With every hole having OB everywhere on every side all the time, particularly if it's windy, you're going to have to see people really buckle down, battle the wind, stay in bounds. I don't know if we'll see as hot of scores. Uh, and we are definitely going to see just a pretty mental battle out there. So, you can tell just by reactions out there that Holland wants this. She wants it more than everybody. She is taking it hard when she does poorly and really celebrating the victories. But we do know if if Holland comes out with the switch flipped, if she comes out there throwing controlled distance shots, nobody can touch her. She can throw a controlled distance forehand and backhand better than most people. And that forehand is a major advantage on so many holes out here. Silva, she came in three strokes behind to Holland Hanley and had played so well in the woods, but was a couple over at Ivy Hill. I think she definitely needs to shoot under par out here to win this thing. And she was in position a lot of times. She missed a few putts kind of just left side chain high. They were so close. And if she can make those drop, she's got this. So, I think Paige did have a major advantage today because she was able to unleash on the disc that she likes to throw and the disc that she throws really well and farther than everybody else. But tomorrow, bring the wind into the equation. I don't know if her kind of like heiser flip gentle right turning game is going to cater to the conditions. If she has a good putting day though, that could really make up for it because if Paige is dropping them in from circle two, it's hard to stop her. If Eveina goes out there and just has fun throwing the disc farther than everyone, she's the best thrower of the disc that we have, she can park holes that everyone else just can't quite reach in the same way as easily. And I hope that's what we get to see from her because that is the most fun thing. She is six back. Uh so it would take probably borderline course record for her to win. Uh, but a four down is incredible at Ivy...
