Hello and welcome to the back nine of round one of the 2026 played against sports Jonesboro Open presented by Westside Discs. We at the disc side of heaven. It's our fourth stop on the Pro Tour Elite Series. I'm Erikica Stinchcom. I'm Madison Walker. We're your two hockey honk. We are watching some windy conditions out here. We took a gap year. We're back at Jonesboro after it was an A tier last year. Last time we were here was two years ago. It's our ninth year here overall though, which is crazy. And the course is looking better than ever. Colin Hanley doing the best on our feature card at two down. Taylor Chosk leading the field at five. Got a few fours uh and twos and ones. Not not the crazy hot scores we would see if it was calm conditions, that's for sure. Hold 10 818 ft. It is the par five that we're used to seeing as we come down the stretch for the win. The final hole of the day. Uh this is such a cool hole. It really it's unlike any hole we play in the rest of tour. Uh it's out of bounds all the way down the left side and on the second half of the right side. The T-OT is a little bit scary because that OB does come into play so quickly. Even if you hit the gap perfectly, if you're on the wrong angle, you are sailing OB over that left side fence. You really want to place this shot nicely. Henna coming out early and getting a really favorable little tree kick to the perfect landing zone. >> I feel like that used to be the perfect landing zone, but now we're seeing ladies get so far on this. It's crazy. It's so fun to watch Katrina. Anything past that steak is >> Wow. >> So good. >> That is crushed. This used to be a decision of which side you were going. Ha didn't make the decision. She's kind of going up the middle. Maybe that was is a bad play. There's gaps. I Oh, they did bring in the right side OB pretty tight on the green this year. I can't remember if it's exactly like that, but I think it's tighter. >> Katrina with a really well-managed forehand. Perfect distance. It's sets her up for a wide open third shot to the green. Still not easy, especially look at this wind. >> Mhm. Yeah. messing around with that disc. And that's a nice little stand still putting herself inside the circle. Still has to make a tester. Hannah's third. You want to make sure you don't come in short left on the screen. There's a low hanging tree branch that comes into play. And then of course, look how close that out of bounds is on the right side. Hannah looking like she's going to get four in a row. Ooh. Ooh. Big putt from Katrina. Huge putt. Moves her to two down. >> Oh no, I'm unprepared for birds. It's the first time I've ever heard you say that. >> Well, think about it. Hannah's got a regional bird. >> I feel like I'm going to do um a kite. I'm going to do a Mississippi kite. >> Love that. >> Mhm. Because it's so windy. >> Because we're in Arkansas. >> Yeah. >> It makes perfect sense. >> Uhhuh. Colin, keeping it low. A good play here just to make sure you're inbounds. Cat gonna show us the hiser it looks like which I think used to be a more popular play but Oh no she's not. I swear she was lining that up for a second >> turning shot. Cool. >> Yeah, we watched her do that in years prior. >> Mhm. >> But nice correction. >> We're here a little later than we've ever been. So everything has grown in just a bit more than we've seen. So that hiser play isn't quite as good this year. Haiti also working the turn. A good play. Making sure it's safe. Oh, here's a big shot. Sheesh. Look how far she is past the stake. >> That is insane. I thought Katrina shot >> That's what I'm so far. >> That's what I'm saying, dude. I was playing with Taylor and Analy and just like some of the shots they were doing. I swear I couldn't keep my mouth from just like hanging open. I was like, "What is this?" >> They do both so far. >> This is crazy. And then neither of them react at all to it and I'm like, "Yeah, they expect better." >> It's normal. >> Holland is hitting some trees on the right side and I mean left side and still getting really far to a nice landing zone. Cat taking the right side and I think that side is so scary. Yeah, especially as they move the OB in more and more. >> And she does it well though. >> She got it to the disc to break at the perfect moment to get around that corner. Awesome shot. >> Katie really tucked on the right side. Still going to try to Oh, no. She's a little earlier than she wants, but that's fine. >> Uh with her standstill shot making ability, I think she'll be able to still get up and down from there even. >> I think four years ago, the right side was absolutely the play. Um four plus like >> Mhm. And now they as they tighten it, I think we're seeing