Boy Gabby Lopez On Fire early she loves this golf course five birdies and a bogey to here very accessible whole location soft conditions defending champ Brook Henderson to the E that it was important to get off to a hot start second birdie in a row there on

The eighth hole went wire to wire last year Ali Ying won three straight years 20 through 22 here she is at the [Applause] eth not going to see too much of Rose in the early part of the year she’s going to return to her studies at Stanford after

This that’s well done Green’s running about 12 on the stim golf course in good condition hello there brings back a lot of nice memories for me being back out here walking these Fairways and I know that even though Brook shot came up a little bit short these greens are

Rolling at 12 on the stim so are pretty speedy and if you had been above the hole it would have been been incredibly fast been a steady P there for [Applause] Brook you getting used to seeing her in the spectacles Morgan she put those in [Applause] Canada back at the eighth second shot

For Cheyenne Knight location today toed on the right side one of the tougher whole locations to get it close at the eighth this is Cheyenne Knight for birdie just a little bit of left to right break here in this one how about the greens at Lake Nona

Players have been raving about them yeah they’re just pure they have been every time we’ve played here the staff here does a wonderful job getting this golf course in shape and I mean there’s nothing better than putting on loves it here as a win and Paige McKenzie’s watching her her at

10 just 125 yard remaining has a nine hour but got away from her to the right short 14th it’s where we find Rose Zang organ how about the season she put together in 2023 on the Amer and professional level I mean you think about her we weren’t even she wasn’t

Even on our radar here this year this time last year and uh think of what she was able to accomplish incredibly impressive 13 to herself Zack a f away thank you yeah safe shot there feeds into that guy to go all the way off the green and leave a very difficult

Chip Shot here is rang at the 14th she’s playing hookie this week she had classes last week in Stanford but uh getting this week off it’s a part of what of game that she’s been working on a lot her putting change Putters been changing grips and again just fooled on the speed

You leave a putt like that short it is always found that the the right flag is much more accessible yeah good CH should be a birdie for Brooke I think what we’re seeing today Tom is maybe who’s still just a little bit Rusty and like Allison played in the

Grant Thorton Invitational so you it’s only been five weeks not really an off seon not really enough time to take a break and then get really prepared Championship here make sure the go course was in really good condition for the best players in the world well done good up and down for

Brooke over at the 14th this is the second for aaka pay played late Sunday like a month in a row the spring and early summer last year Morgan and because of a lot of shots like this she has just really consistent game as fast as these greens are you

Want to try and avoid leaving yourself above the hole as much as possible but doesn’t quite get it to spin like they were looking for there Pig yeah well done may just hear a little bit of construction noise in the background they’re building a Monster House near that 13th it’s absolutely

Massive Nelly for a birdie yeah moving from her right to left could use a good strike on this she’s had a couple struggles on the green today just when you leave yourself above the hole it’s tough to be aggressive have to to be much more tentative and

After the three putut on the last hole a big part of that team especially in the team room as a leader and uh we were certainly happy to have her on that team and and these players they don’t they don’t have a lot of time there’s there’s another Soul Cup coming this

Fall and that’s on especially all the American and European Minds you said it was a mostly quiet room she was one of the more vocal ones right metal play this is food away for birdie at 14 just seems very CH and crol isn’t he La guy yeah giant Knight for birdie at

The ninth she hit it oh yeah well done couple under par here is one of those players Morgan we were talking about wasn’t in this event last year now number one in the world Lilia Vu truly amazing the season she put together last year I mean two

Majors that really stood out for me got to pay attention even on these short putts can have a decent amount of break good solid stroke there new putter in the bag for Brooke a lot of new clubs in the bag that TI on for the CME Group

TOUR Championship yeah just the week for Thanksgiving sweet swinger Amy Yang longtime Orlando [Applause] resident so well done Jack for coming here getting that up and down in style Under Pressure let’s see if Lilia can convert for birdie get them involved later in life they will be very thankful that they

Have that under their belt Lydia Co known a resident this for a bud oh no is that right on the edge not going to fall just a little bit left of the flag yeah no problem there Bo that right side that you mentioned Karen it’s okay she played at the Grand Thor

And finished second with Cory Conners so short off season for her and a big change with her golf bag basically changed the whole in 2022 when Danielle Kang rallied to win here at Lake Nona she talked about how much much she had practiced in the cold that winter in

Vegas and it has been pretty cold this winter in Vegas as Well it was it this event to 12 and Ali Ying to tie the lead good place to putt from here up the hill when she putts well good t-shot here from Rose chance to get it to three under par so this is a new putter in her bag

She said she’s still trying to figure it out she’s made a couple good putts though today Tom the two par Theses here your two holes on the back nine the par 3es it’s about as cool as it is for him to get to play with Nelly Corda former

Number one in the world here’s her second just 72 yards better trajectory on this if she can control the spin well done that’ll be a similar place to where we just saw Brooke whole location today on the 16th front right this looks like it’s drifting a little bit to the

Right that’ll be all right good spot to putt from 13 Hing on the te yeah sensible shot that’s a good t- shot there good chance for a two haven’t seen too many birdies here so far yesterday felt like a DAT at Lake mered though it was chilly yeah another good one there Lydia

