Welcome everyone to the 2026 Bottle Lake Open. We're in Christ Church, New Zealand. This is the last event of the Tour Down Under, brought to you by Gothro, sponsored by MVP Disc Sports. I'm Sarah Hok here with Chandler Ray. >> Thank you so much for having me. I'm really excited to be here. We are at the Bottle Lake disc golf course this weekend and this course is a bruiser. We've got semi-open holes and then a lot of uh just chucking discs in the woods. It gets pretty tight in there. So, let's see how it goes for us today. >> Yeah, we're actually playing the same layout as the men here. So, you'll be able to kind of compare scores across things. First up, yours truly, Chandler Ray, sponsored by Infinite Discs. And who else you got this year? >> I've got Eevee 7 and uh the Castlass Folk. >> Sweet. Yeah, you've had a lot of good showings here and we're looking to get that win, huh? >> Oh, I hope so. We'll find out. >> Yeah, we also got plays out, >> right? Sophia Don Donicki from >> Donica. >> Donica. >> Donkey. Same thing. >> There's a lot of ways you can pronounce it. Uh, but she's like she's from Victoria, BC, and she's been playing really good. We'll see what she can do out there. >> We also have the one-time world champ, Sarah Hok herself, >> and she is out here chucking four hands around. Love to see it. The typical. And we also have Taylor Chosk. She is uh one of the farthest women on the planet. This girl rips. And we're so excited to watch her play today, even though we already did, but we'll pretend we didn't. Yeah. So, we were in this round. So, sometimes it's a little interesting to talk about yourself, but we're going to do our best. >> On to whole one. It's a par four, 607 ft. The first shot is a placement shot into this central area. And the next shot is a guarded green with Obie right behind it. And then some tree limbs that are pretty far, about 60 ft, players are going to want to maneuver under in order to get a park job for that birdie. And that's not the first time we'll be seeing that same. >> Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the first tea here at the 2026 MVP Discs Bottle Link Open. We are at the concluding event of the MVP discs two and under 2026 season and the Kiwi Summer Sun has finally showed its face here in the beautiful Oati Christ Church. We've got a great wooded layout here for our three rounds of action under the Christ Church Sun. And we've got a great FPO card about to kick things off. a Canadian and three Americans contest this event and it's going to be an absolute pearler to conclude the season. You are watching the two and under here on Gothro and now we welcome our players first. She's from Kingman, Arizona. She's made many a league card here at the MVP this tour down under this season and joins us on Pidgeikard today. Please give it up for Chandler Rise. I've got my uh Leopard 3 and a kind of a little bit of early release, but it ends up working out fine. >> Yeah, there is OB on that left side that does come into play a little bit, but she's perfectly safe. is the Queen of Canada from British Columbia and is a Canadian national champion. Also a one-time MVP this tour and under champion eclipsing the opening event of the 2025 tour and under season. Please put your hands together for Sophia Donica. Sophia lighting up a Thunderbird really close to that OB line. But we've got our lovely spotter out there giving us the green. >> Third of the team. She's from Cordwall, Idaho. Last event at the New Zealand Open, she carded the highest rated FBO round of 2026. Please put your hands together for MVP Disc's very own Sarah Hoken. >> All right, Sarah, what are you lining up here? >> This is a crave. >> She's craving it. >> I'm craving a good shot. Really? Cuz there's a lot of people watching and this is the first hole, so it gets a little bit nervy. >> Yeah, it was a little nervy for I think all of us on this one. >> We were also used to playing this hole in the wind and practice. It was windy every day and we got such a calm weather on this hole. So I think you see all of us kind of mess our shots a little bit, but that's perfectly good. Nice fairway hit. >> And rounding us out with round one FBO action at the 2026 MVP discs Bottle Lake Open. She's from Oregon and joins us on the tour and under two years in a row. Please put your hands together for Taylor Chosk. And we're going to see Taylor throw her wasp off the tea here. So placement shot with a stable mid. It's really nice to be able to