Welcome back everybody. The 2020 Memorial Championship presented by Disc. I am Kevin Jones and next to me is my good buddy Luke Humphre. Luke, what's up, man? Just watching these young Europeans shred. It's been a pleasure so far. Hope they're doing the same on the back nine. Yeah, I hope so. Back nine is extremely scorable. Every hole is going to be birdieable just like the front, but really these holes are absolutely getable and we're expecting a birdie on almost every one of them. So, we've got a couple guys sitting at six down. I really hope to see them break that 10 down mark. Here's your leaderboard. We got a couple really good scores right now.

This hole, if you have a sidearm like Eric does, I'm telling you, this whole play is much easier than if you try to shape in a backhand. Would you agree with that? Totally. The that backhand brings in long, brings in right. It even brings in the right OB. Um I just That is a mid-range out of KO. Oh man, his MX3 that he loves so much and that was a an enforcer out of Eric. Cool. So, if you're throwing a mid-range, I think that also um that can help it a lot, too. Yeah. Minimize the the distances right and left that you're going. And Kale's so good with his mid-ranges that uh it's just a play for him. You'll see forehand from the rest of...
