So I went to practice and accidentally hit continue. After a very unusual par on hole number 1 I thought I would restart .. only to find out i was playing round 2!! Oops.
Good news is I was able to pull myself together, nearly holed out for an ace on #2. I was -8 at the turn with a chip in for eagle on 6 and feeling good. Sadly I lipped out too many putts. Lipped an eagle putt on #10, a birdie putt on #11 and another on #12. Managed to birdie 13 and 14 which I'm happy about for some reason 14 is my toughest hole. Lipped another on 15 and slide one by on 16. Lipped an eagle on 17 and birdied 18 for a 58 (-13) I really left 3 or 4 shots on the course by simple lack of concentration.
Much better than round one but I haven't slid so many just by the edge in a long time, my own fault, over compensated on a few then under compensated. Sad part is they were all under 15 feet, I was dialed in. Ended up with -24 after two rounds. If i can get a -16 or so on Saturday I may have a shot at a top 10.
Felling good but we'll see how the sharp shooters shoot.

Must have had water trouble or behind 17. Kudos for him for finishing and posting it. Hope no one gives him schit for it Agreed, Kudos for finishing and posting. It is so easy to quit a bad round and say F*** it. I'm really trying in my practice rounds that when I find myself struggling to finish the round so I can practice how to turn it around on the real tourney. SO yeah, don't give him sh%$. Everyone can have a round where the wheels fall off, especially if something silly happens like a piece of dust gets on the mouse lens or something and it takes you a few holes to figure out why you are shanking everything. (Raises hand as it happened to him in q-school) Unfortunately his next round was worse than his first.

Wow I gave you a run for your money Taste! Was -39 after three rounds and knew I needed -18 to tie you...after 10 holes I was -12 for the round with 8 birdies and two eagles! Choked on a few putts down the stretch and finished 55 under for the tournament...

it must be nice knowing that when you need a really low score you can nearly get it under pressure!

That front nine is very similar to the last day of mine. Shot -10 on the last day but both my eagles were putts haha. If you add on the second to last day I actually played the front in -19 which is unreal.

damn mellow, very nice front 10, too bad the back 8 was not as kind.
still -16 is nothing to shake a stick at and frown at the same time.
good stuff!
