[music] Welcome back to round two coverage of the 2025 Syracuse Open sponsored by the Pies guys. We are on [music] Clay East at Clay Central Park in Liverpool, New York and we got a [music] nice race between a pretty stacked field of competitors. My name is Luke Sackan alongside tournament director Steven Bailey. [music] >> If you haven't yet, be sure to go check out that front nine. And round one coverage from Clay West, [music] Nathan Queen is leading the charge. 19 down through 27 holes. [music] Got Braden Sides and Zack Sison. Two back and Andrew Miranda uh chasing as well on our round two lead card. But the chase card and the third card are right there. Shout out to Jiren Mensy with a six down front nine. Uh Randy Dick with a seven. And yeah, I mean you're going to need to keep scoring if you want to stay in front here. So we are moving into hole 10. Par 4 387 ft. Very short but very tight. Um you can kind of have a right to left shot that goes to the mouth of the next two gaps basically. Um, Nathan has kind of been been throwing this gentle turnover all day and is just a little bit inside there. It is a really demanding shot here, especially for the lefty back end. It is definitely an eagleable hole for our power righties if he can get something to flip up and ride straight. And we see a more common shot from Braden. Looked like it made the corner. Just a easy backhand hiser from the righty that you're just looking to get over the the front side of this hill and give yourself something on on the approach to the basket is probably the most heavily wooded hole on the course for sure. Yeah, kind of the theme of the par fours here. You can throw a safe shot and give yourself a chance to execute for a birdie or you can throw an aggressive shot and try and do something special. And there were quite a few eagles on the day. So >> common play here from Braden if you're if you're back on your drive is the forehand roller. He covered quite a bit of distance. Camera cut out just short, but looks like he's got a putt for birdie....