more and more ladies take this left side >> or even kind of crush up the middle. >> Yeah, exactly. Holland throwing three. She can see the pin. Leaves it just inside the circle, but I think taking that branch out of play at least Katie has room to swing. Just barely enough room. >> Oh, wow. What a shot. Is she like right in those branches? I can't quite tell, >> dude. One time today, I had a branch that just kept swinging in and out of like my I couldn't time it cuz it was like a pendulum. It was crazy. >> I feel like that's what this one's doing. >> Silva on the high side of the green. I think she got past the branch. >> Looks like cat very far. This is the advantage of the right side because it's less sloped. Um it feels a little bit easier to get there, but you can see how close she was to OB. Holland for another birdie. Oh, she is locked in. >> Yeah, she's on one. The putt is looking solid. I know she was a little probably a little upset on how many putts she missed at the beginning of last weekend. You can tell she hit the practice screen. She turned it up the second half of the weekend and it is looking great today. Silva also hitting a nice big putt downhill. A scary one. Haiti looking to get under par. Little high on that one. She's so close to putting it all together here today. Cat in for another birdie bringing her under par I think for the first time. Mhm. This is the one I ate some Maple Hill with right there in the picture. What up everyone? Mattio here. I want y'all to check out something with me real quick. Something uh I don't think it's gotten enough attention. The widest selection in Westside history is available now. Westside.com. Get them while they're hot. Let's go, baby. Hole 11 is a par 3 385 ft. This used to be hole one. It plays the same as we've seen in years past. It's reachable, but boy is it a crush. You kind of need to throw up and over this hill. The main problem I would say is the deep right side rough. Especially today, it the wind was like coming towards you and then coming up the hill and then kind of pushing the discs to the right if you had any turn on them. At least when I came through. Um, this one it's kind of a bonus birdie I think for most of the field, but the power players are definitely thinking they're going to get one here. Wow, Macy puts a move on this disc. >> Go in. >> Okay, I would say like even the best the farthest throwers, it's hard to get inside the circle on this one. Macy doesn't need to though. >> Yes. >> Give it to her. >> That's so awesome. >> What wind? She's stoked. fallen with the force. Something a little overstable >> to fight that right fin or that right push that the wind is giving. >> It feels like a at least when I came through, it feels like a headwind off the tea. >> And you could see that thing flip up. She's pin high left. Little hiser flip from Cat. Good distance. She's going to be a little bit short left though. Pretty deep in circle, too. Yeah, nice conservative play on this hole. >> This looks nice. >> Sila's so good at these shots where you kind of ride the rough the whole way on the side that you're worried about. It's like she trusts her disc so much. >> So good. >> So straight. You rarely see a park job on this one. >> And that's so much power. 385. It is slightly downhill, but with this wind, the angle control has to be absolutely perfect. >> Oh man, she even smiled slightly, so you know it's good. >> Uh, Silva, let's see. One of only seven players inside the circle. >> Wow. >> And one of only two players to park this hole. >> Haiti with some good power, but a very stable disc. Going to find herself in a pretty typical circle 2 landing zone. Cat up first almost 50 feet away. Looks good. >> That was good. >> Haiti missing just high again. She wants it. >> Yeah, she's close on a lot of these. Colin, she's been draining these all day long. Misses this one, though. Oh, Katie just a bit off today. But that's kind of the first like so such a minuscule amount off. Yeah, >> it's so close. >> I feel like that's the first one that really kind of cost her. >> Mhm. And moving along into what I consider the wind windiest part of the course usually, but how was it today with the wind on this the next few holes? >> Bad. >> Bad. Uh this T-shot on hole 12 is so small. Uh you have to throw out through this tight hallway to a fairway that is blind to you from the teapad. That stake is a mark of a pretty good shot. You will see some competitors pushing farther uh letting their disc finish more left or even pushing further straight into that more rough area in the middle. Your second shot is sometimes blind up this hill. The basket is in a little flat area, pushed backwards away from the top