Oh links how I've missed you.
Anyway, while I had some intermittent tempo issues, other than a dead-straight 18 footer on 4 I just overthought I couldn't seem to miss a putt in the first round and finished with a 55.
Second round I birdied 1 and made a tough par after a bad tee shot on 2, then my second shot on 3 was left of the green and I sent a flop way over and had to settle for par when I'd tapped in 4 foot eagle in the first round. Parred the next 2 and lipped out a 9 foot birdie on 6. More pars followed by a missed 7 foot birdie on 9 to be -1 at the turn. Barely missed a 17 footer on 11. Was having trouble with the wind, more than I usually do, but even when I was getting reasonably close my putts weren't dropping like in the first round.
I parred fifteen straight holes before birdieing 17. Finished with a 68, 13 shots worse than the first round. Honestly, not having a bogey in that wind is almost an accomplishment in itself. Still somehow 1 shot back on PC.

Back to back -7’s for me. The second round is the best I’ve played in a long, long time. The flat stick is finally back after a couple of weeks of trending up and that resulted in a 32 footer and 46 footer being holed in the second round.
Would of been an 8 under bogey free round until I got nervous on 18 and dropped one.
Hopefully -14 holds on for the cut. The second round conditions were brutal so I think I may be in for a shout but we’ll see.

Looks like my track record of a missed cut, followed by a great performance will continue! Had it cookin on the front nine, starting out -8 through 7 and then survived a couple bad shots on 8/9 to save par. Back nine was a bit rough around the edges, with a bunch of barely missed putts, including a a 5 foot birdie putt on the par 5 15th, that i didn't pay close enough attention to. Finished strong going birdie, birdie on 17/18 for a -13 through one. Then came round two....
When I saw the very high winds I knew I was in for a long round. I still don't know how some of you guys play BETTER in high and very high winds, but to this point it's definitely my weakness. Surprisingly I felt like I played pretty damn well with only one bogey on the card and a -7 total for -20 at the cut. Even with that, there were a lot of strokes left out on the course, including the par 5, 15th biting me in the ass again with a missed short birdie putt.
Feeling pretty good about where i'm at and just have to hope the very high winds keep the scores down in the second round.

I started with a -12. Then round 2 winds ate me up. Congrats to those who scored well in round 2. I have no idea how lol. Ended two rounds -14 🙈

Worst tournament of my Euro career. Could not get the flat blade going at all...just a horrific showing. Started off with a 6 foot birdie on 1 and ended up 3 putting it. Then missed 6 birdies from 10-12 feet away and ruined a rather solid round striking the ball. I was pretty much finished mentally at that stage and just bombed round 2 and ended up shooting -6 and +4 to miss the cut. I hate the very high wind rounds...just not a joyful round to play at all. On to the next week...

Mark me down as another one who played well in round 1 and struggled in round 2. Boy does the course play tough with those ramped up conditions...even though I have a tough time with very high winds I enjoy them getting thrown in here and there
-11 in round 1 and -4 in round 2, -15 at the cut. I feel cautiously optimistic it hangs on but it’ll be close.

What a @!$#ing waste... if you look up disappointment in the dictionary you'll find a picture of me.
Finally put a good three rounds together, with an -11 in the third round to be sitting pretty tied for first at -31. So of course, I get greedy and try to play my fourth round last night, when everything inside me was yelling to just shut it down for the night... The result? An abysmal -2 fourth round with a couple bogeys and no consistent swing to speak of... -33 for the tournament.
Finally had a chance for a top 10 or more and totally blew it. On to the next one, I guess.

Long uphill putts on the very fast greens in R2 got me, led to 2 bogeys and missing cut by one. Oh well, on to True Sim!

Hole 5 in round 3 destroyed me.
Drove the green, eagle putt somehow turned into a triple bogey.

Well, I thought I had gotten a double demo last week and been demoted.
Introduced myself on the KF boards and played the first two rounds Sunday which was a failure.
Went to check tonight and it turns out I only got one demo last week so I'm still breathing.
After six straight missed cuts I finally got the monkey off of my back and put together a decent tournament.
-6 -8 -11 -9
-34
See y'all next week!

Decided to try to finish up... 3-putted the second hole of the third round, lipping out a 6 foot par for my first bogey of the tournament. Missed a few more putts the rest of the round that I should have made but ended up shooting -10.
Started the fourth round missing a 13 foot birdie, but my putting for most of the round was great and I shot -13, to finish at -40 for the tournament. Think that's a decent shot for a top 10.

Hurts even more to see my name up there still tied for first on the leaderboard only to know it's going to plummet tomorrow...

I managed a -33 for the week. Four decent rounds but nothing exceptional. Will fall somewhere in the 30s, I’m fine with that. I cleared my demo mark from my embarrassment last week and can move forward cleanly.
