End Credits

dramatic horror sting ...anyway, here's your finale scorecard. 🎬

The Credits Roll on Four Survivors 🎬

The "End Credits" episode of Final Girl @ The Fort delivered exactly what it promised: dawn breaking over a skeleton crew of survivors who made it through the season-long horror gauntlet. With temperatures holding steady in the mid-40s and minimal wind, four brave souls showed up to The Fort Buenaventura for the finale—and what a finale it was. Kent Moos launched a 659-foot ace on hole 18 to claim $714, while Malachi Vazquez defended his Fear Broker throne with a dominant -8 round. The real horror? I'm still stuck narrating this, but at least the survivors made it worth watching. 💀

The Architect of Dread Builds a Masterpiece

Malachi Vazquez stood alone in MPO and built a masterpiece worthy of his Fear Broker persona, carding a -8 round that rated 993—a full 35 points above his 958 rating. His psychological warfare on the course included eagles on both hole 12 (425ft par 4) and hole 18 (659ft par 4), plus a spotless front nine with zero bogeys. The back nine was where mere mortals might falter, but the architect of atmospheric dread simply shifted his construction methods, posting birdies on holes 7, 11, and 15 while maintaining his stranglehold on tag #1. Wire-to-wire dominance when you're the only competitor? That's not horror—that's just good business. 🏗️

The Final Girl Was Actually a Guy Named Kent

Kent Moos claimed the MA1 crown with a -2 performance that rated 937, posting 25 points above his 912 rating for a personal best on this layout. His wire-to-wire victory as the division's sole survivor included steady play through 17 holes, but hole 18 was where legends are born. The front nine was five strokes better than his back nine struggle, but that "clutch birdie finish" turned out to be something far more spectacular. Sometimes the best Final Girl energy comes from the most unexpected places, and Kent proved that survival skills transcend gender tropes in the grindhouse universe. 🎯

Sometimes the Horror Is Your Own Scorecard

Brian Hansen won MP40 at +2, but his 899-rated round sat 34 points below his 933 rating—proof that The Fort's championship layout doesn't care about your credentials. The real terror unfolded on hole 9 where he posted +2, but like any good horror survivor, he bounced back with a birdie on hole 10. His front nine outpaced the back by five strokes, and he sealed the deal with a clutch birdie on hole 18. Wire-to-wire victory as the division's lone wolf? Sometimes finishing is more important than flourishing, and Brian's +2 earned every stroke of that crown. ⚡

The Fort Claims Another Victim (Scorecard Edition)

Stephen Dunton survived MA3 with a +11 finish that rated 815, sitting 25 points below his 840 rating—but hey, it was still a personal best for this championship course. The Fort's technical demands showed no mercy, with Stephen taking +2 on the killer hole 9 before recovering with a birdie on hole 10. His front nine was four strokes better than the back nine collapse, ending a six-hole cold streak after that hole 9 disaster. Wire-to-wire as the division's sole competitor, Stephen learned that championship courses demand respect regardless of skill level. 🏰

Holy Shot Adjacent: Kent's 659ft Mic Drop

The night belonged to Kent Moos' historic 659-foot ace on hole 18—the same par 4 where James Conrad hit the "Holy Shot" at 2021 Worlds. Let that distance sink in: 659 feet on a par 4, chains singing that sweet metallic song of perfection. Meanwhile, the universal struggle was real as all four players posted significantly better front nines (4-5 strokes better), with hole 9 emerging as the true villain, claiming +2 from both Brian and Stephen before they recovered with hole 10 birdies. Malachi posted double eagles on holes 12 and 18, because apparently one eagle wasn't enough psychological warfare for the Fear Broker. 🎯

Post-Credits Scene: Fear Broker Still Employed

Malachi Vazquez defended Fear Broker #1 with the ruthless efficiency of someone who truly understands psychological manipulation. His -8 masterpiece embodied everything the tag represents: operating as "the architect of atmospheric dread" while orchestrating conditions where terror flourishes. That vintage leather satchel of psychological triggers must have been working overtime, because his unsettling intensity translated into surgical precision on every hole that mattered. The tag number stays at 1—defended, not surrendered—and the reign of terror continues past the final credits. In the best horror tradition, the post-credits scene hints that the real horror isn't truly over. 👁️

The Ace Pot Knew Something We Didn't

Kent Moos claimed the $714 ace pot with that legendary 659-foot throw-in on hole 18, proving that sometimes the chains really do know something we don't. The $1,000 Super Ace on hole 16 survived another round after Kent posted +1 there, meaning that massive payday lives to haunt another season. But let's be real—659 feet on a par 4 is the kind of shot that makes grown disc golfers weep with joy and jealousy in equal measure. The same hole where Conrad made history in 2021 just witnessed another moment for the ages, and Kent walked away with a very nice chunk of change to show for it. 💰

Skins: The Horror Sequel Nobody Filmed

No skins action to report from this intimate finale, which feels like a missed opportunity for some extra financial drama among our four survivors. The skeleton crew focused on the main event, but future cards looking to add some bite to their rounds can always learn how to set up skins and create their own mini-horror stories with every hole. 🎭

Dawn Breaks, $4 Raised, Horror Continues

The "End Credits" episode delivered on its promise: four final survivors completing their ordeal at The Fort, forever changed by the championship-level gauntlet they endured. From the original 20 unsuspecting players in "Cold Open" to this intimate finale, the survival narrative played out exactly as scripted. This round contributed $4 to The Fort Course Fund (our four survivors' automatic contributions), bringing the total to $54 of the $1,000 goal—5% funded for the championship course that hosted 2021 Worlds and continues to demand respect from every player who steps to its tees. 🌅

Thanks for Surviving, See You in the Reboot

Ten weeks of grindhouse horror at The Fort comes to a close, but like any good B-movie franchise, the ending is really just a setup for the sequel. Thanks to Malachi, Kent, Brian, and Stephen for showing up to write the final chapter—your dedication to the craft made this finale worth watching. Kent's 659-foot ace and Malachi's Fear Broker dominance will echo through The Fort's cottonwoods long after these credits stop rolling. The horror isn't truly over, it's just waiting for the next season to begin. Until then, keep your discs sharp and your scorecards sharper. 🎬