of the hill. Um very difficult to reach and also park it. You see a ton of shots around the edge of circle one. Hannah taking the right side with a big shot. There's that post Madison mentioned and she's well past it. I will say this the tunnel has grown in so much more than I've ever seen before. It's >> lush out there. >> It's harder than ever to hit. >> Wow. >> Henna making some nice work of this one though. >> That's to move to six down. >> Starting to light it up. Yeah, I literally walked up to this in practice and went, "Nope." And I saw more people take this left side than I've ever seen. >> Oh, really? >> Yeah, it is. It is so small. >> That sila squeaking through. >> Yeah, you just There's stuff growing off the branch straight up. It's pretty crazy looking. It's a lot higher of a gap than normal as well. >> Exactly. Yeah. Hard to get that little bit of extra distance without kind of pushing it. >> That is so good from Holland. >> Really is. That's so far. Chasing the cameraman and cat going to be early but actually could be a lot worse than that. >> Yeah, that was a very friendly kick. >> Henna leading the way. We just saw her move to six down on this hole. Taylor Chosk at five down. Uh she did unfortunately have a lost disc on this one. She threw it so high that we just lost it and there's no spotter. So, she did have to rete. Oh, >> that's a bummer. >> Yeah. Haiti with a great shot. Similar to where we saw Hannah land. >> Cat having to throw a right finishing shot up this hill. She puts a move on it. >> Yeah, she does. Does >> she catch a branch or >> I can't I can't quite tell. She's right at the crest of the hill, which means she's what, 80 ft away? >> Yeah, about that. Silva throwing blind up to the screen. >> Wow. >> Yeah, >> that's so good. >> Just perfect angle control and speed control. And Haiti rewarded with a little bit easier shot. Um, a little bit more open on the right side, which she does try to take. She swings it a bit wider than she wants, but >> nice. >> It's going to work great. >> Mhm. Yeah, that little bit of extra distance off the tea really opens up that hiser line nicely. Holland leaves that one just a hair short. She'll have to earn it from circle's edge like she's been doing all day long. I >> feel like Cat's trying to throw these in. >> Always, dude. >> Always got a little away from me. Putter's cooling down a little bit. >> A little windy. >> She's looking at the wind. >> Yeah. It's crazy how under these big trees how scary it can sound. >> It's not even that bad, but you're just like, whoa, whoa. Nice comeback putt from Cat Merch. And a nice bounce back after that. Uh, bogey from Haiti gets back to even part. >> Yeah, well played hole. >> Mhm. >> Oh, Silva with three in a row. Haiti and Silva, two of 10 birdies on hole 12 today. Hole 13 of par 3 310 ft definitely feels farther with the uphill. It is an elevated pin, so the putting can be a little bit difficult as well, but it is nice and open. The only thing you can't do is out to the left too early. There is OB over there. I think it might be a barb wire fence as well. Any barb wire gets 2 m of relief out here on this property for the most part. I bet I bet let's see. I'm going to guess. I bet um six 70% of the field landed in circle 2. Wait, no, it's too high because there's a lot of circle ones, I bet. Does circle 2 include circle one? Wait a second. Okay. Yeah, 70 >> and 68% landed in circle 2. >> I am very pleased with myself. >> Yeah, what a what a great uh madeup game you just did. >> Probable statistic. >> Yeah. And also, you won the game. You made up right here. So, awesome. >> That is all I care about. >> Um Silva leaving hers a little bit wide right. Haiti going right at it. Gonna find the circle. It's a nice shot. Holland with her vulture looking great. Finds the edge of the bullseye. Man, Holland looking really clean through this last stretch of nine holes. Cat putting this one up really high, looking for it to swing in. It's going to leave her just outside the circle. >> The wind can be so wild on this hole. >> Yeah, >> there's just no way to read it either. I like the addition of the elevated basket here on the screen. >> I like it more here than um the now hole, too, for sure. Yep. >> Nice soft bid from Silva. cat from around circle's edge to go under par >> just a little high again. >> Yep, they're confident looking strokes. She's not quite landing. Cat looks like she's ready to turn this round around. If she came up to me looking like that, I think I would start running. >> Cower a little. >> Just like lightly cower. Yeah. Holland with another birdie. One of only 11 on whole 13. That's crazy that there's 70% of the field in circle 2 in regulation