- čas přidán 4. 10. 2014
- Only 18 holes remain in the 2014 USDGC, and only a stroke separates Paul McBeth, Will Schusterick, JohnE McCray and Patrick Brown from one another. Will McBeth capture his 1st U.S. title, or will Schusterick claim his 3rd? Do McCray and Brown have what it takes to hoist the trophy for the first time? It'll all be decided Oct. 4 within the ropes of the Winthrop Gold course in Rock Hill, SC.

I think the fact Will took it means more than Paul getting it. The emotion he showed in his speech. The struggle he had this year. And coming back on top. It makes the win that much better!
This year has been some of the best and most dramatic disc golf I've ever seen. So happy for Will, and Marty, thanks for the great video/editing, and thanks for including that speech at the end. Fantastic.
One of your best. The editing of Will's speech at the end gave a true glimpse of how a lot of us look and feel about this sport. Great work as always.
Amazing video Marty! Maybe the best I've seen! The recording of Paul's putt on 17 (11:12) seriously looks like a movie. It's larger than life, pretty much a perfect shot on his and your part. Also the anguish from Shusterick missing TWO putts and his redemption was nothing less than a storybook moment, and you captured it wonderfully. His speech was heartwarming and great for the sport, masterful editing there as well.
I was really cheering on JohnE. It was tough what happened on 17, that hole makes and breaks dreams, but his birdie on 18 to get him in the playoff was just a spectacular, unexpected comeback. (Seriously, who didn't think he was out of it at that point? He showed us for real) All around an unforgettable moment for the sport, thanks to you for capturing it all, you're definitely the best video outlet for disc.
I have watched a lot, if not every disc golf vid the web has to offer, many of which are majors with the winner interviews, plus I have seen many interviews, no knock Feldberg and Klimo but they joke and laugh at there own jokes, McBeth seems pretty nervous as a speaker, and Ricky talks so fast but Will's speech was spot on and super heart felt. Though I was pulling for McCray, Will's speech made his win even more epic to me! What a good speech!!! and Marty kill vid, way to edit the victory hugs over the speech audio!!!
Great coverage! It was painful to see Will's missed pressure putts. But refreshing to see that these guys are human. We always loft our putts when nervous. Gotta hit that pole!
Thank you so very, very, very, much Marty!
I along with MANY many others really appreciate everything you do to getting us coverage of all these events. Especially, in the amazingly fast matter that you do! Thank you again! :)
I wanted to watch the final round not knowing the outcome and If it were any other channel, I'd of stopped watching when I saw the skip from 1 to 14. But, I know Marty's editing skills and decided to watch and boy am I glad I did. The ending was exceptional. Great work man.
6 years later, this is still the best speech in disc golf history
This is SUCH a fantastic and well-done video!! The most recent of MANY fantastic videos from McFlyHigh. Thanks SO much for the great camera work (!) and editing. Cheers!
Another great video with intense disc golf action.
You capture the sport in a great way but there are also just some great shots and camera work that brings the emotions and feelings out in the peoples faces. It's like good art. Keep it up.
Loving the essence and the feel of your vids and besides, this was a great tournament...Thanks Marty!!!
Another sublime capture!!!!
great footage here. the shot of wills 1st missed putt on 18 is beautifully composed. the butts on 1 with will or Paul in the background showed the high drama and the editing with his speech as voice over at the end was very moving. great work Marty.
thank you so much marty. I always look forward to your cut. from Memphis to the USDGC...
For me, this is as good as disc golf footage can get. This video is straight raw in terms of showing what pressure can do to an athlete. I don't care what you believe in (or don't), seeing JohnE invoke his god on 17 is one reason why this footage so much better than the one with commentary. And there really was nothing that commentary could add to watching Will S. miss those twin bunnies for the win. It speaks for itself. These guys are fallible humans playing for something that means everything professionally to them and that's compelling.
Great speech from Will. Your post round coverage is great, man.
This is my fav round of disc golf on youtube!!
I really like the editing for the speech. Cannot find that anywhere else
Wow! The camera and lighting is perfect. I feel like I'm there:)
Un real capture of one of the best finishes I have ever seen. We all feel for JohnE. He showed alot of heart on 18 to force a playoff when we all thought it was over. When JohnE was taking the lead, Will was always the 1st to give him a fist bump, and Will and showed alot of class. Great Job McFly and thank you so much
Great video and great win by a classy guy.
