This is Derek and Chris. Yo yo yo. We are halfway through. [music] It's getting exciting. Zack bogey free through this front nine. Everyone else catching [music] a couple strays. Maybe a couple more shots. James keeps it up. He might end up like 50 Cent and he's going to >> try [music] to get rich or die trying. Yeah, he's of what three nine bogeies away. Uh, yeah. So, this is a hole 10. This sponsored here by Maple Hill. 377 ft [music] uphill. Changed it last year. I think a little easier. I mean, the gap you have to hit, but it just doesn't seem as steep. The trees on the right don't come into play as much, but you do have to worry about the trees on the left a little more.
