Another week of mixed feelings for me.
First round was like C'mon, only that? I played much better that those 67 shots The second was ok, I felt 65 reflects very fairly my play in that round The third. If any of you guys follow my ghost during that round, will be witnessing one of purest "Pablo's tournament rounds". Sitting at three over after six holes. Then a tenacious battle to end up shooting 72. The four or five bogeys I made were all due to bad putts by me, so I killed my own round. The fourth was another classical example of golfing by me. Cold putting to start, a couple of birdies, and suddenly, I hole out my approach for eagle in the 9th and my putter gets hot as hell, leading me to a good closing round of 62.
That sets my score for this week in -22, which is not bad. But could have been much better. And it is going nowhere.
Good luck everybody!

Didn't make the exemption but was not ready to get back to C anyways. I had a huge amount of putts rejected by the hole. Can this be caused by putting too much spin on the stick while swinging? Just could not by a bucket the entire tourney which is really odd for me. I could be in that period of controller break in where the stick tends to run away on you. The sticky and fast greens in round 3 lead me to a +4 there. I ended up finishing with a -7 for the week.

Only my second week playing on tgctours, playing CC-C on an exemption after a good few rounds at CC-D last week. Either this course is a lot harder or I'm just playing a lot worse, I wouldn't mind keeping the CC-C card, but I'm only at I think -9 through the first 2 rounds, not sure if that will be quite good enough this week.

Hey Pablo, I know it's early, but I'm surprised at how high the scores are so far. Only one sponsor exempt has even made par yet. Are the winds for round 1 that bad? Because that's the only thing that would explain it.

Because that's the only thing that would explain it. There's wind in both R1 and R2 - first 9 of R1 very tedious even if not strong. R2 though.....starts 3/4MPH in the first 4 holes and then it goes wild. 18MPH tops with 12/14MPH average R3 (so far - I'm at the 7th with my buddy) winds between 7 and 12MPH First two round Euro this week are easier than first two CC - that's funny

LOL I don't think you'll see a lot of double digits under PAR scores carded this week To me the trickier part of this week setups are the slopes on the greens - so subtle. Combine that with the winds, couple of tricky pin positions and the 181feet speed throughout the all 4 rounds and there you have it I'm worried for my friend Roberto Busatto

Time will tell.

Time will tell. Before I forget: watch out for the short game in R3 - wedges (on normal shots) bounces like craaaazy Also pitch shots - take into consideration 4/5 Yards of bounce and roll. I almost @!$#ed up a birdie on the first PAR 5 going 1yard short of the flag and witness my pitch shot sky-rocketing 15feet past the hole ( Roberto Busatto keep that in mind )

Been practicing the heck out of that setup as well as my 3 iron loft to hell. Been getting pretty decent with it. Last time out, shot 3 under on that setup. The only way I'm going to screw this up is if I let my nerves get to me. I know this course like the back of my hand and should be able to break par every round. Last practice tour I shot 12 under.

Well, 3 under round 1. We'll see how well that stands up against the other sponsor exempts.

Winds and par 3s screwed me over on round 2 shooting even par. 3 under going into last 3 holes and just fell apart.

Another par round on the brutal pin 3 setup. So 3 under for the tourney so far.
On to round 4 after a little break.

Now we wait and see.
