long birdie
look just inside Circle
[Applause]
two yes so right now it is still the
case on this approach uh the wind is
behind the players which probably is I I
think oh my gosh he made that I just oh
my God I missed it what a putt this guy
he literally had the backhand turnover
the wind kept it from turning I’m
walking away to talk to you guys and
then he just jams it unbelievable who
thought he was going to make that what a
put two H yeah still
there wow if you get one of these
guitars you’re going to have to learn
cuz this man right here Simon said he
toured the Gibson Factory and was just
blown away he saw 15,000
guitars this week
oh it fights
through great shot seeing some of the
guys who played well here last year
looking sharp
early
beautiful
Simon on the par 37
and that’s pretty much exactly what you
want to do here yeah you want to get it
on edge and then get it to roll forward
too that’s kind of the high level line
nicely done Simon
the yes that was fine to
me yes so Simon the uh angle he wants to
take to throw this approach where I’m
assuming he’s going to attempt to save
par he uh is running up from out of
bounds or or kind of riding the line and
uh he was just discussing uh or I guess
talking with Ben about whether or not he
needed to make sure his foot his back
foot was up his left foot um and so they
were I guess just making sure he knew he
needed to get that up off the
ground and it looks actually clean from
The Stance violation standpoint and as a
shot what a
shot you saw him consciously pick the
back leg up that can totally screw up
your timing and that was crazy
good what a shot from Simon
lazat oh that’s just a pretty line and
he just keeps it inside the trees on the
left and slides it into the
bullseye and what a par save from
[Applause]
Simon didn’t find metal but he’ll have a
short putt left for par Simon on the
ninth crafty footwork from the catch cam
birdie putt there for
Simon to make it seven down on the
front yes Simon is on
fire just got to get a big flare
left wow what a shot Simon lazat dealing
from the Fairway he’s just playing the
ground so well he’s playing the slopes
he’s adjusting for the skips it’s just
so nice to watch He’s I mean nearly
playing perfect for us the Putter’s
hot you want to see like what what kind
of backhand does get
there
oh
okay Simon lazat to get one shot off the
lead into solo second you bet Simon on
fire there’s not even really a lot of
reference points to use this tree line
here blocks pretty much
everything well here we go
well it was close enough we could hear
it land and look at this inside the
circle that’s not going to land 60 feet
in front of him like it like it did at
Jonesboro fantastic shot so I’m going to
get to 10 down and take a share of the
lead was there any
doubt I think as of now it seems like
the wind has calmed down a decent amount
but it does seem that when there is some
when it picks up slightly that they are
playing back into it so if they are
leaving themselves short of the basket
then they are definitely putting into
[Applause]
headwinds just like that inside the
circle Simon for birdie to get to 12
down this was the best round last year
and it’s the current course
record got
it great performance from this feature
card Simon lazat the star though with a
12 under bogey free performance playing
through what did he say back pain
migraine cold he a tummy a tummy
a laundry list that’s what he said the
the worse you feel the better you play
[Music]
poter just hasn’t been super sharp for
Chris skipping forehand for Simon and
just doesn’t quite clear the
tree Simon for birdie from 63
ft what yes oh my goodness
zimon started to walk it off he’s just
at the arcade playing ski ball Charlie
he’s just wow he’s hitting the hundreds
right now he’s hitting the corner pocket
that’s for sure
wow another high one
377
yeah Simon for
birdie oh
[Applause]
yeah Simon another Circle Edge
[Applause]
birdie Simon gets it way up in the air
oh
my almost in the
basket that’s the best Drive we’ve seen
on this hole hands down if that’s the
shot to get to the bullseye that’s
that’s tough that’s tough Charlie that
is
tough Annie from
Simon almost too
good Simon for another long range
birdie can he keep it
going
yes just enough Body English to get it
over the
rim it’s one of the benefits of putting
with a tiny bit of nose
up middle of the disc hits that
Rim little fist pump
just gets caught up he’s going to have a
little obstructed look from C2 it looks
like going to go for it chance to extend
the lead to two heading in at
Sunday oh yeah in the dark
yes Simon knocks it down on
18 look at this replay Charlie it is
dark in
Nashville
Simon
[Music]
nocturnal to the Circle I like how some
players are just going with that simple
turnover not even worrying about the
Finish MC Beth in for birdie Simon he
matches
uh-oh 400 feet in here on the
third well
pops out Simon a chance to extend the
lead
again gets it to go
down that is a dagger of a putt here on
five can Simon keep it going you
bad another birdie Simon stays perfect
on the the putting
green Simon lazad has birdied five of
the first six
holes
beautiful just sneaks it around the last
tree to start six for
seven come
on come on on
fire out of his hand he said wide and he
knew it
edge of the circle for
Simon there’s just so much air space To
the Left To then work back to the sweet
spots and the fairways and the
greens and Simon is just on another
level right now and the crowd loves it
this guy cannot miss it’s been kind of a
tail tail cross and you have to get the
disc wide if you’re hitting left of the
basket it’s it’s has a chance to skip
Open
be Simon a gentle roll down to about 15
ft and he just cannot
stop Simon can become the first player
in the field to go eight under on the
front nine this
weekend with this 16-footer
was there any doubt Simon
lazat extends the lead again
he is running away with this
thing oh that was a great shot it landed
right by the basket and it rolls out to
maybe 25 ft he should have a look for
birdie Simon for birdie he’s in to get
to 29 under par
Simon’s
third filters through
everything when it’s your day it’s your
day man it’s been his weekend it’s been
just
unbelievable I believe I just said Simon
shot a 54 that was at Eureka he shot of
62 at Northwood Simon in for another
[Applause]
birdie and for good measure he’s going
to have a
[Applause]
look Simon puts it under the basket and
takes it
in couple of Ops and Simon lazat he’s
got one guitar for his first kid now
he’s got
[Music]
two

Thursday
morning and that really was I was like
man if I want to do it for anything it’s
wor that
guitar I I can’t explain how it happened

ready for this track even last week was
challenging but then
L everything goes in it’s just I don’t
know how it’s
wild um I know Champions Cup is next
week what’s next for you my wife is 9
