[music] >> Welcome back to the Golf fans to continuing coverage of the 2026 Appalachia Open. We're back here once again at Wade [music] Park. We got back nine action. Maybe the tougher half. I don't know which one is the tougher half here Fish. We seen some [music] some some difficult ones already in the front nine. You let me know you played the course. >> I don't know. They're they're both hard. [music] Every hole is treacherous. Every hole is playable. Um so you kind of just have to take your [music] round for what it is and try to put together 18 good holes. >> Yeah, we're halfway through it so far. Let's take a look at the leaderboard. Andrew Fish up top. [music] Ian Burchatt on our card playing with him. We've got a couple of other hot rounds coming in throughout the day. >> Yeah, hot round is relative. [music] You see everyone in that top 10 clustered around even through 9, 13, 15 holes [music] or so. And hole 10, one of the most daunting of the bunch. We saw a lost disc right before [music] we teed. That's that's not a great thing to have to wait on. Mostly for the psychological effect as we fly past several tee pads. Fairway drifts [music] from left to right and then kind of straightens out. And it is sloped steeply from left [music] to right as well. Basket perched up here on a very nicely landscaped green. I'm expecting to [music] see probably fairway drivers thrown pretty hard. >> Fairway driver? Pretty hard? >> Yeah, I didn't hate the shape of it. I just pulled it right. Matt Hammerstein going to play nine or 10 speed kind of drifty. >> Oh, keep turning. >> And he cuts through the left side a little bit, but sometimes you need those brakes. He's going to have himself a birdie putt. >> Yeah, very well done there. Oh, straight down. Look like that Nord once again there for Ian. >> Yeah, he's got enough power to go mid on this, which is pretty crazy. >> Well, that tree is just claiming victims left and right. >> [laughter] >> Yeah, Hammer's got to be feeling pretty good about himself. He might have out driven us collectively. >> Flex out. Flex out. >> And this shot was so well thrown...
