Hello and welcome to the back nine of round three of the 2025 PDGA Champions Cup presented by OTB and MVP Disc Sports. This is our first major of the year and day three which I probably said but just in case I didn't. I'm Erica Stinchcom. I'm Madison Walker. Where your two hockeys, honk. A little chilly out there. Little bit of wind. Our lead card made it look pretty easy though. No bogeies to speak of. That's wild. Missy Ganon in particular making a run for it. Five down through the front nine. Putting herself within one stroke of the lead. Kristen right behind her only a few strokes back. Uh starting off hole 10. It's the same as we've been playing. It's a par4 591 ft. The drone is taking the left side, which I like in the left to right wind that we had today. Though you're going to see most women take the hiser line carrying more OB. It brings in more risk, but tends to put you in a better position to attack for the birdie. If you choose to grow go across on your second shot across the water, um it's kind of a narrow landing zone. Uh I think it's a really fair hole. Uh it's pretty easy to find some trees and not be able to really put yourself into a prime position off the tea, but we're going to see a few of these ladies go huge. The wind was scary for thiser today. It was a left to right uh crosswind, a little bit of a tailwind. If you showed a little bit too much of the underside of your disc, you could very easily push OB right. Pristine in a good position to go across on her second. I think a forehand is really nice on the second shot if you have it. Looks good for Missy. I can't tell if she's behind a tree or not, but safe regardless. What? left to right cross when they say. Yeah. Making this look real easy. Silva might be a little pinched behind those right side line of trees. I like this one because it really makes you decide if you're just a little outside the landing zone. Doesn't quite feel worth it to go for it. Great shot from Paige getting a little bit farther than her competitors. Missy...
