-13, -12 to be -25 at the half way stage... both rounds were wasteful. Parred a par 5 and lost some strokes to skating putts R1. Had 3 that didn’t take any break at all in the first third. Nailed a few putts though, so maybe evened it out.
R2 the skates weren’t there, but I left too many above the hole. Didn’t get my downhill putt adjustment going at all and consequently squandered some very good opportunities. Parred another par 5 but managed a couple of eagles and there you have it.
All set for mid table mediocrity!! Should at least make the cut this week though!!
Good luck y’all.

-60 for me, delighted with that after last weeks poor play. I seem to have found my swing over the last two days; it's taken a completely new sitting position to get some sort of consistency back. Not as comfortable as previously, but at least I'm not missing everything right as I was last week. Tempo was pretty solid, just a few fasts that may have cost me a shot or two? I played well throughout really, although I was a little too aggressive at times, leaving me with a lot of downhill putts. The putter was hot in spells; but cooled down in round four where I should have gone at least three or four lower than I did. Round two was almost perfect, just an eagle putt on 17 that decided to swerve and avoid the hole with a couple of inches to go: and a lip out at no speed on the eighteenth. Time to play the waiting game. Good luck all still to play. Sweet. Nice play! Congrats Brad. Not sure who would top that. Well except Mr. straight line Vodka dude.

Only 24 under after 2 rounds, -13 -11. Too many lip lickers to get anywhere near contention. Not sure what's up with the tempo lately but it's murder trying to avoid a fast downswing. Would be easier to defuse a bomb...

I'll be traveling for work for next 2 months or so. So this was my last tourney for awhile.
And I'm glad I am because I can't wait to get away from this game.
I've gone from arguably a top 20 player in the world to becoming complete trash the past 6-8+ weeks.
I doubt anyone has been randomly struggling more with tempo then me. I just can't understand it. I'm doing nothing different then I was before.
1 round no struggles with tempos...next round 20 mins later tempo is just flat out laughable. Been like this for weeks.
Anyways, I was having a couple rounds with very good tempo today...so I decided to start up my rounds.
Unwanted fast tempos 24/7 round 1 for a -6. Probably roughly 30 of them. I decided instead of going to vomit after my round 1 exploits; I jumped right into round 2.
1st 10 holes...no fast anything tempos. Not a 1...and I was -9 thru 10. Thought I could make a miracle cut.
But wait...fast tempo approach on 11, very fast tempo on 12 and it's all over. +1 my last 8 holes with just disasterous tempo including a lovely very fast off 18 tee. Splashdown.
I just can't comprehend it. I did everything the same during all 36 holes. Same controller, same pressure, same back and thru swing, etc., etc., etc. I can't feel the difference. The word frustrating just isn't a strong enough word.
Well good riddance to this game for awhile. I certainly need the break. Good luck to everyone while I'm gone!

I don't get the tempo issues either...it has to be server side issues just burping during some rounds and not others...or some swings and not others. I feel your pain because I've had the same issue since the first patch.

Round 1 in at -10. 😊😊
Played like a putz for the most part. Made my obligatory 5 on a Par 5. 😞😞
Putted ok at best.
Round 2 in at -13. 😏😏
Much better round all around. Missed a few makers here and there. 3 putted the short Par 4 after almost Thunder-Cocking it off the green. 😭😭
Made birdie after finding a fairway bunker in both rounds on the same hole. 😊😊
Go figure.
-23 thru 2. 😁😁

1st Rnd : -8 very average start that left me well down the field , knew I needed a good follow up. 2nd Rnd : -18 felt like I couldn’t miss this time round. Par on the first was my only non birdie outward , followed by birdie + 2 pars left me on -9 after 12 , then the fun began. Drove the 13th but left a 20+ ft swinger which sailed in for eagle , birdie on 14 then booooom ! Albatross on 15 + 3 more birdies for -18 & my best ever Tour round and a -26 total. I don’t really care what happens in the last 2 rounds 😊

Well if -20 makes cut I finished with third round of -11 and fourth round of -12 for -43 total. Happy to break 40 but could & should have been better.

Round 3 in at -17! 😳😳
Best tour round this season by far! Started with a par on 1 and had a few more sprinkled in. Had a few eagles. 😊😊
It's funny because I absolutely can NOT hit a ball anywhere near straight. I usually have a 5-10 yard pull give or take the lie. My click method I use to dictate how far right to aim was more or less spot on. 😏😏
Made a few long bombs and some curlers. 😊😊
Only feel like I missed 1 measly putt I should've made. 😁😁
-40 after 3! 😌😌
Hope to not sh%$ myself in the last and get my lowest total score yet this season! 😊😊

Played two rounds at -9 and -13 to be -22 at the halfway point. Played the full shots trying to hit the top of the feedback circle. Very different and not at all used to it, so I was adjusting as I went. Lots of fast downswings in there, so adjusting for that. Even when trying to hit the top of the circle I get the loud *thump* of hitting the top of the plastic, but 1/2 the time the line is still only 2/3 to 3/4 of the way up the circle and you can often then see the recoil line coming back. Not sure how much firmer to push up on the downswing to get that line to the top as the harder I tried to do that, the worse the fast downswings were. I had a like 2-3 full shots where I didn't think and had a normal swing, but 90% of them I was going for the full line, so it is a work in progress. Very herky jerky and feel like I am trying to manhandle the swing instead of grooving it. Putts I stayed with my normal stroke and you can see the difference as those are all 2/3 of a feedback line.
Made a charge of -5 over the last 4 holes to race in and feel safe within the cutline. 2nd round I started to get it under control with the revamped swing, but lots and lots of work to do as it was a ton of adjusting on the fly. Don't think the zombies helped the tempo, but it was likely my fault on a lot of those fast tempos.
I have my rounds saved on the PS4 hard drive and will try to get them up here if anyone even cares when I get home from work tonight.