at minimum and only 11 birdies. >> That is crazy. >> Elevated basket alert. Windy green alert. >> Do you know what over a million dollars in disc look like? Well, MVP wants to give them away to schools. That's right. MVP is looking to give away 100,000 recycled neutron glitches to 4,000 schools. That's crazy. But we need your help to get the word out. Help MVP grow the sport. Talk to your local schools and go to MVP's website for more information. Hole 14. Look at this par five. Our second one of the day at 7:55. Reachable by everyone in the field. But this is one that can bite you. The T-OT, it's all about getting some big distance, but it it doesn't really matter as much on the second shot. Although, I think we will see some players potentially trying to go across on their second shot this year with how far everybody's throwing. But most of your second shots are little chippy shots to a very dangerous landing zone. So the distance doesn't quite matter as much as you'd like off the tea. So this I was going to say Taylor Chosk did this and it's not something I thought about a lot, but she's going to the left because it opens up a a simpler approach um where you don't have to be quite as controlled on your angle. And that's probably just a hair shorter than you want, but I think the distance throwers are going to be doing this line a lot more. >> Like you can almost throw a little forehand. >> Exactly. You could absolutely throw a forehand, but you can also make the backhand work. As Henna is showing us, she's absolutely parked for another birdie to move to seven down. >> Making that shot look easy. >> I'm pretty sure two years ago they gave us a shorter teapad and made this a par4, which this is a much better change. The entire field is much happier about this. Um, yeah, I really like this hole a lot. So, Han's going to go on this right side. Huge power. huge cube just that's where so many second shots are landing. That's where all of the second shots are landing. >> That's the farthest shot we've seen on this hole by a country mile. >> I wish we had a distance on this. That's bonkers, which is not a word I use. >> She go across on her second if she wants. >> I think she's probably just a bit blocked, but that is so insane. I just fainted in the booth. That was incredible. >> Here's like a normal really far shot. So good so far still. >> And Holland is like >> Was it Was it just primo wind on this hole? >> This one was not bad for the T-OT, that's for sure. >> I think it was like light tail kind of blocked >> and these players really taking advantage. Oh man, Haiti get a little bit of a wind bounce there, but that's fine. That's not just fine. That is a really good shot. I'm not going to call it great, but it is a really, really good shot. No problem with it. And she's like 200 feet short of Holland. That's an exaggeration, but it is crazy. Cat taken to the sky. Going to let the wind really push this disc. Yeah, that's as if you're anywhere near that stake like you're in play for a birdie. I do like that Cat is going to take this left side. Uh if you get around the tree, which she is flirting with, it usually sets you up better than the right side. Haiti with a little standstill forehand. Oo, that's some distance. >> Oh, too much distance. >> Yeah. >> So, she'll have to proceed to that drop zone. >> Silva forced to throw a backhand turning shot. kind of a scary shape for this. And she doesn't get the as far right as she wants. Yeah, she's going to have to pitch up again. And that's pretty brutal. I think the shot across the water is the hardest shot on this hole. And yeah, and you don't want to set yourself up to try to save a par from there. >> Cat going across. Not quite in the perfect position, but it don't matter. >> It does. It is so good. Right up the little How how big is that little hallway? You think the little gap to the green? >> 15 ft. Yeah, it's not big. >> Plus, Cat had to deal with those branches on the short side. That was >> hauling. Just literally putting >> just a little putt up to the landing zone. >> So crazy. >> Oh, get under it. Yes, >> that's good, >> man. It is cleaned up so much. >> That low hanging tree branch not even close to as far hanging down as well. >> Silva throwing four with the couple pitch outs. So good. >> So smooth. about to make a bit of a putt. >> It's crazy. There's the same amount of birdies on this hole as that last little short par three. >> That is crazy. Uh Haiti throwing from this drop zone. If she misses, there is a drop zone on the other side. Uh but she's at the bullseye. No problem. >> Everyone making this shot look super easy. >> Mhm. Yeah. I love this as a par five. >> Mhm. >> I like that the pond