disc down to get the right placement in holes like these. She just rips on it. >> That's pretty ideal. >> Bottle. >> And what are you throwing now? Going back to the crave, I'm looking. Yeah, I'm looking to shape it through that gap and I throw almost just as bad of a shot and but I do think >> not worse, but it's it comes out. >> I get lucky on those trees. It those trees are >> trees love you. Actually, I think >> they're not OB, but um a shot from inside of there. >> Absolutely. Jail. >> Yeah, is really tough. >> And I'm just throwing my putting putter actually. I didn't have a line through the gap, so I'm just trying to go over and get it to kind of hold straight towards the basket and hoping it gets through the branches. But it kind of sneaks under them. >> Yeah. >> Look at a birdie. >> It's great position. >> The plan worked out. >> And Taylor's going to be approaching this with zone. You'll see her throw this a lot. I like the height. She's really got to smooth it underneath there. But you might have needed to disc up at that point. >> Yeah, that or get it to slide on the dirt more. It's kind of a good play. Keep it low so you don't risk going. It'll be long, but you don't want to leave it too short. And then Sophia was inbounds and she's just going for the spikeheiser. Um she kind of clips that tree unfortunately. >> Yeah. So she'll be back in those little trees with a I'm lining up a tempo here to approach the pin. >> And it's an absolute dime, >> man. I'm stoked to throw really two bad shots and then still have a a tap in for par. >> Yeah, it's awesome. Then here's Sophia with her approach. Don't see a ton of sidearms out of Sophia, but this is a really skilled approach. She's only got about 15 ft left. >> Yeah, she didn't have much room in there, but she luckily had enough open space. >> Nice approach there. Just just outside the bullseye for the par. And here's a birdie. Look. >> Just a little bit short on that one. >> Oh, good run though. >> Yeah, decent run. >> Nice to even have a look compared to the rest of the card. >> Yeah, we all par though. >> Yeah. Well, we'll see. Oh, I forgot. They don't know that yet. >> Spoiler. >> They're all tapped. >> Spoiler. Sophia maybe. >> Can't count these out. >> I mean, >> I've seen them. I've seen them missed. >> Just being hopeful. >> I mean, I could have missed that. >> I mean, I guess >> I really could have. I'm capable. >> All right. So, a bunch of pars to start, which is pretty much what the division did. No birdies on this one on the first round. And hole two, we have a little tunnel shot out the gap. There's a mando up here on the right. So, you have to go down through the gap before it dog legs. And then you've got another probably about 300 ft to the pin from there. Just kind of maybe turnover shot or forehand shape. Uh, this one plays a little bit hard for us. And I'll start us off with the Leopard 3. Again, I just feel like I have some good control with this disc. So, It's right down the middle >> pushing the upper tree line. But then you got a great fade. That's a great spot. >> Just like I drew it up. >> Sophia is going back to that Thunderbird as well as she threw the first hole with pushing the right side a little bit, but it gets through. >> Good skip as well. >> Right next to yours. >> Yep. I'm going to do the sidearm thing with a crave. >> Crave again. We've got a trend here. >> That's about as best I can do off the tea on this one. Not going to get into position to birdie, but I'm going to be working for that par. >> And Taylor's going with a raptor. >> So overstable nine-speed, a testament to her power. She kind of pushed the tree in a little bit too, but she's in the same spot with me and Sof, so it works out for everybody. I'm going to pitch around the corner. This is a vanish. And it kind of catches that edge and drops me straight down into the pine, which is a terrible spot. >> Yeah, you're in the thick of it there. Um, I'm going with the cloud breaker here for trying a forehand approach. I don't know what that was, but it wasn't what I was trying to do. >> Well, what it is is safe, and that's all that matters. >> It didn't look safe, but I somehow rolled back in bounds. So, >> the disc gods are with you. >> And Taylor's going to go for the same shot, but do it 10 times better. >> This is a nuke OS. You can see the OS in that in that fade, but she's got to look for birdie. And then Sophia is going to forehand her destroyer up there. And she's kind of coming up