Hello and welcome to the first round of the 2026 Green Mountain Championship presented by Disc Mania. We're here at Smugglers Notch in beautiful Vermont. I'm Addison Walker. >> I'm Erikica Stingcomb. We're the two hot geese. >> Honk. Fall's peeping. It's happening. >> It is. It's starting. But we do get one more warm day. Thankfully, the rain misses us today as well. We are very happy to be in Vermont. We're playing Brewster Ridge today. And we're going to go Brewster Brewster Fox Run Fox Run uh for the week and no cut. So, everyone gets to play all four rounds. We'll jump straight in. A nice forgiving starting hole at 335. Hole one is a gentle right turning or right finishing hole.

We we're in order of where everyone is right now before this event >> own overtook uh Silva who was in the lead who did not play LWS open at ID Wild obviously winning that event so currently leading the field in points it's a tight battle at the top right now [applause] >> next in the box from Oti Finland let's welcome Silva Sarin [applause] This is not Silva's first rodeo at Brewster. We've seen her here before in a playoff with Kristen Lut. I don't think this course really favors either game, although it's really a big bonus to have a right finishing backhand here. I think absolutely. >> Stepping in next from Grapevine, Texas. Let's give a big hand to Holland Hanley. [applause] Holland Hanley third in points this year. Not quite...
