Jebel is awful happy this one is over Gee i wonder how ADX feels about Jebel? At least the cut line is down this week, if you played for par and just birdied the par 5's then that would probably be good enough to make it to the weekend. Wonder if people will complain next week at Powderfinger when the cut will probably be around -16 again?

I'm still hoping for a cut line near level par somewhere without any complaints. Not gonna happen I know.
I like Jebel .. it's a good challenge. Blew my chances in the first two rounds .. it wasn't the course, did it myself.

Played my first two rounds today, shot 75 and 61!! First round I could not find a fairway, and playing from heavy rough pretty much means bogey on this course. Made a great 30ft par putt on 18 to finish +3, and thought I may as well play my second round straight away. This time fairways and greens just like I had done in practice. Made an eagle on one of the par 4's on the back nine, and pretty much holed most of my putts. Leaves me at -8 for the tourney after two rounds, should be ok for the cut I think.

Having nightmares about my Back 9 in my final Round. Threw away a potential Top 10

Well thats me done for a top 20 finish. Just played my 3rd round in 11-15mph winds and shot 75 to leave me at -11. If I missed a fairway it was always on a hole that you had to approach over water so could only advance 40 yards up the fairway and if the wind was with me it was on a hole where the fairway ended early so you couldn't use driver anyway. Probably could have been -2 for the round had I not lipped a few putts too. Suprised they don't have a sand storm effect on that wind speed in the desert.
Glad comments on Twitch wasn't working as I'm sure I'd have been taking some abuse.
New goal is to try and get a top 50.....or at least not finish last of those that make the cut.

This course was brutal if you can't putt 3 putting and even the odd 4 putt lol. Shot a final round 78 started with 5 bogeys to begin with, throw in a 4 over somewhere and maybe 2 birds. Admittedly it was a hot day and I was drinking. Just wanted the madness that is Jebel to end.

Going to enjoy being 5th on the leaderboard while it lasts. My final 9 holes is going to cost me a lot of $$$$$$$$$$$$

Well I won't be making the cut in Qatar. Everything that could go wrong did go wrong and i could only do 11 under for the 2 rounds.
Glad they have toughened up the course for the weekend as some of the early scores on the board are ridiculous. Good luck to all who make it

I have played the two first rounds, I guess it will be around the cut-line. -17 will be borderline. The putting put ( ) me off, as it suddenly went 25 feet past the hole, on a long uphill put. The marker had autoset itself, including elevation-change, and I didnt notice it.... My bad, but very annoying. Lost at least two shots there, and I guess that will be what made me miss the cut... That course, in calm conditions, I think winner will go -56, even with tougher 3rd and 4th rounds.

Unlucky Jacko. Yeah one of those ridiculous scores is probably mine Even in practice I was shooting rounds of at least -9. To be fair, since the second patch on PC my putting has almost been faultless. I am looking forward to the challenge for the weekends course as I think my best was -5

Got to learn to deal with tournament pressure - I make the dumbest mistakes.
Was between 9 and 12 under in every practice round i played and nowhere near when it counted.
Actually think the putting is an improvement. Finding downhillers much easier to control especially.
Still, never expected to make every cut on this tour. Ce'st la vie.
