I saw brighttail started this on Sunday so I guess I'll do the same. 65-61-64-64 = -34 I know it's early, but I got a feeling of actually contending for a win this week. Playing all my practice rounds on the Sunday pins helped me curb my expectations. On Friday, you have to go get it. Only made 1 bogey the whole week, and it was a silly 6 foot putt on a par 3 where I had too much speed and ran it through the break and hard lip out. My only holes of note was the 6th hole where I put my tee shot into the water trying to be brave thinking the 16mph would carry it. It turned out to be just crossing a little too much. I then bounced my 3rd onto the green (complete guesswork) and holed a 20 footer for par. I made a fist pump. I also put a 3W into the water on 18 going in two but salvaged a par. I felt like my final round 64 was a better performance than my Friday 61. I had the guts to attempt to go for the par 5 16th in two and pulled it off but was left with this.

-3 for me after two rounds. 71, 70.
2nd MC in a row. Not really bothered anymore. Couldn't hit my tee shots straight at all. They were hooking and slicing.

Neck and Neck for first 2 rounds. Can I maintain that? Alot to ask! 65-61 for me for -16 thru 2 rounds. Must be Top 10 at halfway? That first round is TOUGH!

Just had 2 great rounds to start the play offs. Round 1 (-11) 61 followed by a very nervy (-10) 62 in round 2, some of those pins were horrible. Going to practice round 3/4 because i may have a chance -21 after 2 rounds.

How comes you aren't playing in the R2D events Jules? Worked out a more mathmatical chance to win fed ex cup if i can sneak nearer the top going into the tour championship anyone top 5 will win the cup in that event. On the R2D id have to rely on the top 4 guys losing ground which didnt look likely.

I forgot you had won Bridgestone. How can i be so damn foolish haha

64-63-64-67 for me this week. -30 I never quite had a good feel on this course even in the practice rounds. It was a bit laggy for me, and I just couldn't make many putts on it. No excuses though because I had plenty of opportunities. This is maybe the first tournament all year where I look back and think I really dropped a bunch of shots on dumb decisions and not executing. I'm a bit frustrated but it should still be an okay finish. Maybe top 15 if I'm lucky. That 4th round is an absolute beast. I'd imagine there will be some over par rounds from good players to finish off. You just have to swallow your pride a lot of times on that setup. Good luck to all!

Personally glad to see the back of you Jules, week after week you take four or five off me round one and I can never close the gap, it was becoming a personal battle... Good luck over there, think I may just play for fun to see if I can break the jinx ?

I forgot you had won Bridgestone. How can i be so damn foolish haha It is okay, I was thinking the same. I thought you had to have a PGA tour card to play in the Fed Ex which is why some of those on the WEB.com tour, tho in the top 125 with points can't play. The Euro you don't have to have a card you just have had to win a euro tournament or a major and play in at least 12 tournies for the finals.

64-66-62-71 for -25. Round 4 was brutal and I suspect that wind is going to screw up a few peoples tournaments.
Considering I shot a +15 or something at qschool back in December i feel good about just being in the event - we will see if -14 makes the cut. Just trying to finish out strong and securing my card for next season.
