Well, got my first round in and it was an adventure in the best possible way. I see Todd has set the bar pretty high for a win this week, but after -12 to start all goals are within reach. I can't say that I was a huge fan of the course, but the challenge did end up holding my interest through the first round. Not sure how four rounds around here will go, but off to a good start. Have been riding a bit of a hot putter lately, so hoping that sticks around. I didn't putt particularly well, and made a few mistakes. My score is definitely beatable, just don't feel like you have to, a -41 or -42 would be just fine 😉 Best of luck 😎 I got Round 2 in, and the putter was still just on fire. I'm at -25 through 2. I don't know what has gotten into me this week, but hoping I can keep it going. I've got 2nd twice this year. The first was a tie where all I had to do was par the 18th, and I hit my approach into the water trying to make birdie. I actually knew all I needed was par as well. The 2nd time, Ron blitzed me in the final round at St. Andrews. Looking forward to contending and hopefully not blowing it this time, but you never know with my erratic results when I have a chance.

That's a pretty nice spot to be at the cut, well played. 😎 I've been 2nd once, and 3rd once, and would like to keep it that way 😆 Seriously though, good luck, I'm guessing you'll get to about -46, and comfortably sail by me.

I actually enjoyed the course, but not my play. I had some untimely tempo shots mixed with some poor putting. Although, the putts were burning the edges the results were poor.
Rd1 -5 with a double and 2 bogeys. Rd2 -7 with a double and a bogey.
-12 at the cut. I should be right on the bubble. +7 on 5 of my 36 holes took me from a very nice 2 rounds to a very disappointing 2 rounds. I'll wait to play my last two rounds if I make the cut. Good luck all.

It's kind of tightly packed but looks like -8/-9 will be the cut line. I'm wondering if between the semi-controversial course and the simultaneous promo event there's less participation this week. Still under 100 entries as of this wednesday morning. I don't track it that closely to know if maybe this is normal at this point for a week that will end at the usual 115-120 but it feels low. I suppose this is partly why they say there's so many Euro slots available in the promo event.

I was hesitant to play my 3rd and 4th round seeing that I had a chance this week, but one must pull the trigger and deal with the results at some point. 3rd round started with a bogey after my tee shot ended up in the fairway bunker that has a giant rock blocking the next shot. I hit a swipe right flop out of there and ended up in the fairway about 70 yards out, but couldn't get up and down. Played decently the rest of the front 9, but was really starting to worry about posting -5 until I holed my second at the difficult #13 for eagle. One day I will figure out how to add highlights or post videos of those kind of shots. That shot got the train moving, and I made eagle on #17 as well to finish at -10. Finished off the tournament with -12 in what was a pretty ho-hum round 4 for highlights except that my putter was once again on fire. Think I have a real shot at winning this week.
The number to catch is -47 on PS4.

I never get time to practice before the events these days - especially not this week with the promotional event to squeeze in too. Took me a while to find my feet in the mountains, but managed to settle down with an opening two rounds of -7 & -10. Safely inside the cut, but will need to pick up the pace if I want to try and squeeze a top10.
Nice course, I likes variety. Hoping next week's won't require crampons tho...

My flatline at 4 promo marks continues. Loaded up R3 last night but my head wasn't really in it. Turned what was probably an easy -10 into a -6 with carelessness, not that it really mattered, I'd have needed a number lower than 10 to get back in the top 10 conversation. I'll collect a check and hold my marks, could be worse. I'll play my 4th probably tonight, speed golf style. It'll probably go much better LOL
Edit: Agreed with Stoney; he's probably got this one locked down. I'll be impressed as hell if anyone catches that. Well played, bud. Love seeing people take down vodka when he shows up LOL

I grinded over an 18 foot putt on the last knowing Vodka was the guy I needed it for.

This course is insane...in the best possible way. I played really poorly in R1 and shot -5. Then right around 10:30PM EST yesterday i remembered I had forgottten to play R2. I figured let's go ahead and bang it out, I didn't want the double strike due to laziness. -11 in R2 made me very happy, including an ace on the really long par 16th. Like dh-nufc said, the variety is great, but I don't think I could do this every week. Great shooting stoneysooner, keep it going.

2nd missed cut in a row for me. Could have probably used about 5 practice rounds here with notes but of course I went in cold and the elevation ate me up. Very fun course though, just a shame I couldn't enjoy more of it.

Not that I have any chance of finishing respectably, but here's how my fourth round started: Missed birdie from 8 feet on 1. Missed birdie from 5 feet on 2. Missed birdie from 12 feet on 3. Missed birdie from 13 feet and par from 10 feet on 4.
Also missed a 7 footer on 8.
