Under Rick's Umbrealla-Ella-Ella-Eh-Eh

Sorry for the delay in this episode. There were things that delayed it that were completely out of my control. In this episode I talk about Ricky and his umbrella. I also go over his comments on World's. I give my two cents on how I think World's could be improved in general. I also talk about the GMC results and the dominance of Kristin Tattar and Ohn Scoggins. So much happening in this episode!

Ricky World’s Comments

Best Player VS World Champion
What he described was the season PotY/Season MVP
Paul McBeth responded saying that Worlds are a great metric and yearlong metric aren’t great
Funny the guy who has lots of world titles says worlds are great and the guy with the better season stats says that’s a better metric
It wouldn’t hurt to look at the World’s format going forward
Before touring was sustainable it was the only time the best competed against each other
Now they compete against each other weekly
Sans some Europeans

Final round proceeds as normal
Ricky Wins by an Umbrella
Only hole 14 Ricky hits an umbrella left in bounds
The disc hits it and kicks in bounds
Watching the video, it’s hard to tell if it would have gone out or not
Really seemed 50/50
Ricky proceeds to take a 5 on the hole
He takes another 5 on 16
Tied into 17
Dickerson didn’t go for it
18 Dickerson goes OB twice handing Ricky the win
Kristin Tattar
Was not leading in after the first round
Trailed Henna Blomroos by 1
Tied going into the final round
Ends up beating her by 7 strokes in the end
Kristin’s game looks dialed
Doesn’t let mistakes ruin a round
As pointed out by others she is playing consistent safe golf
Waits for everyone else to make a mistake
Ohn Scoggins
Who’d have thought she’s be consistently at the top
Ranked 3rd by UDisc in the world
Best FPO scrambler at 51%
Best C1X putter 83%
Decent number for MPO

Puts her 11th in MPO
Next best touring pro Catrina Allen 21%

Catrina Allen
First time missing the cut and cash since 2012
Keeps messing with form
Is she hurt?
Paige Pierce
Barely makes the cut by sinking birdie putt on 18
Needs to fix the mental game
The Playoffs
On an episode of the Nick & Matt show
Gannon Buhr, Chris Dickerson, Jeremy Kolling, Isaac Robinson
All agreed there was nothing different/special about the GMC Playoff event
As a viewer it didn’t feel different than a regular pro tour stop
Cut line was never really mentioned
After each round no added drama of players getting cut from MVP
Just felt boring
Don’t know if the playoffs is the right term for this event
Could be slow walking it to something better
The people not qualifying for MVP not shocking
Uli was cut due to covid
