Transcript

Not in charge of course better. I good liked it to to have been a little bit more more equal in terms of the firmness on Thursday and Friday. I was a bit surprised at at how soft things were on Friday afternoon, especially as it got late in the day. But, the the weather also changes and, you know, like, it was a bit windy on Thursday. So so who knows? It's just you know, that's part of the game. We play an outdoor tier, and you don't know how conditions are gonna change, especially course conditions. And, overall, like I said, just Friday for me going out early, not being able to to shoot an under par round, that definitely hurt my chances. You know, I I think I started the weekend maybe 12 bad. So, to get within one was was a pretty good pretty good run.
