Hey everyone, this is Becca Keart with the Ladies of the Chains disc golf podcast. Kim Janola from Team MVP and I'm Nova 64 Pulley with Team Ozone Discs and we're back with you to bring you commentary on the back nine of round two of the FPO lead card from the Jonesboro Open. After the front nine, Sarah Hookman and Katrina Allen each shot two throws over par. Madison Walker threw three throws over par and Paige Pierce came in with four throws over par after a really rough whole eight. We'd like to again thank Terry Miller, the Discolf Pro Tour, and the PDGA for bringing us FPO coverage along with dynamic discs.

If you can't trust your footing, that is unlucky. That is also really loud. Paige Pierce pitching up just inside circle one as well. Yeah, probably a little bit farther from the basket than she would like. Madison for a comebacker after that roll away. Yeah. Where was the headwind? That should have lift lifted the disc right up into the basket. It should have done that. Good putt there from Paige. After she struggled a little bit with the elevated basket on eight, she converted here and Madison Walker cleaning up the only bogey on this card. So, we're going to head into hole 11, 560 ft, par4. Pretty skinny fairway that then really opens up. Sarah Hokum didn't get...
