Hello and welcome to the final nine of the 2025 PDGA Champions Cup presented by OTB and MVP disc sports. It's our first major championship Sunday. I'm happy to be here. I'm Erica Stinchcom. I'm Madison Walker. We're your two hockey geese. Honk. A lot of putting, a lot more putting than you normally see from both Kristen and Paige on the last couple holes of the front nine, which if you didn't watch, you're a psychopath and go watch it. What are you doing? Five strokes separating Missy Ganon playing really confidently out there. A lot of windy conditions.

It was a left to right wind that made the hiser a little scary because if you showed a little bit of the underside of the disc, you would very easily just drift straight into that OB on the right side that you're carrying here off the tea. And Missy not messing around, making sure to safe area. I'm guessing she'll go across from there, but it's probably a little shorter than she would normally land in calmer conditions. Yeah, she's really dumbing it down here. Just protecting the birdie she already has. There's Kristen really trusting this flex shot. Yeah, this is the super aggressive line and it pays off for her. She'll be a bit tucked, but with her sidearm, she should be right in range for a...
