Well, and welcome back to beautiful Grand Prairie, Alberta, Canada for the 2026 Canadian National Championships. I am Ian Anderson, joined by Corey Ellis, your league card, Thomas Gilbert, Kieran Atkinson, Nathan Sexton, and Brodie Bombshell. Corey, we got nine holes left to go on this thing. >> [music] >> We do. It's been a blast out in northern Alberta. Thomas is having his way with the courses out here, and it is going to be a bit of a blowout, I think, but the second place should be a bit dynamic with Brodie and Nate Sexton battling for that second place spot. >> They sure are. There are those ball diamonds behind your scores. Gilbert, what a front nine he put together. >> Yeah, amazing through five holes, or through four holes going five under. A little bit of a blemish on hole six, but back at it with a turkey from there. >> Hole 10. You know, I had this thought earlier, Corey. This is kind of like the Canadian Ledgestone. You've got your wooded course, you've got your course out in the open with the ball fields, you know? >> I like it, you know? And just like Ledgestone, this hole playing right up against the outfield fence. Kind of reverse though, this time it's right off the tee, then opens up from there. 607 ft, OB on the left side, just that hole nine fairway. Shouldn't come into play, but it is there if you leak left. >> Gilbert with the box and his giant arm. >> He does have long arms. He's got like that ape index thing going for sure. >> 100%, but he hates this out of his hand. >> I >> Could it somehow >> No >> Aw. >> way. >> That guy is crazy right there. >> Yeah. >> It was It's very far. He's almost jump putt-able from where he went OB. Uh, but it is OB. So, I'll be playing this for par. Brody, he is in bounds off the tee, playing for birdie still. As is Mr. Sexton back on the box. Duo Destroyer coming from Nate. >> I like it. Nice and glidy, hanging out to the right. Those new Duos have a lot more give maybe than their star counter-parts. >> I feel like I could actually throw a Duo Destroyer, you know, and have it...