short, but that'll be okay. It'll be a good look to get up and down for a par. >> Yeah, no danger on the right other than the trees just kind of being in your way. Sarah knows that danger. She's showing us how to get out of it. >> That was a fision photon from a split stance where I'm just outside the circle with a death putt. That's what you want, right? >> No, I was I was kind of just being like, "Okay, we might just bogey this one." And that's okay. >> And another forehand from Sophia. >> I might have to take it back that she doesn't throw as many forehands because she's proving me wrong right now. >> Eating the words. And I'm pulling out a little Berg forehand approach. And clearly the forehand wasn't warm, but it's in the circle looking par. >> And of course in the Sarah fashion, she just cans the circle to a little jumper putt. >> Yeah, man. I'm working hard for these. Working hard. We're We're getting it though. >> That's how it goes out there. >> You really got to work for the pars. >> Great putt there, too. 28footer. Yeah, center chains. Taylor with a look for birdie. gets a little bit of the cage there. Like her timing was a little bit quick, but she's got a little bit maybe longer comeback or uphill. >> Oh, no problem though. Good recovery from everybody. Sophia's got this. What is it? 15footer. >> Oh yeah, there we go. It's a barbecue >> again. >> Also, nobody else in the field got this one either, so I guess we're doing all right. Hole three, it's a par three. 358 ft. OB on the left to a pyramid green. Little bit of drop off on that right. It's It's kind of at the It's a middle distance shot uh that I think most of the players on the on this card can get to. >> I'll be honest, I didn't know it was 358 ft until right now. I'm throwing a hex. >> Oh, look at this. >> But apparently I threw the hex 350 ft. So, >> and that's pretty good. I thought it was 330. >> Yeah, we're dealing with meters over here because New Zealand is the uses the uh what's the name of it? What kind of system they call that? >> I don't know. I want to get it wrong. >> Tell us in the comment comments. It's not the American measurement system. We sound like typical Americans right now. >> Oh goodness. All right, >> we have imperial and metric. I don't know which of the two is which. >> Sophia again. >> It's got to be metric. >> There it is. Metric. >> That's the word. Look at you. >> I didn't want to say it and I don't want to be wrong, but I think I'm right. >> It's okay to be wrong. >> That was a good forehand out there. >> Yeah, we're 60 ft away. It's a little bit out of my range. >> That's okay. >> Taylor's also going to go with that sidearm. This is a nuke OS. pretty wide on a just a dead hiser, >> but gets a C2 look in my head. I'm going to try to make this, but then it just comes up short. So, we're going to get a tap in. >> Yeah. Taylor commits to the tap in to the layup and tap in. Sophia with a birdie look >> also a layup. >> You think she was running that? >> I'm just being nice. >> Okay. Oh, all right. But even nicer is the birdie from 12 feet or so. >> I have no idea. >> On the board though, that's all that matters. One under par, taking an early lead on the on the lead card is Chowder, known as Chandler Ray is her real name. I don't know if you all know that. Did we Did we introduce you as Chowder yet? >> I don't think so, but I'm Chowder. >> She's got a cool nickname, guys. All right, hole four. We have a par five that kind of horseshoes around this Mando up here. Um, you kind of want a placement shot off the tea right about around here. And then you're just shooting into the trees. Kind of poke and hopeish, but there is some gaps if you find them. Um, it's pretty birdie bowlable. It's maybe even eagleable if you've got the right shot, but it also has some teeth. And I'm going to go with an origin off the tea. I'm attempting to kind of give it some height and let it turn over, but I let it go a little low. But it'll end up in just a fine spot. >> Yep. out on the fairway. The ideal spot is maybe deeper left. You have more access to that mando and the rest of the fairway, but it's kind of hard to get there. Sophia giving us a look at her J. She's throwing that all the way up there on that left side. I don't know if she has a look over there, but I like the distance and the placement for the second shot. I'm throwing a crave again. >> Another crave. It's the same crave, but >> Oh, okay. >> I have like four of them in my bag, though. So, >> well, you