this year is very red clay. >> Mhm. >> It's not usually that color. No, it's gross to go in still, I'll tell you. Slimy cat coming up short on that one. Nice birdie from Holland. Her drive is just still mindboggling. cat going to take the par on that one. The island hole is the same as we've seen in years past. It's a par 3 315 ft. Um, this I think was a pretty sustained right to left crosswind just coming across the water. um making it a really good hole for a forehand because the backhand you see a lot of turning shots and the wind is going to slam that down if you turn it too much. So forehand's a great play. If you don't land safe, there is a drop zone short side of the water and that's no gimme. It's a very nervy shot similar to what we just saw from the other side. Here's Holland showing us that forehand. She puts this thing up real high and it spikes down nicely. >> Was the wind real swirly here? >> No, this one like I think because it's in a flat area was pretty sustained right to left. >> Consistent. >> Like I think you can see it pretty well in this easy wind for a backhand on this one. >> Yeah, you got to keep it really flat which is hard to do because you want to turn it >> and that's Silva's number one thing. She's so good at it and still just can't quite predict the wind with this downhill shot. >> Yeah, I love that. This whole kind of forces, not forces, but it really rewards the sidearm more than anything else. Wow, >> floating one up there. Talk about trusting the disc. She gave that so much height and let it kind of just fall on the green eventually. >> Not not a shot that my brain would ever line up. cat with the backhand trying to hiser flip it, but that's going to fade way out. So, we're going to see a couple drop zone shots here. Not the easiest to save your bogey. >> And I believe it's just it's normal OB rules after this drop zone. >> Okay. >> So, you got to make sure you cross otherwise you could be rethrowing. >> This one played as a tie for the most difficult hole. Yeah. alo also averaging 68 overpar. >> I bet there was a ton of OB strokes. >> Yeah, there was out of our field of 35 competitors. In the stats, there was 24 OB strokes. >> Yeah, this is like kind of your classic two or four, you don't see a ton of threes. >> And you can even see, you know, Silva's so good at these little approach shots and she still almost misses the green again. >> Mhm. And first large error from Silva here. Going to have to take a double. Holland stacking up those birdies. That's a turkey. She moves to six down. >> Yeah, that's a three-stroke swing just on one hole. >> Nice conversion from Haiti. So incredible to get the backhand to land safe on this one. >> And she is finally under par. Yay. Yeah, she's really been working this whole round. >> Mhm. Only 12 birdies on hole 15 today with only 50 competitor. 15 competitors out of 35 landing on the island. >> I'm Seth Muny, director of safety and player performance for the Disc Golf Pro Tour.

There's out of bounds on the left side uh that can come into play on the first shot, but um most competitors going to play a little bit more wide out to the right. This line of trees is the perfect guardian for the green. You see some people trying to kind of sneak through there with a backhand, but I think this hole really rewards again a forehand coming into the green. >> I will say we used to play from a shorter team. They made this change two years ago and I we see a lot less birdies. I think you see a lot more backhands on the second shot that are just kind of trying to crash in >> um >> just to get the distance. >> Just to get the distance. So I would love to see this one in the shorter position, but it's still like it's fine. >> Yeah, it's very very very uphill on this T- shot as It's really hard to bite off the distance, but >> you need to have a more accurate second. >> Mhm. Yeah. I'm betting that there's only a handful of birdies. And this used to be one of the easiest easier >> holes, but still >> always one of the easiest, >> but still like guarded, you know, like the green. I think the green is awesome. >> Yeah, it's one of the I think one of the most renowned greens at Jonesboro. >> And some decent drives here. Cat getting good distance. >> Yep. This one averaged 02 overpar. Not a lot of birdies happening. Only six, but 16 competitors got to circle two in regulation. It's just circle one that's hard to access. >> Yeah, you see a lot of circle twos from the other side of the trees are like dealing with some low hanging branches. Haiti up first on her second going backhand. And yeah, it's kind of there's like this sneaky little right gap that you're going to see a lot of. She manages that so