ESPN’s SportsCenter aired an entire highlight package Monday night of Paul McBeth’s insane 18-under round at the Great Lakes Open in a dedicated segment.
Of course, that means disc golf fans and the uninitiated sports fanatics alike were treated to a primetime spotlight. Here’s a sample of their reactions:
Professional disc golfer Paul McBeth finishes with 40 under par over three days to win the Great Lakes Open. These are the sports I need my @sportscenter to cover — and they did tonight. pic.twitter.com/XmeVDcyAnL

Tonight @sportscenter ran a highlight of frisbee golf about a man named MacBeth. @Buccigross made an epic highlight read quoting Shakespeare throughout. Legendary.

Listening to @Buccigross quote #Macbeth while showing @Paul_McBeth play disc golf on #ESPN was magical.

I could listen to @Buccigross do disc golf highlights FOREVER! @espn #Macbeth

Sportscenter gave a full highlight package to a disc golf tourney and I am quite literally in tears. I know that's weird, I don't care.

Kinda confused why frisbee golf is on ESPN but I can't stop watching it

Love the Frisbee Golf highlight from Neil Everett on @SportsCenter especially for showing off the local knowledge by mentioning the @HBSurfCityUSA course

Normally when ESPN covers sports like cornhole and hot dog eating, it’s silly, but I was really into those disc golf highlights. I’m all in.

Disc golf on sportcenter would be miles more entertaining than the 24/7 “Is Lebron better than MJ” and “What will Lavar Ball say next?” coverage. Plus, that means you can watch an actual SPORT on SPORTScenter, a concept that has seemed to have been lost to time.

I cannot believe I just saw two minutes of disc golf highlights on ESPN.

Wait. When did Sportscenter start showing frisbee golf highlights?

Am I really watching frisbee golf highlights on Sportcenter?

Does he get a green windbreaker?

Most don’t appreciate the amount of skill this takes

Disc golf is one of the most entertaining sports to watch. Skill the top players have his unreal. It’s just so hard to film. Glad Sportscenter is realizing the future.

You think this is the first time I saw this, my man?! Brother, I watched the whole tournament – you can, too: https://t.co/vK61NXcy32
BTW, it's being called "The Greatest Round of Disc Golf Ever Played." You feel the itch to throw some plastic, yet? LMK …

If you remember when @espn was first launched, they probably would have broadcasted the entire event in between Australian rules football and World's strongest man.

who would have thought a sport we used to play in our backyard and then the schoolyard would be on @SportsCenter
— CJ Papa (@cjpapa13) July 10, 2018
Darren i really like you right now. Disc Golf is the best kept secret out there.

TBH both Disc Golf & Ultimate Frisbee get no where near the kind of exposure they deserve for being two of the fastest growing sports in the world!
— 360WitADiscBro (@Shotime707) July 10, 2018
It’d be much more interesting to watch this in the morning than Get Up!
— Adam Richardson (@AdamR0923) July 10, 2018
Disc golf > golfing 🏌️♀️

Wait sportscenter knows there is sports outside of the nba and nfl?

So it should make sense to add disc golf, a sport growing insanely fast, to the programming especially in the dog days of summer when the only big sport playing is baseball.
— Josh Gindt (@Gindtis) July 10, 2018
your freakin kidding me. I rule at disc golf! I'll be announcing where I'll be taking my talents as soon as I figure out how to turn pro. Stay tuned for my commitment video.

So @SportsCenter did a highlight tonight about a frisbee golf player named McBeth, so naturally they used Macbeth quotes to go along with the highlights. Amazing.
— Randall J Flack (@randall_jflack) July 10, 2018
Huzzah to the @SportsCenter anchor who dropped a ton of quotes from the Scottish play during a segment on a disc golfer (!) named McBeth.
