Anything less that -55 as the winner here and I'll be sorely disappointed.

Everyone ready for another installment of "Warhawk can't putt worth a damn"? First hole, 14 foot birdie putt, went right over the lip. Second hole, 16 foot eagle putt, actually looked like it went directly over the hole without even lipping out. Third hole, 11 foot birdie putt, went right over the lip. Sixth hole, 18 foot eagle putt, went right over the lip, then 8 foot birdie putt, lipped out. 12 putts in the first 6 holes and on a course as easy as this one with the scores people will be putting up that's almost enough to eliminate me from contention for the tournament. Did manage to one-putt birdie the next 4 holes, but then I missed a 7 foot birdie on 11, then a 16 foot birdie on 12, then an 18 foot birdie on 13 where I fortunately made the subsequent 18 foot par. Then I had a poor flop on 14 and missed a 17 foot birdie putt which was right of the hole with less than a foot to go and ended up 8 inches left of the hole. Hit every fairway and missed only one green in regulation in the first round and still only managed a 63. Then on the first hole of the second round I missed a 6 foot birdie. Actually made a tough eagle putt from 12 feet on 2 though, so that's something. And then I kept making tough putts, including a 43 foot eagle putt on 6. Well, for a while anyway, then I missed a 7 foot birdie on 9 and lipped out the subsequent 9 foot par, and an 8 foot par on 11. Then missed a 5 foot birdie on 15. I started the round -8 through 7 and finished with another -9 63.
Missed 6 putts inside 10 feet.
So that's -18 through 2 rounds, which normally would be a missed cut but with the kind of wind we've got out there might be safe.

Good lord, the wind in round 3 is like 20+ again!

Ended up on the beach on the par 4 4th of round 3 and finished the hole with a 9. Tried to pitch, flop, and hit it with a full lob wedge out, eventually had to hit it back down the fairway the other way. Might just withdraw and take the demotion strikes in protest.

-9 -10
-19 should make the cut. Left a few out there in the first round.
Third round is windy. Made an eagle on the 18th to finish -8.
-27 after three. With another round in the 64 or 63 range i might sneak into the top 25. Not more.

Sometimes it's very windy on the Australian coast. Sometimes it downpours in the Arizonan desert and causes a ball to skid on a chip and lead to Rickie making a triple. Mother nature does what she wants.
Fun fact: I chose Pebble cause the course they are playing IRL is called 13th Beach Golf Links, so I thought Pebble was fitting

That goes for shots into water or unplayables I thought so too...but I didn't get that option..dropped me in the same spot. Completely ruined the round and tournament for me

I liked the Pebble Beach pick and the wind should make it interesting because otherwise this course is very easy to score on.
