Ok, it's time for the final session of the P&G Championships. The senior women.
After night one, Ragan Smith was leading by 1.3 points over Riley McCusker. She's got a comfortable lead, so she really just has to stay the course and keep hitting and she'll probably win.
Night one was a bit of a splat-fest for the seniors, so it will be most interesting to see if they've gotten it together for night two.
So come on in and keep refreshing the page every 10 minutes or so for all the good stuff.
Watching this Randy Parrish guy dance on the international feed is pretty entertaining.
