Join Keith Elmore as he breaks down the leaderboard and shares his insights on the top players in contention. The round is highlighted by a challenging par three hole at the Factory Store, with Holton Unger's 378-foot right-hand backhand requiring players to "hang it out" over water. Philo Meadows' early release from his forehand shot sets him up for a long putt, while Emerson Keith attempts a stable destroyer approach. Vinnie Cius takes on the tricky hole and ends up skimming into Circle 2 with an eagle putt that narrowly misses its mark. With wind and moisture affecting play, the players must navigate headwinds to stay in contention – will anyone be able to close the gap?
