I'm certainly looking forward to playing my own course on the Euro Tour next week. Just hope I don't miss the cut! Can you give me a few tips on your course I don't want to be in the same situation next week. It's certainly exciting waiting to see if you've made the cut but I would rather have the excitement at the other end of the leaderboard.

Not liking this wind patch. This is my course, and I never would've imagined people going this low. Even in my practice rounds after designing it, I never broke 60 because the winds were almost always up. When they're dead like this, it takes away half of the defense I planned for on the course. Oh well, hope you guys are enjoying it. I opened up with an out of my mind 56 and ended up finishing at -46. Played really well but I know the bounces a little better around here than most. Good luck to all. For the reason u stayed there designers should not be able to play a course they made themselves as it give a clear advantage. When designing the course i am sure you hit shot after shot in no wind to see if the holes were playable. Not your fault but definetly a clear advantage. I am on the pga this week before someone says in moaning because u shot well. Course was good Tyler. Really had to plan your approach shots and the putting was certainly tricky, really enjoyed it. Good design and even better playing -46 on that course is ridiculous, congrats on the win. Tom I don't think you're complaining there, as you do raise a valid point on the advantage side of things, but I just don't think you can punish people for the long hours they put in to provide all the players with the courses we all get to play. I think getting to play a tourney on your own course is a nice reward for the effort that goes into the design.

Typical City fan, cant count, it was a 5 shot lead actuuuuuuuuallllllllly City fans in general struggle to count, but its quite convenient seein as theyre neighbours have won so much. think it all stemmed from there

Going to be the best finish in a while for me after a horrendous start to the season. Had a bad second nine in the third round, otherwise very happy with my play. Love the course. It's firm doe right and the speed is just right for the green size and slope imo... I liked how the landing zones were designed as pretty much every hole needed some thought on where to hit the ball. Nice one - theduke21 - No how about East Lake??

I see Tyler Duke has crossed the pond to abuse you all for a while. You can keep him over there for a while if you want.

Considering the fact that a super-firm setup with extremely slow greens is probably what I hate the most, my expectations for this tournament where quiet low. Especially after my disappointing performance last week. Started a practice round and was -1 after 12 holes. Thought it couldn't get any worse and started the tournament. What came next was beyond anything I could expect... -12 in Rd1 with 13 birdies and 1 bogey. Rd2 (-5) was a bit frustrating, but from what I can see on the leaderboard right now, it's not that bad to be at -17 after two rounds. This course/setup is a true test (for me at least), so I really hope I can stay within the Top20 after my final rounds. Rd3: 64 (-7) Rd4: 63 (-8)
TOTAL: -32 As said before, this was definitely not my favourite setup (but I liked the course; don't get me wrong). So I'm really happy with the way I played. With just a little bit more luck (quiet a few close putts, unlucky approach shots that were close to being perfect, etc.), I could have gone even lower, probably close to -40. But that's the game of golf, so I don't wanna moan. This result somehow proofs to myself that the start into the season was not luck and/or a flash in the pan. It seems I'm quiet close to compete with the best on TGCT, and I'll do my best to keep it like this (or even beyond).

Just managed to squeeze in my last round, an impressive 59 giving me final cards of -7, -3, -8, -12 which currently stands me at joint 15th. Needed that after last weeks DQ...

Congrats Tyler on an impressive win and total score, you're certainly hitting some great form right now. I just looked at the stats, you had 84 putts compared to my 100! I guess that's where the players at the higher end of the leaderboard made up shots this week. Ball striking didn't seem to be the most important aspect needed around there. Honourable mentions to Andi Smith for a solid 2nd place finish alongside the ever impressive Ian Sweeney

Feel pretty much the same way Edi, that i've reached a point where even on average weeks i'm still inside the Top 20 and on a good week i can compete with anyone. Happy with my first Top 5 of the season - onwards and upwards

I think I'm gonna finish dead last of the 70 cut survivors and I'm sitting here reading how you all missed this putt or that putt and I had a terrible round but I finished 4 rounds in -25 or better. Well let me tell you it's not much better at the bottom of the pile if I had holed all the putts I missed in the 4 rounds I would have been sitting at the top of the leaderboard. I'm just happy I made the cut on a course that took me all my time to get a ball to stop within 15 feet of the hole. Well never mind I've already arrived and had a practice round on next weeks course where I'm sure all my putts will drop and I just want to say "who's gonna be second" lol If you believe that you will believe anything.
