In the log jam at -53. Had a few pars in R3 on birdie holes. R4 had 3 putts that just stayed out for one reason or another.
Had one phantom break in R2 that puzzled me but beyond that the greens were subtle and tricky.
Hitting 9 iron into 16 in R4 was my highlight. No luck chipping of late.

Well played Jules. Is the Match play based on PGA points earned on the PGA or WGR for those on the PGA this year?

Finally put 4 decent cards together. One bogey all tourney, left myself a long curly one and 3 putted 😭. Overall played great and finally got the putter going. Left a few out there and will probly be just short of the winner however as a former champion of this event i knew i play well round here and was looking to break a top 10 and secure a spot in the match play coming up so im happy. Got a cheeky Ace in rd2 on 17 which helped too 😄👍 Rd1 - 59 (-13) Rd2- 56 (-16) Rd3- 58 (-14) Rd4- 56 (-16) Total = (-59) Going to make you go back to XB1 if you keep shooting like that! haha, nice scores - I assume the XB1 is jealous right now?

Everyone should play on PS4 then!

Just love how default wind averages around 8 mph in a practice round but in the tournament hits me with 14 plus. Really not worth bothering with practice when that's the case. As long as everyone has the same experience..

As long as everyone has the same experience.. I just make sure when I practice I set the winds to High and it gets really close to the round settings.

As long as everyone has the same experience.. Default winds is basically random to me. Practicing default means nothing in that case. Could be high. Could be low. Let the computer decide.

Default wind changes direction and speed throughout the day. The tournament locks them in at the time of creation. So if you see them as high winds at least you can practice in them. In the end we all play the same conditions within a few mph and degrees.

-9 -8
-17 through 2!
Played solid through round one although a bogey on 17 hurt. Round 2 I was going along steadily at -4 through 8 and then i has my first ever albi on 9 to go -7. Back 9 I was making lots of pars and got to -10 and then the 18th happened. Approached shot push left onto the grass and bounced into the water, which then put me behind the stand and finished with double and cost me making the cut.
Talk about an up and down round!
Good luck everyone

In the end we all play the same conditions within a few mph and degrees. Winds should always be on default direction as stops multiple practice rounds on said direction and potential for mapping courses. The wind is unpredictable in real life. Setting it at west etc Takes out the jeopardy. Its bad enough competing against the short swing without having to compete against the short swing and ppl knowing exactly how much to loft a 4 iron to knock it stiff on a par 3 aswell

If someone really has the time to practice all 8 directions on all 4 pin sets, hell they deserve to win.
