I was in a zone for round one. Several eagles. This seems like a CC course. Really short. Played a little tougher in round 2.
RD1: -18 (52) RD2: -11 (59)
Sitting at -29

That's what I was talking about Great R1 Jason! I'm starting to feel even worst about my -11 Feel like I wanna rush trough the three remaining rounds today as I've probably effed up chances of something more than a T10/15 here....

Yes, great shooting in that opening round HeMan1202 - As Andrea says, that is the round we all knew was out there. Which is why I am disappointed with a; -9 -9 I had a double bogey when finding the bunker at the front of the green (on the stroke index 1 par 4), and another bogey in the first round. Which never helps momentum. I was expecting big things when I was -5 through four in my practice round. Which included an eagle and this monster... The hardest putt I have sunk to date...

Had a pretty (just pretty) solid 58 (-12) in R2. Couldn't really complain that much or be salty with how I played here, even if I could've finished 2/3 strokes better: at the #4 PAR 5 I bounced on the right edge of the cup on an eagle 22ish downhill putt, and at the #18 PAR 5 I hit the flagstick with a pitch shot and bounced 1inch backwards... I'm sitting at -23 for the weekend, six strokes behind the actual leader ....and sure as hell even further when guys like Bryan Cairnsy780 or Lovedeep and Brad effing Putt will start posting double 55's or 54's - which are there P.S.: If someone feels "offended" by the fact that I'm not happy with what on a normal week would be a nice score after two, I'm sorry - the thing is I'm not happy just to make cuts and survive or be a 'middle of the pack' player. My goal for myself is be constantly better and ultimately win events. That's why I feel disappointed with a -11 when I know for sure I could get a -15.

Finished with two 61s to go -43 Lost concentration a bit in last 2 rounds but happy to hang in there! Considering I usually finish at least 10 shots off the lead, once the machines boot up this course will be ripped a new one Great fun though! Good luck all! (Not too much though!)

I struggle to excite myself for European events especially with the TST world matchplay this week. -6 first round after being evens thru 12. Sunk a 33 and 37 footer aswell. Not too shabby.
Second round was -4 thru 5 but then cooled down. Hit a driver on approach on the 18th in a desperate attempt at making eagle. Didn't work and I nearly ended up in the drink far left haha. Had to settle for par and a -7. Will -13 make the cut?

To this date, almost 1,500 rounds in, I have yet to finish with an 18 under. Well done Jason! In a depleted Euro field this week, this is your best chance to sneak in a win with a starting 2 rounds like this. No pressure though. Glad you're on my side for the World Cup!

The tree on 11 in round two I believe the GNCD stuck that tree in there and I didnt catch it. I did notice the tree in round three setup and I removed it and thought that the GNCD had only randomly placed it in that setup. So for back story lets just say the members complained and the grounds crew took a chainsaw to it Friday night.

Didn't think it'd be good enough. I've only made 1 cut since early December anyway (last week). If I end up knocking out 8th seed Brian May in the matchplay at Chambers Bay it will be worth it. I feel like this is my cup competition, bonus if I do well but getting knocked out of it lets me concentrate on the league haha.

My final round was probably the worst I played in some time. Oh well, back to the drawing board.

Hard luck man, still can't take away that -18 in tournament play from you anyway, great shooting regardless of the final outcome, nice to be putting scores like that up.

The good news?
-11, -8. Good enough for the weekend I'm thinking.
The bad news? I submitted -12. So that's a DQ for me.
The last time I submit at work without looking at the rounds first. Bad memory on my part.
This really sucks.
