All right. Well, let's talk about another player that had a lot of success out there, and that's Silva Sarnin. The definitely uh on a bit of a hot streak right now. So, I want to know, is Silva Sardin the best candidate yet to be the Christristen Slayer? Um, definitely a lot of every time a player kind of makes their way up the FPO chart, we talk about, okay, is this the one that's going to take take things over, beat Kristen consistently? We've seen other players have a certain runs of success, but obviously Kristen's been very good this year as well. So, I want to know, is she the best candidate yet?

We've seen it, I think, a lot of cracks start on the putting green and then spill into the fairway versus Silva is just ice cold. Like there was so many opportunities where she missed her birdie putt and it's like here we go. This could be where this could be where Kristen takes...