throw it well. >> It's just point and shoot, man. Makes it easy. >> Thing gets a little bit too much ground play, but it'll be a little bit pinched. >> Yeah, I disced down in order to try to get less fade, and it faded just as much as my distance driver. So, >> yeah, that was kind of rude. Taylor going with a buzz a little bit low right side, but we're all in bounds. It's just a matter of how we're going to navigate this difficult Mando on the second. >> And I'm taking my Raptor just attempting to shoot his gap forehand and let it skip. >> Of course, it hits a tree, but there's a lot of those in the way. Taylor taking a similar approach. Captain's Raptor. >> She gets the nice skip. >> I'm going to try a cut roller. This is a really overstable cosmic photon. >> I really like this play. This is fun. >> It shapes the fairway good, but it goes OB. >> Never quite stands up enough. >> Yeah. I don't really want it to stand up. I think I need just throw it a little bit farther left and wider and it will work. I'm going to try it tomorrow. We'll see. >> Yeah, I like it. She goes a little bit wide with that, but gets a little kick back towards the right direction. >> Nobody's really in good position here. There's the fairways a little bit farther to the left and forward. So, we're all kind of trying to find a lane and Early early hit there leaves her inbound still, so she can still get a power save. And >> I caught a little low hanging branch there. It was Who put that there? It was right in the way. >> Sophia also looking at small lanes. She kind of catches that left side, >> but forward progress. There's still par possibilities in in her future. >> We like forward progress on this hole. >> Yeah. So, Taylor was right on that line, but didn't end up being OB, so she took relief. Now, she's trying to get it up there. More trees, but that's a putt. >> It might have kept her closer to the basket than it would have been, so I like it. Got a tiny gap that I'm trying to hit. This is a really old electron matrix. >> But you laced the gap. >> A little too good. >> Yeah, a little too good. >> 50footer from the backside. >> We can say it was fully committed though. >> True story. >> We like to see that. >> Worst ways is to miss things. >> Oh yeah. I'm just throwing my raptor softly trying to practice some distance control with it. Just knowing that it's going to get left enough versus anything else that I would have. So, it ends up working out pretty good for me. >> That's a look. Sophia also just trying to pitch up. Could put it close to try to tap in a par. And that'll work. This is a long look to try to save par. It >> was a good bed. Little short. She catches the bottom cage. Sophia trying to get this par from a similar distance as Taylor. Santa chains. That's a great putt. Her putt's been looking really good. >> Yeah, it has. >> And you have a similar putt here to match. Oh yeah, man. A hole that we all It's kind of a soft par. So, it's kind of sad that me and Taylor are tapping out some bogeies here, but that's just that's golf. Couple other birdies on this hole. We had both Al Allison, Tweety, and Molly got it.

It's a par three, only 243 ft, but the fairway is tight. OB on the right to an elevated basket. And there's a hazard right behind it. So, players are going to have to lace a fairway and then make a decision. How much do you want this putt? I'll be starting this off here with a Berg. You could have guessed that. But anything under 250 and it's just a berg every time. I love those things. >> Get a little bit of tree play, but you got to look. >> Yeah, Sophia is coming at us with an AVR3. >> She hits that gap beautifully. Oh, we can't see it from here, but she got a little bit of weird ground play and ended up towards the right side. She'll have a decision to make. I'm going to take the unfair way, which is this tiny little gap on the left, but it's a hiser for me, so it's what works for the lefty line. >> I love watching you do that. It's a little short, so I'll be laying up a tricky putt. And then Taylor going with none other than her zone. She kind of lets that go early and gets a crazy skip up towards the basket. >> Yeah, that's the second time she's kind of throwing a little earlier uh lower than she wanted. See if she can get that height dialed in. >> It's kind of easy to make that mistake when all of these holes have the low hanging branches. They kind of get in your head a little bit. >> And not the worst play with the pine needles on