perfectly. >> It's way less sneaky this year. cleaned up nicely. >> They did. >> She also just laced it. >> She did lace it. >> She made it look big. >> She sure did. >> And putting from that fence line is just the worst. >> It's true. Silva trying to access the more open side of the green, but there is that one low hanging branch from that last tree to deal with. Cat trying to find that same window that Haiti took. And you can see it's not the easiest. Haiti made it look big, but it is not. Cat at least dropping on the other side of the fence. >> Yeah, just outside circle one. Holland one of the few who can throw far enough both backhand and forehand to put together this combo. But that is out of her hand pretty early and pretty hazarded on the short side of the fence. >> Yeah, a little bit of a misfire there. We know she was going for the green. Here's Silva with that tree in the way. Yeah, couldn't do much from there. >> Holland with some branches in the way, but giving it a good run. Cat with the same branch. >> One branch. Yeah, she finds a little gap. gets back to under par. Nice hit. Battling and Hades going to string a couple together now. Two underpar for the round. >> Couple really clean putts. >> Haiti one of only four birdies. >> Yeah, we saw Cat Merch as well. Shout out Addison Woodard and Evelyn Solinin for also getting it. Hole 17. It's a par4 630 ft. A strange little low ceiling um that gets in the way. You could take a big hiser line, but you don't see it very often. Uh if you can get close to this red stake, you are sitting pretty this left side, especially the short left uh OB I think is brought in from years prior. So, it definitely comes into play like especially that late left corner or if you throw deep. Um the right side I can't I think it's about the same. It does feel tighter, I will say, this year um than in previous years, but it's been a few. So, Katrina gonna show us the way. You do want a nice straight shot and get some ground play on this one. And she does just that. >> Oh, a lot of ground play. Yeah, there's like one bare patch that if you hit, you get a little speed boost. She gets it to circle two. Yeah, this is a scary second shot. That OB is so tight. tighter than ever. >> What a putt putt. >> Moves to five down on the elevated basket, too. Haiti pushing the ceiling about as hard as you can to get that distance. That is masterful. finds her way almost to that steak. Wow. Oh my gosh. Cat putting so much turn on it. You rarely see disc get past that stake. That's awesome. That was so far. Holland trying to follow suit, but she's going to be a little low. She gets the speed boost, though. >> Mhm. I think that's like the highest percentage play, you know, as far as like you're not you're not going to find like any of the rough or anything like that. >> You're not going to hit that branch. >> You pull out everyone's notebook and it just says hit the speed boost. >> Hit the speed boost. >> All their notes >> or keep it low and get the skip as Silva just did. Holland, you think she's going to go huge here? >> Yeah, I think she's going to ride that right side where there's more room. >> Yeah. >> Yeah, she wants it. >> Calling for it to get down. >> And we Oh my god. >> That's what I was going to say. That OB comes up so fast. >> Trying to hit this screen with a fast speed disc like that is wild. Uh-oh. Yeah, never had a chance. Let's see how far. Okay, so it's going to be what? Edge of circle looking at her par safe. >> Yeah, just outside >> Haiti from the correct side of the fairway to attack this green >> and she puts too much hiser on it. >> Yeah, easy to do. That left side comes up quick. >> So tight. Wow, that's the farthest drive I've seen. >> Absolutely. >> Like most ladies bring out at least a fairway driver. >> Cat. No. >> Yeah. Misfire. >> Bummer. >> She's really putting her discs up in the air more than I feel like we normally see. And she is one of the players that's very good at that, but I feel like even on approaches and stuff, we haven't seen her use the sky this much. And yeah, just kind of inviting the wind into play just a bit more. Silva unable to save par there. >> Only seven birdies on hole 17. >> Ooh, Holland splashing out for hers. The rivalry between Holland and Silva continues. >> Oh no. Elevated pins, man. >> Mhm. Katie's going to capitalize though. Correct her error. Keep it to two under par. Really nice putt. Oh, >> dang. Silva finding a few putting mistakes on the last couple holes. Going to cost her. Uncharacteristic to see Silva with two double bogeies in a round. Sometimes it can be a little tough to keep the focus on when you go from such tight wooded courses to these open courses, but focus is