Welcome back to final round FPO lead card coverage from the 2024 Syracuse Open sponsored by the Pies Guys. I'm the tournament director, Steven Bailey, joined in the booth by local pro Karin Falconee. >> Hello, Stephen. We had a very exciting front nine and uh we are about halfway through the woods loop at Van Beern Central Park before our players go back into the open and uh I think it's going to be a little bit windier than when they went in. >> So we have uh Colleen McInness at plus 7, Kaitlin Clay at plus 10, Chelsea Beck at plus 13, and Alexandra Paltto at + 17. It's been a uh an exciting round so far. Um lots of great shots. Um and we'll see what these ladies can do on the uh back nine here.

Second birdie in a row there. >> Uh they're officially on fire. >> Yes, they are. >> Man, that's that's a great scramble from Colleen to go early left there and get your three like that. >> That is a very challenging spot, too.
