Hello and welcome to the back nine of round two of the 2025 LWS Open at IDA Wild presented by Dynamic Discs and the Natty. We are in Burlington. I'm Erikica Stinchcom. I'm Madison Walker. We're your two hotkeys. >> Honk honk. >> And we're watching a lot of golf. We're watching a lot of trees. We're watching plenty of birdies, but also lots of trouble.

Goes with what works, though. >> Mhm. And the forehand is pretty tricky here. There's like a left side gap you can take.
