Hello everyone and welcome back. It's the back nine of round two of the 2026 Asia Open. Doing it. We're in Taiwan for the first stop of the tour. Heimberg along with Chen. Also have Tang on the card. That's Terry Tang. And then rounding out our card, Neil's Loberg, originally from Germany. And now here in Taiwan on our lead card and so far just trying to maintain as we head over to the 10th 305 ft place downhill going over the ledge here but you have OB to deal with completely surrounding the basket. You must come to rest inbounds. Otherwise, you go to a drop zone. And even with the height of Heimberg, it's still technically blind to him. And he's waiting for some kind of indication.

He'll have the tap in par coming up, but I don't know if that's quite a step on their throat type of moment. I think that's maybe a little dramatic here only at the halfway point, but certainly would have been nice for him. 112 m. The shot is dead straight, or I should say the basket is dead straight. The shot is out to the right around this dead tree, around this little clump of trees or two, and then have it come skipping in. In fact, even around that last clump...