what you need on our whole 18 here. This one has OB everywhere. So, your T-shot, you have to decide, do you want to lay up on the short side of the little out- of-bounds creek or try to go for the green? Any T-shot landing out of bounds, the player goes to a drop zone with a penalty stroke. Of course, the drop zone is different this year though. It is past the basket on a little mound. Um, which is kind of nice because it incentivizes you to go for it. It used to be a drop zone on the short side of the green from whatund >> maybe two. >> Oh, it was a long a long shot. >> 175. >> Yeah. So, cool to see maybe players potentially going for it a little bit more. Holland going to go for a skip shot. Obviously, >> that's obviously the gameplay. >> Sick. >> That's what everyone's thinking. Just skip it across the Skip it right across. Speed boost. Speed boost. Um, the wind can really dictate a lot of players game plans on this hole. It changes so much and it can be uh so daunting to try Oh, to go against the wind. >> What? She's like OB even though she's on land. >> Bummer. >> I love the the change of the drop zone. >> Yeah, >> absolutely. >> Cat putting it up in the air, giving it some turn. Needs to beat those branches and it does. >> Nice. That drop zone's pretty far, though. It's I think outside circle 2 even or on the edge. >> So, even with the new drop zone, still not a lot of players going for it. It looks like everyone on our feature card is going for it, which is that's why they're that's why they're here, cuz they give us a show. >> Um, but unfortunately, Silva is going to get a little bit of a bad kick after after hitting the tree on the right side. Here's the drop zone from Haiti line. >> Trying to stay par. There is OB right behind it in that water. Haiti. Wow. Gosh. Give it to her. Slow. What a finish. And she really battled on this back nine to get a few under par. That is so sick. >> That might be the only one of these we see this weekend. >> Wow. >> Revel in it. >> So good. >> I'd be surprised if anyone else got it today. >> Oo, sassy little disc retrieve, too. Let's see if Silva can maybe follow suit. >> Sorry for my potential spoiler. That was just an incredible putt. That was almost an incredible putt. Holland for one more birdie. Henna finishing at seven down. Holland trying to match but catches band. These are a couple of scary putts that Obie does come up pretty quick behind the basket. Cat unable to convert that final birdie. She's looking at even par for the round. It looks like only seven players got to circle one in regulation while 13 got to circle two. >> No. That looks like it was a lot of wind. >> A lot of wind. >> A lot of wind doing something there. >> A lot of wind. A little high, but I mean she hits the pole. She hits a lot of chains. It kind of just like kept the wind kind of just like kept it up there for a hot sec. Oh man, that's a bummer way to finish this round. Especially Cat continued to put her head down and fight. Silva also going to finish one over par. Holland showing us the way with a super clean six down. >> Wow. >> Mhm. >> And that's after a couple bogeies to start, but she never looked stressed out there. Really putting it together nicely. And I think to win this tournament, you're going to have to string three of those types of rounds together in a row. >> Somewhere around five each more if the wind is down. >> Absolutely. And I know there are some storms in the forecast tomorrow and that can always of of course add strokes to our average score, but I think yeah, we're going to see around 15 under to win this tournament. A lot more birdies than normal and honestly we're not we didn't see as many as I thought today. >> Yeah. Um but looks like to be on the lead card, four down got you into that top four positioning. Tons of people under par more than we're used to seeing. Uh all the way down to a big tie for 13th. >> Yeah, Henna, Holland, Katrina, and Eveina going to be our lead card going into moving day. Um pretty tight scores at the top and should be interesting. >> Yeah, I think this is going to be an event too where we see a lot of up and down movement on moving day tomorrow. I think we're going to see a ton of people make big pushes cuz there's so much room to birdie out there. Birdie birdie birdie birdie everywhere. >> Just got to just got to everywhere. >> Yeah, try try not to succumb to the pressure of the birdie also. Um but yeah, come see us tomorrow. Hopefully the storms hold off here at the disc side of heaven. Um if not, it's going to be a fun round to watch regardless. I am Madison Walker. >> I'm Erica Stinchcom. were your two hot geese. >> I was trying to feed it to you. >> Obviously. >> Oh my god.
