We're marching our way towards the finals of the 2025 PDGA Junior World Championships. We got the final nine holes of round four of this five round major coming to you from Jones West. The FJ18 division has been a tight battle and continues to get tighter. Conrad, we've seen already the lead continued to shrink for Virginia, poking a horn, trying to do her best to maintain basically a lead ahead of this pack. Yeah, at one point she stepped out from round one and shot nine down, but has not been able to duplicate that score any round since. She has maintained the lead and she still is in the lead, but she has some players chasing her down who have a championship in their sights. We're going to start out here on the back nine on hole 10 as a par three coming in at 267. Was playing as the easiest hole the previous day but now it's still in that worm of easy. I don't know how cuz you got to miss this branch here. the two trees that line the fairway coming forward. Maintaining your speed to make sure you check before going too far past the basket because there is OB the entire length of the hole and just behind the basket. And we see the wind is blowing which adds a little bit more complication to this throw. She killed some ants on the side of that tree for sure. And it's made it all the way up to circle two. >> Yeah. >> Our Nami going with a wider hiser line. This is more preferred play. It's going to put it right at circle's edge. >> I guess I guess asking for a stock hiser shot would be would make a hole a little less difficult. Oh, in a tighter line and that needs to get down. >> Don't think the wind is her friend here. >> OB, she is OB inside the circle, which means that she'll have a putt to save her par, but you much rather have a putt for birdie. >> Yeah, this needs to get down as well. >> And it does. So, let's see if Ann here can separate herself and possibly get solo seconds. Not to be, but Shelby still has to make that putt for par. >> Mhm. Virginia a chance to add another...
