2019 GBO | WOMEN | R1B9 | Pierce, Bjerkaas, Panis, Walker
The 2019 Glass Blown Open (GBO) women's tournament is underway at the prestigious Country Club. Commentary duo Zoe and Ike are joined by Page Pierce as they dissect the second half of Round One, also known as the back nine holes. The competition is fierce, with Kona in 12th place and Rebecca tied for the lead with one of the commentators. The back nine poses significant challenges, particularly on par-3 hole 10, where a downhill shot requires careful consideration to avoid obstacles like OB lining both sides of the fairway. Pierce shares her insights on navigating this tricky hole, emphasizing the importance of avoiding overflipping and managing gravity-driven throws to the left side. With 391 feet of distance to cover, Page must land precisely to get up and down from the green, making for a tense and thrilling conclusion to Round One of the GBO women's tournament.
