by yeah what on minut [Applause] am [Applause] he go go go okay for paulito Morgan of winter in Canada couple years ago this are 17th of the day off to a really solid Starts day one is about putting herself in position the bogey but still for Paula 66 Jennifer song at that ninth No Mess the Dual citizen born in an Arbor Michigan Korean as well aanan rukan played so well at the amundi Evan Championship last week sixth there good try man for [Applause] for e e there oh dang it [Applause] h [Music] w e e [Applause] speech right this is a par putt for our co-leader Nat Wang to wheap mentioned what a big hitter she is unable to take advantage of the 18th but oh my in half of the Season 13 yep play gram for birdie partners with a pair of up hillers she's got a downhiller oh all around good putt there nice qualified LED that group with a two underpar 69 not having a great day yet that'll make it a little better just Comfort level and know I talked to them at the US Open about it and they were still trying to find their Rhythm find how it all works you almost have to be able to read the mind of a player as a caddy at the 18th this is the next to last group from the morning wave Christina Kim walks it in all right saganda here at the 13th drove it all the way up here in the right rough just trying to judge will it bounce land short it should kick up forward but she's going to go right at it nicely done get some speed out of that rough yeah cheyen Knight second shot Morgan not give me any any inside Secrets but what do you look for in players that they're on the bubble you and the Captain Lewis well I mean Stacy's very much into stats oh she did WOW biry 11 Boogie 12 bir at 13 how about that out there today not so much in terms of rain we haven't they don't haven't had that yet but the wind and just general playability of the course very tough day over in Scotland shy of night for birdie that wasn't her best effort normally a pretty aggressive putter but that came up a little bit short this looks familiar Morgan I think that was the same as the last hole as well the little loop around the hole on its way in the NCAA champion from Texas A&M what a breakout year she has had played last week in her home country of France or great tradition here at the Dana open of giving kit Stars a chance to come play and she got this year's as the NCAA individual champ parents are Czech grew up France our put for Ali white well we talked about this in 2020 Sophia Popoff was not a member of the LPGA Tour she finished high enough to get a spot in the AIG Women's Open and she won it at trun says she feels like she's been playing some really good golf just been struggling score-wise to put it all together like it's been so close to being really special and we're seeing some signs of that early lots of sand right there that's where they always rake it up to there but as Morgan said plenty of green to work with and excellent play here how about this oh my goodness Jim I told you that was an easy shot but this hole for her what a shot let's finally hit the uh Short Grass going back up this slope about halfway there is where the kind of the crown that back of the goes to the back of the green so this be a little slow early so she'll have a little stress free par after driving in the left rough so she'll be just fine all right so shook stays at one under par last year was a perfect example she's just such a good player in truster skills I think about putt after putt that she made last last year as well I mean certainly ball striking was solid but she had some it was a pot on five that really kind of took command of the day think we should get used to seeing that Grace Kim has hoisted an LPGA trophy happened last year in her rookie season she's played really well this year some disappointing ends to some events but second shot coach at A&M happens to be married to Stacy Lewis too yeah she said she's felt very comfortable with him on the bag in the few lpj events she has played because everybody knows him yeah so it's that Comfort level of just can follow anybody but he was with her most of the way that last day as I remember Grace Kim the young Aussie at the 14th she's had a couple of 54 hole leads this year one she shared with Hannah green who went on to win at Wilshire the other has a nice angle to this right hole location get it to stop she's looking at the TV tower you could definitely see how that left part of the tree overhangs she does like to hit a little bit of a fade I mentioned certainly her coach and being just to get the three under Start nice good putt there birdie putt for a DT a shock at 16th now that's what she does yeah this one got a little bit of speed to it down the hill yeah no lip needed there right in the heart and Ulin at 16 her playing portners rolled their long ones in we'll see if she can do the same yeah you're the one who's the one who's hit it the closest and now you're standing over it like I've got to got to finish the hat trick here not quite able to do it should have a clear shot she ly was over there ear ear just one under on around early start sound like it came out pretty clean ah nice I'd say better than clean could clean it up she yeah okay so maybe it's the right rough you need to hit it have to adjust for that but into the winds as Amy mentioned little hold off sought off finish there looking anxiously yeah that's a wonderful place to putt from straight up the hill from there cernek for birdie this is a pot that we've seen players struggle with Maya three putted but Adella okay always tough really easy to if you get too steep to hit this a little bit heavy see if she can get this out clean oh I'd say she did that's a good one to beautiful shot there Grant
