Note: Accidental scheduling issue in-game as I put this week and next week's events in the wrong order - we're going to play the Omega Masters next week - Schedule on www.tgctours.com reflects that now - sorry for the inconvenience.

First to the tee it would appear this week. So after a stellar performance for me 2 weeks ago in the Denmark tournament and a T-10 finish I choked last week and missed the cut by 1 shot!! Bye bye little green mark. Tried to get something going this week but just kept finding myself a little too far away on my approaches for any real chance at getting hot. I started the tournament off with a bogey which wasn't a good omen. Felt like I was on the brink of a great tournament the whole way around, hit almost every fairway and most of my greens but the putts felt like they were always in that 20-25' range and I just couldn't make enough of them. Finished R1 at -7 which felt about 2-3 shots behind the field. Jumped right into R2 and had about the same kind of round with just 2 more putts dropping for a -9. So sitting at -16 through R2 and I have to feel like that is going to miss the cut by 1-2 shots again. Oh well. Getting to the point where these rounds don't really matter and I use them just as warm up rounds for my other societies now.

-14 for me, with a sad -5 in round 1 and a slightly more respectable -9 in round 2. With how easy this course was, that might be a double red for me.

May as well be thirty shots.

Started with 4 straight 2-putts, including lipping out from 7 feet on 4. Birdied 5 then missed an 11 footer on 6 that started with a phantom break opposite the break I saw near the hole. Missed another birdie on 7, left and eagle putt short on 8. With the way people are scoring I almost feel like going -3 through 8 in the first round knocks me out of contention. Birdied the next 2 but had a fast downswing on a sand wedge flop on 11 and it ended up going 50 yards instead of the expected 36-40. Missed a 12 foot birdie on 12. Birdied 13 but hit the bunker on 14. Put my approach on 15 to 5 feet and 3 putted for bogey. Birdied the last 3 holes to get to -8, so despite hitting every fairway and only missing 1 green (which I parred anyway) I'm on track to miss the cut.
Started the second round with 3 birdies and a par before missing a 10 foot par on 5. Lipped out a 17 foot birdie on 6. Shanked my tee shot into the bunker on 7. Missed a 9 foot birdie on 9.
Got things going on the back nine, starting with 2 birdies then holing out a pitch on 12 for an eagle. Birdied the next 3 but pulled a flop left on 16 and had it roll back off the green. Then left my tee shot on 17 short and didn't get the chip up the hill and bogeyed. Had to hit a wedge off the green on 18 since I put it on the front edge and the pin was on the back left behind the bunker, but birdied it to shoot -12 for the round, -20 through 2.
I actually missed 4 GIR in the second round, plus my first fairway, but shot 4 strokes better because of my putting. I think -20 is more likely to make the cut than not, but having 29 putts in the first round really kills any chance at top 10 this week.

The pin placement in rounds 2 and 3 are beyond silly.

Started the third round with a couple shockingly bad approach shots, then missed a 16 foot eagle on 3 by 7 inches. Birdied 4 then rolled over the edge of the cup on 5 and parred. Missed a 13 foot birdie on 6 that never broke. Missed another birdie putt on 7, a long double breaking putt, that stopped breaking about 3 feet before the cup, just enough to miss it high, then started breaking again right after the cup. Approach on 8 was a couple feet short of making it up the hill so I settled for birdie. Birdied 9 to get to -4 at the turn. Missed a 14 foot birdie on 10. Birdied the next 2 then went bunker-bunker on 13 before using the big right slope as a backstop on a flop and tapping in for par. Kind of a ridiculous pin position on 14, ball was right on track then took a 90 degree right turn less than a foot from the hole. Missed a 9 foot birdie on 16. Had the right line on 17 but left it a couple feet short. Missed an 11 foot birdie on 18, finished at -7 for the round. Would have to shoot a 58 in the 4th round to make the top 10.
Started the fourth round in the same way, missing a 13 foot birdie on 1. Birdied the next 3 then hit the tree and ended up in the bushes on the left on 5 and missed an 11 foot par putt. Birdied 7, missed the green with a slow downswing on 7, pulled my tee shot on 8 into the bunker and had my 3rd shot roll back off the front of the green. Missed a 14 foot birdie on 9. Missed a 10 foot birdie on 12. Missed an 11 foot par on 14. Birdied the next 3 then missed a 7 foot birdie on 18 and finished with a -6, -33 overall.
Had 29 putts in the first and third rounds. Keeping them to, say, 25, would have gotten me a top 10 spot. Could have hit better down the stretch too.
