Pints are on me fellas!!
This course really challenged you to place your tee shots and approach shots well and then to putt consistently. I do not putt very well, probably because I go too much by feel while being way more analytical for the other shots, so that's usually my downfall. I also felt that I needed to shape approach shots much more carefully on Tobo, but the shot you intend and the shot you make are so often different. I caught some serious lightning in a bottle this week. Can't say I putted any better than usual but I think I managed the course well and made my approach shots more often than not.
I've been on the top tours since January and got the odd top ten or twenty finish but never even a second place. So I will say this; I think it really can be anyone's tournament to win every week. Good luck to all next week. It's been a nice stay but I'm heading back home for the next tournament.
Shout outs to Bradley, Brionne, and Nicolaj Ekholm for getting the other low scores in the other rounds. Additional shout out to Nicolaj for netting a top 20 in his very first tournament.
I think I gotta come over here more often!

Congrats Scott.
Pleased with my first Top 5 finish. Would have been annoyed had the winning total been around -30 as i left so many out there, but was never matching your/Bradleys scores

Oh, and I sat my family down and explained to them what I accomplished this week.
My son was diplomatically excited. My daughter said "When's supper?" My wife said "How about you go and reign victorious over the two baskets of laundry downstairs?"
My house is in full celebration mode.

Well done Scott and everyone else. I found it tough this week but glad I managed to make the cut and stay middle of the field by sunday.

Congrats Scott Great playing. You and Bradley were the clear standouts this week on a very difficult course. Also very well done to Robert Karlsson for the course design. It punished greediness, which I learned the hard way in round 1

Congratulations Scott on your first win! Well played!
Thank you for all the nice comments on the set up! I was expecting more controversy as the course is not set up to be "nice", but rather to try to trick you into making the wrong choice. I tried to make it play somewhat like real tournament golf can - a game of playing the smart shot and "missing" it close sometimes. Seems overall that worked pretty well. Met the scouring targets of wining score less than -40 and quite happy that a "safe" play, taking the 5-6 birdies easily available each round corresponds to a high place on the leader-board.
Some stats from last 2:
Rd 3. average score: 63.2 (-6.8) Low, as expected, since pins are more accessible. Moving day. Rd 4. average score: 65.1 (-4.9) Surely the 14mph wind imposed by the wind fix ha something to do with that.
