Yeah, it used to be the Delaware Challenge before the birdie open. I wish [music] I knew the names before that. Let me know. I actually don't know. Was there a name before that or has it been the Delaware Challenge? >> Maybe the Iron Hill Open. I don't know. >> Good question. I don't know. Let us know.

I'm liking this from Tony. >> Yeah, now stable up. >> Yeah, it should be fine. >> Yeah, good footing there, too. I think >> this might be too far left. It's going to be perfect.

Wow, great out there from >> Chandler. >> Okay, >> that was tricky there. >> Started to drift to the right. >> What a shot there from MJ, especially with the uh the heartscape there. He really couldn't like plant into that shot. >> Yeah, it's kind of scary for your ankles and knee. >> Yeah. stopped up short there for Fish. >> He's keeping it on the fairway. >> Oh, forcing it over perfectly. >> Mo just outside Bullseye, man....