Well done, Sir
It's sad but I can't help but see JohnE weeping alone in his RV after he lost. Dude really deserved this win. He's a God fearing man but he let pride get the best of him. He should have been humbled and thankful for that impressive lead he had on the disc golf juggernauts Paul and Will. He should have laid up on 17.
Please don't bring God into this. Ffs, you guys making everything about God.
I wanted to see him win because I knew he would give God all the glory, which would be EPIC! but I wouldnt call his excitement pride by any means, he was stoked and having fun, and with a 4 stroke lead, I'd lay up, sad but not a pride comes before the fall kind of thing...
***** Did you miss John E telling god he still loves him after going OB three times on 17??
Matthew Morris He also lost because god didn't want him to win. haha.
FriedMonkeyTurd mature response.
Wow that was ureal!! Great footage should be on ESPN.
Great ending for my hometown pro!
Great video as always, Marty. I especially liked the post round coverage.
Awwww the spoiler :( careful man...
Michael Contreras My bad dude. I wasn't thinking. Edited for future viewers.
Michael Contreras Watch the video first. Read comments after.
Wow. That's all I can say about the quality of this.
Make a Shoestrings #2 about this. It would be amazing.
with Mccray's 4-stroke lead going into 17, he should never have went for the green. if he would had laid up before the ropes, then attacked the green on his second shot he would have been usdgc champ
yeah, but its easy to criticize too after it happens. because as soon as you get complacent. someone will birdie birdie and you make a mistake on 18.. you give it up
Great video! After watching the 2020 USDGC, some friends and I were talking about this dramatic finish in 2014. I just went back and re-watched it and noticed something on the Will's final winning putt (19:18 into the video). Did he commit a stance violation per the PDGA rules? - "806.01 Putting Area: A. Any throw made from within 10 meters of the target, as measured from the rear of the marker disc to the base of the target, is a putt. B. After having released a putt, the player must demonstrate full control of balance behind the marker disc before advancing toward the target. A player who fails to do so has committed a stance violation and receives one penalty throw."
Finally! Thank you!
Man I was rooting hard for John E. Tough the way it turned out, so close to winning it. Great show John E., you make us "old"guys proud!
Holy shit...the pressure. Watching 17 was agonizing.
What a finish!
foot falt?
Be honest, did SpinTV prevent you from covering the full final round? If so, I would be mad, because you would have had it uploaded for about a week now, and they still have not posted anything.
My Nam Truthfully, I don't know who was calling the shots that led to the switching between cards. Regardless, it won't happen again. I can promise you that.
McFlySoHigh Video I appreciate you and your work so much. Thank you.
congrats to will. he is a great champion! great sportsman!
wtf? so the video is missing 13 holes? W T F?!
Johne McCray your the man. Keep fighting
Keith Spieker does he still love the lord?
Wow. Way to go Will. After missing the first two match putts too. Crazy ending for Paul to miss his.
Did you edit down the volume when McCray was expressing his faith after the third miss on 17?
NO.
I'm glad. That was a real, honest moment.
Mark Ross The only time I've been moved to tears in the editing room, all year.
The definition of first world problems… I got here too soon and the quality hasnt finished rendering yet :(
what does the winner get for this
SeanSauceTV cash moneys

holy shit that was exciting! im sad for mcray though;(
yo.... whats with will schusterick's neck.....freal?
I believe those are old poison oak scars. He must have had a severe allergic reaction to it as a kid, and never recovered. It's pretty rare to see scars that bad, that look like they essentially needed a skin graft.
Watching this in 2022 thinking what could Will have done in today's pdga had he not had to deal with injuries coming into his prime. Also hoping eagle doesn't suffer the same fate
Proud of our local boy!
So happy Will won that!
god JohnE, the whole disc golf world needs to know: WHY DIDNT YOU LAY UP?!?!?!?!?!
He even could have laid up after his first OB re tee and still won.... that was painful to watch.
