foreign hello and welcome back to another nine holes of the 2023 Junior World Championships powered by Paragon disc golf this is a PDGA major here in the Greater Peoria area we are at kennel Lake for this nine holes part of our crew 42 coverage for the PDGA my name is Zach O'Hare and I'm the commentators mic and with me I have Grace dykema as well having you on the mic so far for this whole tournament it's been amazing to have you your insights for the rounds taking a quick look at our front nine from this round so far we have three ladies at plus seven this course is it's Sneaky tough it is tough because I don't think it's Sneaky I Think It's just tough only one birdie I mean it just plays really really tough and uh we have nine more difficult holes to go starting with 10 though what do we got going on 125 feet this one's definitely especially coming after the last couple of holes everyone's wanting to par this one uh there's some junk on the left but if you can stay out of that shoe then you're it's pretty open there's some branches um as you come near the basket that's in sometimes block your putt if you go long but really a pretty straight up hole not OB on the left side it looks primed to be OB in the long grass it like looks set up to be perfect for that and then it's just not so don't worry about it if you hide your left it's not good it plays like a pretty natural it it definitely will bite you but it's not going to be an additional OB stroke here Ellie taking my advice not taking the OB stroke just leaks a little bit into that long grass into that tall shoemak stuff so she'll be far enough though that I think she'll still have good enough footing for a putt It's tricky to get full power for a throw from there but putting it's a little easier yeah it's really a good angle this one holds on Circle two let's take that from there if this plays a little uphill the whole way right generally I think so I I don't notice it off the tee and then I throw and I'm like that...
