Hello everyone and welcome to Finland. It's the 2025 PDJ World Championships FPO finalist for our putting competition that's taking place. We're in city center of Tampere, Finland. Little gallery that's formed. We've got five stations and four finalist competitors. Cadence Burge will kick things off for us. each station, or should I say each putt is worth a point. However, if you convert on both putts, you get a bonus point. So, Cadence makes one of two, so she gets a single point. If you were to make both of them, you'd get three points. Cat Merch able to convert on one of two, so she'll pick up a single point. We have Ella Hansen and Christina Yikica. Apologize if that's not right, but I think it's close. Ella, chance for three points. Not able to convert. So, she'll also open with one point. Ultimately, we've got five stations, four competitors.

We head to the third station, which is on an elevated platform. Andy is at least 10 m away, somewhere between probably 10 and 11 m. Cadence not able to convert on either of them. >> Very, very professional. >> I'm not running around. I've got just one camera and I'm not trying to get in anyone's way as cat gets that one's to drop. So, I'm pretty much staying stationary. So, if it if it's not the best uh multiple camera coverage, I apologize. Hansen trying to keep up, but not going to be enough. Christina, I believe, from the Czech Republic. and not able to convert on either of those. Now we're going to go to a shorter station, but certainly framed up between the two panels. Slightly elevated...