He could've also played less aggressively in the playoff. He was tied with them in the end. There's no need in running at the basket for a 250 ft Eagle.
iStrife are you talking about his second shot? Thats pretty much the exact line everyone uses in that spot, just poorly executed. If you go under that branch you're fading down to the pin and probably looking at an inside the circle putt for birdie barring an unlucky roll. Paul had the same problem he did, but stayed inbounds. Will had a shorter and easier shot, but line is virtually the same, just easier to place because of more distance and perfect placement off the tee. If you were out there and spent any time watching on 18 you'd see every pro go for that exact second shot for the whole tournement. I don't know of anyone intentionally laying it out right, because then you would be either looking at one of the worst death putts on the planet earth or taking a crappy 30-60 foot layup for par. You want to fade down to the pin so you can putt even or below the pin, eliminating the death putt and reducing the odds of carding a stupid high score.
I think his problem in the playoffs was poor shot execution, not poor shot selection.
Peter mercil No, I meant John E's drive off the pad. Sure he got that booming drive when he played it the first time, but sometimes you gotta play safer; especially when you're in a 3 way playoff against 2 great disc golfers.
I do get what you're saying about the second shot though.
he didnt lay up... but still loves jesus
correction... he still loves the lord lmao
Congrats to the back of Will's neck!
What the fuck did i just watch?
Wow, I'm so high
Mad respect for McCray. After he went ob multiple hands, he still loves the lord. But actually, what is on wills neck?
Jesse i dont think the lord cares about disc golf
Shoestrings again
First off.....congrats to Will, great win!! Secondly, I guess Paul McBeth is human after all, man did I see him miss a lot of putts that you normally think are automatic with him (must of been the blue putter's fault). And lastly, I am confused.....what is this talk of John E laying up??? What lay up? It's an island green.....right? Everything else is O.B. ....right? The only thing I can think of is to take your drive more towards the right of the green, which might have more room than trying to park the hole, I guess. Anyway, feel real bad for McCray......would have LOVED to have seen him win this.......
There is a lay up zone just off the tee pad. I'm not sure of the distance, but you can basically jump putt it off the tee just short of the red rope and the island shot becomes shorter and much easier from what I've seen. On touch shots like that even 60 to 80 feet would make a huge difference.
Jimbo Slice Looking at the video again it appear you have some room to the left allowing for a much wider hyzer shot into the green for the lay up.
Jimbo Slice --Okay, I see the red rope in front of the tee. I didn't see anyone actually throw the hole that way, though. I suppose with a 4 shot lead that would have been a wise decision. Thanks for clearing that up for me.....
jeffthrow6892 I never saw any of the pros throw the layup, but the Performance flight guys were laying that shot up all week, especially when it was in the saturday pin placement (left, narrow side of green, other pin location its in the more open easier to hit right side of green).
The layup spot is about 100 feet, turning the hole into a pretty simple upshot. The smart play in that spot for JohnE is to take the layup, then throw the anhyzer to the significantly more open right side of the green and look at a 30-40 ft putt for par, the bogie doesn't matter if you miss in his position. The same idea applies even after his first throw went OB.
I think this is a case of not being able to modify your game based on situation, which is understandable to me. JohnE has been competing at a high level all year by playing really aggressively and going for everything. He also doesn't think or wait on the tee much, he just steps up and throws his shot immidiately. When you've done well with that approach all year long I'm sure its hard to step back and change your game, doing something outside of your usual strategy on the biggest stage you've ever played on.
i still love you jesus... lamo
lol @ 14:45............Sooo much concentration!
so weird watching this in 2020 and seeing Paul miss putts he could make blindfolded these days....
You can't blame McCray for going for the green. He was in the lead for a reason. It's just the way the cookie crumbles sometimes but he's a winner bc he plays with class. Unless your name is in the final 4 of major events I would slow my roll to calling him "prideful" and dumb for not laying up. Congrats to Will. He's had a so so year for him and it's a good win. Paul will keep doing what he does.
Funny watching this as someone outside the sport, it is hard to take it seriously, compared to other sports, even though there is no logical reason for this at all; no reason it differs or is any less serious than anything else.
that made no sense ...
Mike E Why is that? On the surface it looks like a joke sport, which I am sure other people think as a first impression, but its an unfair assumption based on popularity and cultural bias for other sports, or what sport is. Got it?
Mike E makes perfect sense