Is a member at Lake mered and the Olympic Club so you got a couple of good options no wins for Nelly last year took about six weeks off with a lower back injury but nine top 10 and it was this club wasn’t it yeah she’s been very

Close and she looked at her stats and said look I she hir a putting coach back on the 13th Hall Ali Ying winner of the Kroger Queen City championship in 2022 qualif qualifying C for this Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions we’ve seen a few players just misjudged speed

Coming down the hill there which is understandable cuz it’s pretty quick been a good day so far are tied for the lead Tracer technology presented by Progressive Insurance so smooth looks like a good line asking for it to sit which it’s going to just drifted a little into that

Lil AV Vu for birdie at 12 just missed one at 10 that’s more like it so back to even par with consecutive birdies she just has such a simple putting motion not a lot of movement straight back straight through repeats it exactly the same every time

Yeah the world number one it’s got quite a good lead there 7.94 average I was talking to our coach Brett letterer coming into this week he said I think she’s comfortable there comfortable being number one is that going to hang I was going to say that’s right on the edge yeah it’s Living

Dangerously but if it stays there she’s got a great look that began with Danielle Kang winning here and here’s Danielle for birdie 14 that takes her into a tie for third she loves to take she likes to kind of hit softer shot she likes to

Take a lot of extra club and choke up a lot on her clubs that one how much did you feel Karen that how much did you feel that grain affected putting on these greens a little bit but more more towards the summer oh nicely done there I think right now they’re so overseed

And it’s they’re just not as much this time of year 2022 she 67 to open the week ended up finishing [Applause] third and our leader at the 18th AKA food away second shot shorten the hole a little bit by taking it up the left side off the T whole

Location is accessible close to that right side but that’s a wonderful place to put from on leading Cruise Lines you go to the Caribbean Mexico Alaska Europe all you have to do is hold it first that’s that’s the hard part that’s a small caveat there yeah shy Knights hit

A safe shot to the right the left of the hall at the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions let’s go to the ninth and Gabby Lopez hopes is her final effort of the day and it is good birdie to finish for Gabby Lopez it’s in the

Rough div is angled to the right of the green my lenses are gone so hard to control it looked like it was sitting down pretty good but that was well done so she’s in with 67 this is food away this would be for the low score in three years at Lake Nona

65 yeah what a round of golf indeed Danielle Kang at the 15th she’s made three birdies in her last four holes how about four out of five because it’s it’s just a much easier part up here at it kind of like that yeah yeah that’s good almost the opposite

Direction little bit steep looks like she’s got the face open trying to get it up in the air I didn’t need all that spin just a bit of a variable that uh mhm straight up the hill here for Brook it just wiggled at the end didn’t

It so just going to be a three and she will remain at three under par hell you for the birdie up the green here I think there’s not a huge amount of room in certain parts of the screen back on the tea at the 17th with Nelly cter 8. to this Hall

Today it’s on a very nice line little Club 12 me she likes it ah she was she was tremendous she’s just very steady she’s got a very steady demeanor personality golf game and she’s a bit of an old soul sometimes I forget just how young she is

Leona Maguire makes her US base in this area and practices here at Lake Nona it is a beautiful practice facility Tom obviously a wonderful golf course but this is the 16th and it’s Lydia Co Lydia started working with a new coach last fall certainly played well at the grant Thorton invitation and route

To Victory with Jason here’s Brooke she’s got 144 little bit of a Downs slope here there does appear to be a bit of a hint of Breeze helping here with the shot should suit her eye likes to get it fall a little bit left to right well

Done that’s going to be a quick putt from above the hole that did not hit the stick I don’t think until the very end she’s not going anywhere Danielle Kang birdie at 17 nice bounce back after that Miss poot on the previous screen so just a bunch of

Birdies for Danielle on this back nine had some good finishes at the end of the year including a third in Korea and then as you mentioned she won with Jason day the Grant Thornton Invitational a little Bittersweet after not having qualified for the CME Group TOUR Championship on the same Golf

Course Rook curled one in Nelly did too she’s got a good bit of work to do few mon away at the Four Seasons Resort third shot at the par 4 18 for Daniel Kang look like she scooped that a little bit I think that should stay on the green she’s watching it

Carefully Danielle Kang has this for her par playing with a good pound Markus Allen today the Great Hall of Fame football player Marcus gave her a note before she went to play KPMG women’s PGA 2017 over good pal Marcus Allen we do have some groups finishing

Up over on the nth newly title newly renamed Dow Great Lakes Bay Invitational now the Dow champ chionship won it with Elizabeth zal uhoh she had a tremendous spring last group at 17 yeah shy and nice on the tea just seen anuka hit a good one try

And get inside Ana’s Mark and she’s done that that’s a really good t-shot best of the day and it should be a guaranteed bird some encouragement at the end of the year by how she played all over the world yeah no question I think one of the most impressive shots of the year

Was the shot she hit on 17 yeah at tibron in the grant Thorton Invitational on way to victory that was just tremendous was cool to hear a bit of a struggle on the 18th for Ali Ying will drop that in for a bogy still a good

Start just makes what aaka did even more than impressive are eligible to play have three of the top five from the Rolex rankings but but only those and so when you see the Jatan gar practicing on the back of the te they’re not in they

Won in 2021 who are great in other areas and when they have a little moment like that they savor it Lilia cleans up for par
