knothead85 couldn’t have said it any better. The competition here is excellent and the banter is fun. I never thought when I started on the Tours back on TGC2 I’d be one spot behind moneyman273 in WGR, but here we are. I just hope my luck in the South Pacific continues.

Another crappy -8 in Rd2 to sit at -16 after two. Not a clean card with a bogey on the par 3 second. Should never bogey a par 3 imo. Shame on me for the bad tee shot.
Now we're on cut watch... will wait to see if I make the weekend or not.

I matched you at -17 Pleased overall, as my current goals are low. Just make cuts, and hope for a special 3rd or 4th round. PGA is a long ways away for me....... I also feel like I’m a long way from PGA but I do feel like I’m making progress. I joined the Euro Tour last season and had a made cut rate of 33%, this season I’m at 85%. I have a goal to get into the top 200 of WGR and right now I’m at 218. Personally right now I think it’s more fun to be where I’m at in Euro compared to probably missing the cut weekly on the PGA. Are you on PS4? If so, what’s your gamer tag? I’m 211 WGR and joined Euro last year so I’ll play against your ghost, been looking for a competitor on the same curve. Mine is “Sosigis” on PS4 if anyone wants to play my ghost. Anyone else around that 200 bubble on PS4, I’d ideally like a four ball to play against!

Played Tim's ghost on the Web tour and shot a 55 in the 2nd round...thought what the heck, playing well, might as well do my rounds! Well that 55 didn't translate at all on this course - struggled for a 65 that included me sitting at 2-under on the 16th tee. Managed to bird-bird-eagle to give me a fighting chance to make a cut.
2nd round I need to shoot 10-under. Wasn't exactly on fire and as I approached the 15th tee at 5-under, I was feeling some crazy pressure. Had to bird out and eagle the last. Then the magic started - I just kept hitting great approaches or pressure putts - sometimes both and sat on the 18th with a 14 foot bender for eagle and a safe bet to make the weekend. Hit the putt and puckered up the ole butthole as it looked to be missing high...but bless Tim's break counting putt technique heart - I'll be darned if the break didn't start to take and that ball dove into the hole for an eagle.
Magical 61 and sitting at 16-under which will put me into watchers mode now. Still might not make the cut but I've got a decent chance.
Always fun to play when there's huge pressure on the line - most of the time I cave but this time we pushed through and accomplished the impossible. Going to go wake up my wife and tell her all about it! (ha!!!!!)

Welp, 65/64 (-13) is gonna result in being cut in my first tourney up here. Can't say I'm surprised as I figured it would take me a couple rounds to get comfortable with the wind situation. Didn't play bad, only making 1 bogey in each round, but definitely a lot of room for improvement. Should be comfortably in the no-demo zone so happily moving on to next week.
Good luck to those who made it.

I finished up last night. I only had one bogey all tourney, but it was for going in the water on the short par 5. I was counting on a bird there, and only other major mistake was paring the 18th on a 3 putt. With that said I was very consistently just not good enough. Approach shots leaving me too many 20+ ft birdie putts, and when closer, just missing high or low. Final numbers:
-9 -8 -8 -9 for a -34 tourney. Happy I made the cut, but just not doing enough to earn a nice paycheck.
See you all next week!

Three missed cuts in a row since a 2nd place finish to a now-PGA player. When it’s good, it’s great. Glad to see 140+ competitors in an event and some familiar names. Better luck next week CoinHen77!

-5 through 13 on R1. Was frustrated at myself so I took a break and came back to it later in the evening. Birdied 4 of 5 to finish -9. I caught fire so I decided to play the rest of my rounds then and there. -14, -12, -13 for a total of -48. My best Euro performance all season probably, which is extremely satisfying after weeks of barely making cuts. Currently top on the PS4 leaderboard. Certainly have a chance to win overall, but I'm confident that I'll get that third promotion mark and move up to the PGA tour for next week. Good luck guys!

Congratulations LFCallum! A PGA promotion is grounds for a party at the 19th hole. Even better, a bash at the beach of Corozal Nacional.

Made the cut at -17.
Next round was a -7 that featured 3 bogeys and a lot of frustration.
Final round was a lot of fun though and I put up a -15, felt really dialed in.
-39 for the event I’m guessing will be somewhere near top 25 but definitely out of the top 10, which I’ll take for the first week with a beefed up field size.
Enjoyed the course this week and saw a couple newer ones that I like are coming up on the schedule in the next few weeks. Have fun out there
