I’m gutted. I played really well the last two weeks, and just could not play these greens. Nice shots turned into bad shots. I tried to play for the action on the green, but when I played right of the hole to allow for role out I’d get a slow and land off the green. Play left ...fast and same result. Hit a nice shot and roll off or miss the putt. Very disappointed as this course just didn’t fit me at all. Good luck to the rest of u and see you next season. -7 -5 -12 at my last cut! sh%$! No way... you were having a run for the ages!

A couple of wasted rounds to start this week. First round I battled with my tempo and grinded out a -7 with 5 birdies and 1 eagle. Played safely most of the way round due to my tempo.
Round 2 was a different story, felt really good and was -5 after 9 and 7 under after 11 and then par’d the last 7 holes to most likely have a missed cut. Found the water on the gettable par 5 18th off the tee and had to settle for par. Think that may cost me the cut.
Excellent course so thanks to the designer and good luck to everyone yet to play, hope you shoot -13 😉

Waited all the way to the second hole to screw up my short putts, 3-putting from 14 feet with a lip-out on the 7 foot par. Birdied 5 of the next 6 holes before bogeying 9. Missed a 13 foot birdie on 10. Sliced into the water on 12 and bogeyed, I had a 60-70% lie from 38 yards and sent a 42-yard club over the green. Slow downswing on my approach on 13. Another slow downswing off the tee on 14 which resulted in me putting the shot 80 feet long, 3-putted for bogey. Fast downswing off the tee on 15 into the rough, second shot into the bunker, didn't hit the shot hard enough, 3-putted for double bogey. Left my approach shot 68 feet away on 16. Finished with another 3-putt on 18 for a 70 overall, putting me second to last on the leaderboard. I had made 8 of 9 cuts through the Portugal Masters, with a top 10 and 3 other top-26 finishes, and the last 3 weeks I haven't even been close to making a cut, finishing 114th and 127th the last couple weeks, with this week probably not any better.
EDIT: second round I actually started -6 through 9, then sort of fell apart on the back and finished with a 62.

I just realised this was a Mayday course. I take everything I said back, this course sucks, can’t believe this goat track got approved!
Only joking bud, great course!

I hate it when that happens! -12 is probably 10 spots higher than I expected it to be this morning, I give us around a 20% chance of making the cut. Which means I'm going to have to play my rounds because I don't really get the time after Thursday night, and then in all likelihood get cut anyway! Maybe I'll play one now and then see how it's looking tomorrow night...
Didn't think it would get to -16, those greens are tricky. -14 is safe, -13 looks a good chance, -12 has an annoying glimmer of hope but will probably be taken out by the Watchers sometime tomorrow.

I already counted more then 12 players who have 1 round played that should drop us -12's. I'm pretty confident it will be -13. I'll keep watching, but feel the writings on the wall.

Still feeling disappointed with myself, played my first two rounds earlier this week. Was really frustrated with the way I was playing and was sitting -12 on the 18th of round 2. Convinced myself I needed to try a hero drive for eagle because I let myself start thinking the cut line would be -14 minimum. Well you can guess what happened, plunked it in the water, had to tee off again and still managed a bogey. If I had just played smart I’d be heading into the next round of the playoffs and instead I’ll beat myself up for a bad decision. Bad play is easier to swallow than bad choices.

Finished up the week just a little short of what the winner will likely finish at. Missed a few makeable putts over the 4 rounds, but played pretty solid and hopefully did enough to get into the Top 10. Finished at -43. Great course, and great start to the playoffs.

Awesome course, possibly my favorite in the game so far. I just loved the look, very creative and the greens and approach shots were tough but fair. Just excellent. My play....not so much. Managed a -31 not sure how, had a lot of bad swings and missed a lot of short putts. Must’ve got a lot of good bounces. Best of luck for those left to play.
