foreign welcome back to beautiful Arkansas for the 2023 Jonesboro open presented by Play It Again Sports I'm Andrew fish joined here by Nathan Queen we had a spectacular front on to watch there with lots of birdies and just two bogeys on the card I imagine we're gonna see something similar out here on this back nine maybe even with some Eagle chances mixed in now yeah and this feature card off to a pretty good start as is the rest of the field uh ideal scoring conditions about 65 degrees and almost windless compared to what we've seen in jonesboro's Prior yeah I'm not I would say I'm not sure players know what to do without the wind out here but here we are at the leaderboard showing you yeah there's your evidence exactly what to do and hole 10 gonna be a par 3 to start us off at 360 feet a little bit of low ceiling and high floor there's uh some very thick brush off to the left and right right late is the real danger I think the idea here is to throw either a forehand or a fairway driver backhand into the slope and try to let it check to the right yeah how's it going with that Fairway driver backhand uh needs this to be a little bit more to the right he does get a bit of a counter skip but in order to get that really good counter skip off to the right you need to land a good 20 feet right of where he's at to really ride that slope yeah but you see you see the idea with the late turn there lizotte kind of following that line but with more turn and this is going to match the slope very well and funnel right to the bullseye love watching a backhand shot work out here we got used to seeing four hand shots in the past I feel like they might have done a little bit of trim work on this hole I feel like it's a little more open I think I agree and Macbeth actually gonna go buzz here oh and just catches a bit of straight there on the end may have a look just outside Circle one but straddling out and putting down that Hill Nathan it is an astonishing amount of work...
