We have Derek Skull, co-founders, co-owners back at it. Dude, that front nine was insane. MJ is putting up a show here, folks. Look at all that green there. Seven down through nine holes. I can't wait to see how he lights up the rest of this course. Take a quick look at the standings through people's final. So Justin is at an eight collectively. It's very impressive what MJ's doing. So let's jump into hole 10. Par 4 615 ft slightly uphill. Serpentine pattern all the way. This is one of those holes that can mislead you.

I think with a little even though the that we have two par fives on the front some could argue that that gives you a little bit more wiggle room. Yeah, it's just the ending stretches is really tough. This used to be a par five. Shortened it up, made it a par four. Now it's a really good and tough par4. Yeah, I like...
