-1 -8 -6 -7 -22 Pretty happy with that score given the course and the conditions. Played really well overall and made some great pars to help my score. Was -6 after 9 in round 4 after flopping in for eagle on the par 5. Was -9 on the 18th and drove into the water and made double bogie which is going to kill any chance I suspect. Played the 18th for +5 over the 4 rounds. Never want to see that hole again! No idea where -22 has me, tough one to read with the conditions. Hopefully top 10-15! Good luck to everyone apart from those that beat my score. Good arras, ya flamin' galah. My R3 has killed the pig a bit for me which is what you get for playing tired, tipsy golf, but I'll come out fighting in R4 tonight Adam. Will play your ghost for R4 see what I can muster.

I see our favorite French Vodka drinker has played and shot -34 with a -12 in R4, must hit it straighter when he's tipsy. We also have a machine sighting on the leaderboard.

Hold on a second gang. Such short memories you have about tough conditions! Lest we forget the classic Rd 4 at Shawnee Creek, KLM Open 2016 <<thread Anyways, I think -2, -7, -9 for -18 after three out here. Got off to a VERY SLOW start (thanks HB) with a triple on #3. Rest of the 54 holes was just hitting it to 15-20 feet as often as possible and hoping to make some uphill ones. Eventually they started going in when the green speeds increased. Couple eagles helped. Some silly bogies mixed in, like one on #9 par 5, where it took me 5 shots to reach the green. In fairness Rd 3 conditions I thought were really good and quite balanced. Was able to shape some fades/draws and hit the ribbon fairways. Winds were strong but not all headwinds and I imagine the course played much more like the designer intended. Agree with SweetTeeBag that we should have these type events every so often. Maybe not once a month but every 6-8 weeks or so. The need to focus, keep a cool head and strong course management when the conditions are against you is a different challenge than what we are used to week-in and week-out, and I think it definitely has a place out here. Admittedly not my strength, you should see my graveyard of DS4's . Still, enjoyed it so far!

What’s your score after 3? A player of your quality should shoot -10/-12 out there no worries. Make sure you have a look where my ball finished up on the driveable par 4 (think it’s the 10th or 11th). Good Luck.... -27 is my prediction for you.

Only -15 thru 3 after cocking up R3 half pissed last night mate. Hope you’re right! Teeing it up now.

Bah... feck!!!! Lost my swing a little coming home and dropped 2 shots in the last 3 holes to finish on -23... TWAT.
Should’ve walked away and got a drink for 5 mins after the tee shot on 16, but pulled one into the bunker left of the pin... should’ve laid up really. Squirted a chip out down the hill, and down, and down...
Off the tee on 18 ok tonight, but a fast DS left me with and insane break to try and ride to get up the top tier, and I coasted right round it and into the rough.
Should really be leading, but hey, it was a tough test. Cheers to the designer. I really enjoyed it. Nearly smashed stuff a couple of times, but a good solid test of ball striking.
Wp Josh Cassiday for your PS4 performance. Just couldn’t force you out.
I’m off for a large Vodka. Seems to be the drink of champions.

Might be high enough to get you Fed Ex points to join the Dirty Quad Dozen on the elite bash. Think I'll just end up playing tonight as I've got no shot of winning and wouldn't want to try and force birdies anyway. Shall try to get near -15.
Glad you enjoyed the challenge, maybe I'll attempt another toughie next year when I run out of games to play...….probably wont be any retaining walls this time though.
If only HB didn't do the tweak and the very firm firmness was left alone, that would have been fun with the runoff areas over the back of the greens as some pins you'd just have to play to the center of the green and use a slope instead of getting stuck on tiers in yellow slopes as is happening now.

Well played squire.... -23 is a bloody good score over 4 rounds on this goat track (@chrashbird)

Short story is I suck. Long story is I had hover putts every other hole! FTG!

Hell of an introduction to the PGA. -11 after 2, finished -18. I guess I should be thankful for the course and conditions as it helped hold scores down giving me a chance to make the cut, but man, I hope every week isn't this daunting. Definitely a wake up call to life on the PGA. 😊

Came out the gate with a beautiful +6 in round 1.
Bounced back with a nice -10 in round 2 to help salvage whatever is left of my first PGA event in a few years.
Lovely 16 shot swing from round 1 to 2. Ahh the joys of trying to play this game on XB1.

Not quite as big of a swing here, but went 74-62-66-63 to wind up on -15 for the week. The course was plenty challenging enough w/o the hurricane in R1, but it is what it is. On to next week.

Damn, that's some impressive scoring by coasterroyalty so far. -15 and no bogies after 2 rounds even after saying on "Whats going on" about the fairways being too hard to hit after watching Andres stream...…..then hitting 86 and 93%
Hopefully you had fun and enjoyed the grind when playing it for yourself. I was disappointed the wind ended up being 23 instead of 18-20, that was the gamble.
Good luck the rest of the way and looking forward to your victory speech next week if you win...…...just remember to say "Great Game"

I'm at the bottom in the PGA putting stats for a reason...still can't make anything over 6 feet. I think tee to green I actually played pretty good, but when you putt better in real life than in a video game it's going to be an ugly result. Finished -13 for the tournament. Should have been around -25
