Great scoring Bradley! I think we are looking at the winning score right there.
Philip and Fergus, as a newbee to the Euro tour myself (this is my fourth week), I will be keeping my fingers crossed for the both of you!!
I thought the cut would be -11/-12 on Saturday when I played, but I think it could again be around -10/-11. It would be interesting to hear the thoughts from some of the more seasoned Euro players, as I could be leading you down the garden path with my prediction.
Good luck.

Oh, and a -21 for me in the end. Mehhh, very disappointed with that to be honest. I didn't play well in any round, and plodded along in round 4 (not really applying 100% concentration to any shot, other than the putts) after shooting a lowly -1 in round 3, but still managed a -7 (R4). So, I feel I could have done a lot better.
-6 -7 -1 -7

Up on exemption here this week and hoping to hang around and just make the cut, found it very difficult to score in round 1 but was scrambling pretty well until I played short of the green on a par 3 and got a soft bounce and just trickled onto the green leaving a 70+ft putt downhill that I had no chance of stopping, plodded around and missed a few putts after that and had another bogey on 16, clawed a par on 17 and birdied 18 to salvage a -3. Played much better rd 2 and went for everything trying to make the cut, burnt the edge with a few putts too but shot -8 in the end. R1 -3 R2 -8 Will -11 make the weekend, hard to say but I hope so, suppose I'll have to wait for the lurkers and watchers to seal my fate on Thursday ;-) Well done Feng it will be a horror wait till Thursday especially with the breed of watcher up here ;-) but Fingers crossed you'll get your Euro card same goes for caspariius well played lads and I think you's have done enough it will be great having you's up here

Thanks for the kind words Mills, hoping me and my Irish Team Championship partner Philip can squeeze in. It is really hard to get an idea of what the cut will be up here as a lot of the high ranking players seem to be either withholding, watching, lurking or are Sweeney perverts The leaderboard doesn't give a true reflection of the state of the competition until the death on Thursday night. Most times people look safe right up till the deadline and then the bushes start to rustle and one by one the watchers and late registering lurkers appear and before you know it you are the wrong side of the cut line heading back to Web with your tail between your legs!

Absolutely gutted I will miss the cut on this one :-( Round 1 -5 Round 2 -2 I was -4 thru 10 holes and was playing decent until 81% O.B second shot then O.B ten mph cross wind adjusted slightly but not too much looked like a decent shot and the wind didn't take it, then a big kick right into the O.B again. FFFFFFFFFFFFEEEEEECCCCCCKKKKK QUADRUPLE BOGEY tournament over thank you very much back to Even par,kept fighting to make the cut at -5 I had to birdie 5 out of 8 holes as I set the cut at -10.I managed 3 and a bogey over a liar break putt and finished -7 :-( I didn't even play that bad, gutted but that's life. Good luck everyone hopefully you all fair better especially my brother feng187 up on exemption this week :-) Unlucky Ant! If u don't make the cut, just try n bounce back from it.. No point dwelling over spilt milk.. Cheers Tony I'll be back I was on a decent run had 2 good Tourneys and just got unlucky in this. Congratulations again and hopefully your getting enough sleep :-)

NostraBirdus predicts -8 for the cut. Nice play Brad, I'm glad all those tips I shared in our practice round paid off Good luck Mark after your first round, plenty of concentration needed in the last 3 rounds as it can get frustrating quick. Good luck to the rest of you guys.

-8 first round and could have been -10 if not for some really poor missed putts.. But I made up those by chipping a few in. 2nd round started off -4 through 3 holes and cooled off to finish -12, again I had a few really nice chip ins! I'm pretty happy about being -21 for the first 2 rounds.. Hopefully I can put together a solid weekend and pull out a top 15 or so! Lol we'll see about that!

Should be -20 after 2 rounds, hope youve had the typo on here and not on your scorecard. Nice shooting, keep that up and it will be a top 10 or top 5.

I was thinking about the one guy that was ahead of me on PS4 at -21. Whoops.. I'm pretty sure i entered my scores right..

Just finished my final round. Overall consistant week but i can think of many many chances that went begging, keep playing super aggressive aswel which costs me a few strokes. Short game let me down at times but happy with my total. I am especially happy with how i dealt with my rage, in round 4 i was chasing everything and failed on the front 9, made a comedy 7 on the par 5 going back n forth past the pin lol. Was level par at the turn and usually i either rage play or at least speed golf it but this was different, i realised i still had a good score and i went on to make 6 birdies n an eagle on the last to finish at -37. Hoping to get another top 10 after falling back last week over the weekend. Great shooting Bradley that will be one tough score to beat!! Good luck everyone yet to play 60 (-11), 62 (-9), 62 (-9), 63 (-8) = -37

Well my first round today was the most lackluster and I don't care rounds I have ever played on the tgctours. I finished at +3. I am really sick of the hard and fast courses. To those of you who enjoy them, kudos to you. I have been with tgctours since day one and have never missed a tournament for well over a year because I really enjoyed playing until the obsession with the hard and fast started.
I know this will come accross as b%&ing, and maybe it is, but why play when it is not fun. Taking a break from the Euro tour for the time being. To all my virtual friends good luck and make a lot of birdies. I plan on continuing playing the TST which has become more fun for me.

To all my virtual friends good luck and make a lot of birdies. I plan on continuing playing the TST which has become more fun for me. It is very sad to hear that Billy. I think we all are a bit "tired" of these settings that are repeating every week. Not because they're hard to figure out, even if they are, but because they'll drain so much mental energy to tackle that the "fun" part of the game some times vanishes. I get that. I feel that too sometimes to be honest. Don't judge me guys But I think we passed the message to the staff (if you look on the Course Selection? thread you'll see) and hopefully we're gonna have more variance in times to come. Next week should be medium firmness for a change...so I hope you'll stick around Lately I think there's too much effort in trying to stop Ian, Bradley, Tom, Jules and all those hyper-skilled players to score insanely low...the thing that maybe someone is failing to realize is that you cannot stop them, no matter the traps the tricks and the firmness. That's just my 2cents of course. Even if I will play whatever thrown at me at this moment...

My rounds done. Rd1: 64 (-7) Rd2: 64 (-7) Rd3: 66 (-5) Rd4: 62 (-9) Total: 256 (-28) A -7 average throughout, goal was a -6 average so its okay. Tired of firm and fast (despite me defending them a few days ago!) and lost interest a bit in Round 3. Pulled it back in Round 4 to salvage it somewhat. Not a fan of the course really, but they can't be my favourites every week! Good luck all to play, and those who have played