the ground. You get some pretty good play. >> Yeah. And Sophia is just going to chain out left, but that stays out of the hazard. >> It's a good spot to putt from over there because you don't have the hazard like right behind you like you do. >> Were you considering laying this up? >> I was for a second, but I decided to run it. >> All right. And I think we missed Taylor laying this up, but she just decided to lay up her putt. So, you see her her down by the basket there. >> Great birdie. Two out of five holes to start. That's amazing, Chowder. We also saw some birdies uh from a couple other ladies in the field. Allison Tweety got us two in a row for Allison. And then G got this one. Oh, let's go G. >> And so did Haley Flintto, the local New Zealand legend. That one's a good get with that putt. But we're on a hole six. This is a par4. We've got kind of a skinny gap off the tee. You're trying to land somewhere around here if you can or a little bit farther and miss that kind of straight wall of trees. And then your upshot is coming in. Uh there's a couple of gaps you can pick, but maybe you want to come in on a hiser skip towards the basket because we do have OB directly behind it. Who would have guessed? >> There's a there's a lot of OB out here. >> Lots of OB right behind the baskets. Makes the putts all pretty tricky. And I'll be going with my uh zone off the tea here. Just trying to get it to come in front of that wall. And it works out great and gets a little slide up on the pine needles. Center cut. That'll be ready for a birdie look on that second shot. Sophia going with her Eagle L. This is her signature disc. It gets some signature love >> right on the edge of the fairway. I'm going to go with a relay. It's not really a sidearm line, but we're going to throw a turnover. Makes the sidearm work beautifully. Straight center cut and Taylor's going with the zone as well. Gets a little early kick into the left side. Unfortunately, tough break there, but still forward progress. Playing for par at this point. Going with a matrix. There's a lot of options here. And I'm really not sure which one's going to work, but I'm trying the turnover. It almost makes it in front of that tree, but it's still not a bad spot to be. Definitely worst places you can be on this hole. And Sophia's just kind of hanging a Firebird out there, trying to skip in. Ends up a little bit short. This one's kind of hard to run from the spot we're in over there with that hiser line. And I'm going to try to do the same thing with my raptor. Just kind of send it a little bit softly. Hope it gets some ground play. Uh mine was a little short as well. >> So outside the circle putts with OB looming right behind, but they are birdie looks unlike Sophia or Ta Taylor and I who are approaching this green. That was a good touch from Taylor. >> This is my favorite approach disc. a range. It just kind of dumps, you know? You got to just pop it out there and it's not going to go too far past Sophia with a look for birdie. >> She's a beast. >> That's a such a scary putt. >> I was surprised that she ran it, but she was center. Like her putt is looking real good. That's her first. >> I did not want to run mine until she did that, >> man. You can't Yeah, I can appreciate how it can sometimes change your mind. I gave it a little push putt bid instead just so I knew it would land short if I missed but >> smart little half bid kind of. >> Yeah, kind of a half bid. I'm still in bounds so that's what I like. >> Yeah, still going to tap in that par as will the the rest of us outside of Sophia. She made me look like a chump. Sophia getting the only birdie on that hole today. On to hole seven. It's a par five, 856 ft. It is pretty far. First shot want to land about here. And then we're going to navigate these next set of trees and try to land about here. And then you try to approach this green where you got to make a decision because there is a hazard bunker that is bigger than it looks. So the best shot is maybe to the left uh to lay up and try to make a putt for birdie. But this is a very demanding hole. Sophia goes with a wraith and she is actually inbounds over there. It's not great position, but she can try to still get a par from there. Maybe even a birdie. She's got enough distance. >> Yeah. And I'm going with the leopard three. Just trying to center cut that. Get it out the gap. Make sure it's in the fairway. >> Good shot. >> Yeah, the early part. So, we're actually teeing from out of