foreign hello and welcome to the third round of the Las Vegas challenge this is the first Pro Tour event of the year we are on the front nine and today is cut day folks so that means the top 29 ladies in the field will make it my name is Madison Walker and I'm Erica stinchcomb and we're the two Huggies honk if you're curious why we call ourselves that we'll tell you when we have more time that's a lengthy story but it's enough about us we are looking forward to playing the infinite course again this has never happened before usually we play three separate courses this time we get two we've never gotten another chance to attack Katrina Allen commanding lead right now her birdie rate is 33 she shot a 10 down yesterday averaging a thousand for the event unbelievable after two rounds to do back-to-back thousand rated henna also greens and regulation look at that 69 that is unbelievable she's putting herself in position she just needs to let the putts drop yeah she'd finished with the turkey yesterday too so I'm sure she's feeling confident Missy Gannon shot seven over yesterday at the end of the course I see 50 scramble rate 75 Circle one putting so looking pretty solid all around you guys know Ella Hansen is one of the biggest arms in the field she's always eagering I swear every doesn't she have one Eagle per round so far statistically yes uh OB rates six percent so she's keeping it in bounds and that's what you gotta do especially on a course like what we're playing today hole one is a nice little short starting hole at 233 feet there is that out of bounds Hazard area short of the basket most people are going to throw a mid-range maybe something overstable and try to crash into the green hopefully not skip too much conditions were a little bit better today than we've seen it was kind of warm but then it would get cold and then warm again was down for the most part it picks up steadily as the round goes on I would say that putter is just as common as a mid-range as well oh that was a great shot Katrina throwing her SP breaker henna with a star AVR X3 it's been fun to see Katrina...
