[Music] now at six one of the best rounds we’ve seen Silva on the T of 11 some players go for the layup to the top of the hill some players try and smash it as far as they can down the Fairway lrose stand still more like Stand and Deliver San after hitting one of the Guardian trees cans the pot she’s on fire Silva sarin another birdie nobody knows what Silva’s doing right now well I know what solon’s doing setting herself up for a birdie on the 10th and a great caught by henna evina looking to get up and down save the par and that’s going to be wide and a little deep evina for par this has been some of her struggle Zone in previous years big putt for her coming back and she gets it [Applause] lrose the 13th want to get past that pine tree henna can reach the pin from there on evalina just in those four holes henna goes deep henna sits at 4 can she too get to five yes Hanna from Circle Edge a three-way tie for third and what the wind was doing Silva comes in two behind evina at the moment a t-shot off of 15 sainin there are so many possibilities of what can happen there’s a lot of OB but there is that chance that you can pipe every single shot Silva bringing it now within just one stroke I can’t even imagine what it would be like for Silva sitting on the sidelines of 18 seeing that lead card come in and play the hole and then to go for a playoff evina not taking advantage looks like she’s lining up a sidearm which is going to finish to the right and she hits the basket after the skip evina checks up she has the tap in par she has a one-stroke lead the T of 16 this is heading right to the pin and over the top just inside the circle at this point she needs to make every putt she needs to give every putt a run Silva is hunting from the Chase card Silva out of bounds a hard kick to the left she’ll go to the Drop Zone henna a hard kick to the right and that keeps her in bounds Silva sits one behind evalina and likely a bogey at best coming for her on the 17th she’s going to be taking herself out of Birdie range from back there sarin from the Drop Zone trying to get up and down and save bogy and she should do just that evina setting up like she’s going for it henna pitches is over sarin in for the bogey lrose for par very impressive day she’s put together out here plenty of birdies just the one mistake and right now she’s up two spots into solo fourth place Solin needs to put this inbounds she’ll have a putt for Birdie solanin on the 17th puts it right up the middle henna teeing off on the 18th another huge drive for henna sets herself up nicely to attack this whole for Eagle s in there is so much action going on and she is still holding on to that lead and it’s looking promising at this point Silva from the low left side of the Fairway forced to pitch out can I play from that area Can I some um take from where you enter this is also a change from what we’ve seen in previous rounds yeah this has been casual throughout the weekend however because it has intensified so much they have slightly altered how it has to be played and clearly evina didn’t know the rule so lay up under the pinch she be cing a par hence we see sarin throwing her third but catching up with henna throwing her second trying to bring Eagle into play the last few days she’s gone over the basket and today she’s just inside the circle uphill eagle look sarin’s four fourth can she get to the pin yes she can and she hits the basket unreal sarden almost throws in for birdie from nearly 300 fet what a weekend Hannah has an eagle look if she converts that will force evina to need par or better for Eagle she gets it oh my goodness Terry it’s been a a 5050 chance if henna could make a putt this weekend the even the fact that she’s in the conversation today steps up the most crucial cut of the weak can it that putt forces her best friend to get par or better otherwise she’ll get past her unreal sarin gets that one to fall in currently in third place a clean Drive is NE needed that’s off to the left and we had this in the conversation but not from this player henna making moves from the Chase card it’s up to evina evina just needs the par to hold off her good friend henna who’s charged from the chase evalina’s third this is the safest shot option that evina has just outside of circle two she’s sitting with less than 75 ft to the pin trying to pitch it right next to the basket a tap in wins her second major of her career and that should do it own is already celebrating for evina henna watching from the sidelines and to become a two-time major winner Aina solanin your 2024 pdj Champions Cup presented by Bushell winner evina [Applause] [Music] Sal I was so nervous whole round and like last four holes I was shaking and watching all the scores Silo

mistake evina talk about what were feeling in that moment when it kicked off to the left yeah it was bad shot but luckily it didn’t went that deep today but I was thinking about sidearm but yeah I
