And welcome back to beautiful Grand Prairie, Alberta, Canada for the 2026 [music] Canadian National Championships. I'm Ian Anderson, as always joined by Corey Murrell. This is your round two lead card part two. Head to the back nine on the co-op, Corey. Does it get easier? I don't [laughter] know. >> I dude, I don't think so. I mean, there's a couple of forgiving holes, but my gosh, some of those finishers are just brutal. But, I mean, Eric Weeb has been shredding it so far, six under on the front. So, curious to see how he's going to attack some of these tough holes on the back. >> With you and a huge thanks to all our local sponsors making this coverage possible, getting this tournament going.

[laughter] >> Gilbert going to that roller. Not quite the success he had yesterday, but he likes his chances for three at least. >> Yeah, just more or less a sky Annie. >> Weeb Ooh. Tough spot. >> Yeah, that's really a lot of trees between he and the bucket. Easty. Keeping it in the air. You will notice that OB line on the left. >> Yeah, thank you for mentioning that. That's really the big danger on the backhand is the fade out early. >> Uh-oh. This needs help. Oh. Ah. Oh. >> Somehow squeaks by it all. >> It did? >> It did. >> Wow. That is amazing. Got to push it long enough, I guess, then, huh? >>...
