Hello and welcome to the front nine of round two of the 2025 PDGA Champions Cup presented by OTB and MVP Disc Sports. It's our first major of the year. I'm Erikica Stingcom with special guest. I'm Ella Hansen. Yeah, you are. Yeah, you are. Nothing's up. This is up. Europe. We're doing it out here uh at Swinson Park. Um we're at the same layout. But before we get into that, we got something new and exciting for you. Uh Gomez is doing our first of four tour series discs. We have a DGA Rift that is dropping. Um just check it out. They are available right now. Jaspro.com. So, pretty cool looking stuff for you all. You ready for this? I'm so ready. All right. Little better conditions out there today. Who's joining us? We've got Silva Sarnin from Finland. We got Hannah Win from She's actually from Spokane, Washington. She is. We got Paige Pierce from Plano, Texas. And Kristen Lock from Estonia. Wow. I like that you know where they're all from. Hole one is a par4. It's 554 ft. We are playing the exact same layout as we played yesterday. So, if you didn't watch that, uh, go do it. I don't know why you're here. Um, I like the right side hiser play. The drone took the left side play, turnover shot. There's forehands, there's tunnels, there's anything you can imagine. The right side OB definitely pinches as you get towards the pin and uh, it's up on a hill. So, very getable birdie to start. Silva, definitely getable, but bringing some uh, bringing some interesting stuff into play, too, if you're if you're not hitting your lines. Yeah. It's amazing how many low ceilings are out here for how few trees there are. Yeah. And this one you just want to make sure you're choosing left or right and staying over there cuz the middle can get pretty hairy. Sil's pretty much parking the pin there, which is I think a great great place to play from. Yeah, I think she is right behind a tree. Uh Silva shooting an unbelievable 10 down yesterday. Hannah Win stranger to the tour. She's been touring for a few years now, uh, throwing discraft obviously. I'm excited to watch her. Yeah, circle two in regulation around 70% yesterday. That is how you get it done out...
