Hello and welcome to the back nine of round one of the 2025 Grip EQ 43rd Kansas City Wide Open presented by Underpar. Our fifth stop on the disc golf pro tour. I'm Erikica Stingcom. I'm Madison Walker. We're your two hot geese. Honk professional geese. Yeah, really. So many cute dogs on the course today. So many. Mhm. That's honestly the story of the day. Legitimately, one of the softest dogs in the world followed my card. I'm not lying. Katie Christmas Katie is the dog. Okay. Yeah. Also happening, Holland Hanley and Owens tied for the lead with Haiti line. Uh on our feature card, Cat Merch working her way back to even after a rough start. Lisa Vegas finding some green with a great putt on the last hole of the front nine after a few bad breaks and a few kind of missed putts from nerves. It looks like uh hole 10 is another reachable par three. Love all the reachable par 3's out here. 336 ft. It keeps you honest though. That right side OB, it looks like it really bubbles out uh in the T- sign, but it's more of a straight line, so you can find it if you turn it over. And then that left side OB patch can come into play if you saw it off. Um, and there's some woods over to the left, but realistically, you just want to throw a nice hiser and get in the circle and putt. It's a right to light left wind, so pretty favorable to hang it out to the right. But Lisa overturning this and going to find the out of bounds. On the T- sign, it looks like that would have been in. Oh, and with a little bit of a lower line. I love the flex line. and that's what I choose as well. But you do often times kind of bring that center OB into play if you finish out just a little bit too early. Oh, cat going huge hiser. I don't know how intentional that was. I mean, it's going to be fine. Yeah, but that was a little higher. Maybe a little uh more nose up than she anticipated. That right to left wind really can play with the disc if you put it that high in the air. And Holland also kind of sawing it...
