Well, I followed up my uninspiring, but very nearly -7 with what can only be described as a dog toss -2. Hit the ball quite nicely, and should have been 4 under with really good putting opportunities being thrown away. They dried up somewhat and I was stuck at -1 for some time. Had another slack handful of lip outs (1 actually went through 90 and stopped dead on the edge of the hole) ,but missed a fair few more putts for birdie, one of which was from 6ft. Got to -2 somewhere, gave it back almost immediately by putting back off the front of the 16th. Cue the 18th and had one of these that WASN'T with the putter. Summed it up. Started out Par, bogey and then this, which made me chuckle. Overall, -9 will make a MC for me. Called it. There's just something about the pace and construction of those greens that is playing hell with me. I don't usually leave too much on the table, but for how well I struck it and the chances I spurned, I would usually expect to be 8-10 shots better off. See you all next week. Might go practice my short game... Ditto! Certain greens I just can’t putt. Not sure what it is because it’s not the speed.

Not a bad thing it just caught me off guard (could have been the 4 bottles of lager I'd had by then)

Something about them that made me feel like I was putting on glass. It was weird. I felt like I had to ram the ball on them. I was probably about 6inch of pace off about 8-10 strokes difference by the amount I missed just low / short. Also had a few that just didn’t move at all, regardless of how careful I was with the read. All those were up hill if I remember rightly, and I hardly battered them past the hole. 163 or slower and I personally have all sorts of bother.

Fred admitted to using a Razer in ”fun rounds” but not on tour 🤔 At this level, how anybody could manage to play with 2 controllers so different in difficulty is beyond me. If he practiced full time with a DS4 maybe he’d get some wins.

Btw I told Régis that he should loose that controller and play with a DS4, he's good enough that he doesn't need to do that. Don't know if he would win or not, but at least he could play here!

I agree. Sadly, he’s obsessed with the fact that he believes that some people are cheating. He’s a talented player. Just use a DS4 😐