bounds. So, if you hit really early, you have you have to go to the drop zone. I got to I'm throwing a crave. >> Oh, who would have guessed? >> I didn't really have a good shot here. Uh, but it gets lot it gets through the trees and I'm in the middle, so I can't complain. >> The trees love Sarah. >> I love them back. >> That's good. >> Taylor with a new OS. >> Again, a lot of lift. It looks like we were maybe missed a headwind that we all kind of didn't hear, didn't couldn't tell was happening out there. >> It did start getting a little bit breezy at this point. We didn't have much wind in the early holes, but we started catching some on these this little stretch here. >> Sophia with a Seoia placement shot. That's a great spot. >> There's the sidearm that she rarely throws again. >> I know. She's making me eat my words all day. That's fine. That's good. I love it. Love to see the range in people's games. >> Is that a crave? >> You know, it is. It sure is. >> I'm also playing a placement shot here because I was quite a bit further back than I would have liked. >> And I'm going with the hex. I'm just trying to play catch with Conrad because he was a little bit in the way. But >> I kind of wanted to try to go around that corner, but I think it's a little bit batty anyways. Maybe you don't really want to. I'm just making sure it's in the fairway. >> That's a great spot. Heck yeah. That was so cheesy. Thank you, >> Seoia again. So, it's an AGL brand disc and so Inova makes those so she gets to throw that as well. >> She is sponsored also by AL this season. >> That was a great shot by the way. This is an Athena. She's really looking to actually shape this and kind of doesn't it doesn't get the look. It doesn't get the flip up that she's looking for that from that seven speed. So, should we see how was out of bounds there? >> No, she got caught up in the tree and it kicked her in bounds. She was safe off of that. >> Was that a crane? >> No, >> that was a relay. Yeah, I didn't have much room. I was just trying to get forward push >> and Taylor's scramble kind of catches the trees on the other side, but it is safe again. Army golf out here. So, decision here. What are you thinking? >> Uh, I'm opting for the forehand. I'm trying to get it a little bit under those branches, but my thinking was if I hit the branches, I'm safe, and if I make it, I'm probably long. So, I was just going to send it. >> That makes sense to me. >> So, now I have just a layup for par, which is better than being in the bunker. >> This is a putter from Sophia. >> That was very well executed. That's a great play, >> especially where she was off the tee. That's a tough for par. This is a zone approach. Also, just 15 ft left to get that par. I'm trying to push this a little bit left. See if I can make a putt for birdie or par. And that'll work. You guys are all showing me up on those approaches and I'm going to try to give this kind of a a little bit of a run, but didn't quite get it over enough. But I'm happy. >> Yeah. I mean, you had the only real look at birdie right there. Another beautiful putt by Sophia. We're working for him, but we're getting them. Pars are good out here. Especially when you know whenever you're playing a gold layout, it's always pars are a great option. Yeah, this was a really hard fifth hardest hole on the course today. No birdies. Taylor manages the par as well. That's a lot of different ways to par this hole. And we're on to hole eight. This is a par4, 607 ft. Um, you want to get out there kind of as far as you can cuz you're going to be approaching into this kind of keyhole looking. It's not really an island, but it is kind of keyhole shape. There's a lot of trees to navigate here, and there's uh some tough options for approaching this basket. And Sophia's going to lead us off with her eagle L. She absolutely piped that. >> What a gorgeous shot. Full flex >> that is up there. >> That is her signature disc, folks. Uh they fly good. >> Yeah. And I'm going to go with my faulk here. What the fk was that? That was didn't quite turn enough. I left it a little nose up, but it is safe in bounds. Yeah, this one, this grain is pretty tough to attack. So, as long as you're just out there, you're probably not losing strokes. I'm going with a photon vision variety. It's pretty standard. It's >> all you can really ask for. >> And we're going to see Taylor with her Athena again. Looking for a big flip here. She kind of follows my line a little bit, but I think it was better. >> Yeah, just a little bit farther. Tough still to attack from that position. I'm laying up with a pyro. Yeah, there's several gaps that you can choose to try to approach the green. I'm choosing the one where I'll actually go over the out of bounds because I think the back gap is bigger. Whereas the keyhole gap is the inbound space, but is a smaller gap and it has trees at the end of it where you can have to navigate in order to actually have access to the green. Taylor's going to take the layup as well. >> So Sophia's in position to attack. >> She's got a firebird in her hands. So I think she's attacking. She's trying to get the skip over and gets denied. >> It was literally like one cimeter too low. >> That was going to be so good. >> That's really aggressive. >> I've got another Berg in my hand. And I'm trying to take the straight keyhole gap and kind of turn it over, but it comes out a little late and luckily was inbounds. >> Yeah, that lane is only about 15 ft wide um to be inbounds if you don't get all the way to the green. Very demanding approach. >> And Taylor will show us how to get through it. >> There it is. Hits that back ball. Little 20 foot comebacker. We'll give her a look at par. I'm throwing a tempo here. Trying to take this left side gap. And I shank it. >> But that goes in bounds. That was a little lucky. >> I don't think it deserved to be in bounds, but I'll take it. >> But you know the trees love you. We're seeing this over and over. >> They give it and they taketh. >> Rather be lucky than good sometimes. >> That's a nice cleanup. I'm left with not really much of a run, so I'm just laying up taking my medicine. I'll have the bogey. Same for me. Just trying to put it close >> with my range. >> Bird versus range. >> We might need to have a challenge. >> Maybe a distance challenge. >> No. No, it's not a distance disc. >> It is if it's in my hand. >> Upshot challenge. >> Yeah. I'll tap out the bogey. >> Yeah. So, Taylor made a beautiful putt there to get her par. The rest of us, not so much. >> Looking like jumps. >> Yeah, plane is the hardest hole. It's a full stroke overpar with absolutely zero birdies. So, this one is something we can all improve on tomorrow. On to hole nine. It's a par three, 266 feet. It is a tight gap. Obie on the left side. There is a wall to stop some extra distance shots. So, I'm sure that my cardmates will love that. But first, you got to hit the gap. So, I mean, this is kind of a a must get compared to what we've seen so far. And Taylor's going to lead us off with the Chalalley SS. It's a little bit close on that left side, but scoots right up there. That'll be an edge of circle putt. Sophia with an AVR3. That's the one tree you've got to miss. That's They put that right in the way. It's doing its job. >> And I've got a hex in my hand. I don't know where I was trying to throw it, but it was in my hand. >> And we got to the shortcut. >> No more comments. >> Uh, I'm going with a relay. I'm trying to throw it on a hiser and get it to flip up straight. >> I got the hiser part right. Somehow it goes through all those trees and I actually end up having to look outside the circle from the right rush brush. I'm just playing from the short pad now. And I would not have birdied from the short pad either. Hit the same tree that Sophia found. >> Long look. >> It really is right in the way. >> Beautiful shot. kind of gave it a little a little bid, but >> yeah, good recovery. Sophia with a long look. >> Wow, that was really good. She's over those baskets. She's all on top of them. I'm doing a little course work, but this tree branch is caught in the blackberry bushes. So, I I liked that release, but tapping par is fine with me. Oh, just splashes out left. Taylor had the best look at it. a bogey machine. >> Well, you had you had a couple to burn. >> Maybe I shouldn't have burned them. >> Well, we'll see. So, no birdies on our card, but Molly Ellis >> got the birdie on the on the other card. And that's your front nine, folks. Let's take a look. Couple even. I'm two over. Taylor's just one over. Me and Taylor haven't got a birdie yet. So, I'm hoping we can find some on the back. Well, they're definitely out there for you. Let's take a look at the leaderboard. Look at that. Allison Tweety under par by two strokes. Wow. Well, folks, we got a we have a great battle on our hands. We'll see you guys on the back. Join us for the back back nine of the first round to see what happens. It's going to be a battle.
