Well I went -4, -6.
I say -10 is not good enough to make cut on here. Had double bogey on 15 par 3 I think in RD1, I went in water. That may hurt.
Couldnt land in fairways at all and missed out on good amount of GIR and very possible greens under relegation tries.
If I could replay I would play much safer, course is very easy to birdie most or all holes if you dont try to eagle everything and try shortcuts on par 4s.

My first foray into the Euro tour with my exemption. Shot 66 and saw several putts lip out. Not sure what the cut will be but I am guessing pretty low. Around -15 maybe?

Ditto, first go at trying to get my Euro tour card, had several promising practice rounds but had a nightmare in fairly high winds for round 1. Was probably lucky to come out with a 67. Wish I had been a wind waiter Finding the water on a couple of occasions a bit of a killer, plus missing a tiddler when I let the frustration get to me. I'm thinking if the cut is -15 I'll be lucky. I know a fair few are guessing lower. I know I could do -10 with the round 1 pins, hopefully I can actually do that or better if its needed in round 2. Its not going to be much fun with the long wait to find out if I make the cut. With the larger field this week I'm not sure if that makes it likely the cut will be higher or lower than normal. Btw, playing on PS4, the frame rate is not good. Anyone else having this problem or know a way around it other than turning off 'Depth of field' which I've already done). Had to be careful not to do lots of 90 odd % shots, possibly swinging a bit hard to compensate (not sure if that works or not, seemed to after my first practice round I was doing it constantly) Good luck everyone, if I miss this cut I'm hoping I'll get placed in the top Web.com tier so I can be trying again soon

Btw, having started to practice round 2, I have to say setting the course up slightly different for each round has to be a way forwards. Makes such a difference. Has added benefit that if you play all 4 rounds on same session you will likely get different wind conditions as they count as different courses.
You can't just go on auto pilot around each round hitting the same shots. Hope it gets a positive reaction and is done more often

Useless today, wish I was on PC when CrazyCanuck was playing last night in 4-8mph winds when I got home from work as the PS4 tourney hadn't been posted yet. Probably wouldn't have helped anyway, R1 in 11-17mph winds I shot -11 and R2 in 4-9mph winds I shot -8. I had a feeling -19 or 20 might have been the cut line but the R2 course does seem trickier than the other rounds. I'm gonna wait til next weekend to finish my last 2 rounds, I'll probably be 10 off the lead after the cut anyways. Good luck everyone.

I have a real blind spot when it comes to 3rd rounds at the moment! Shot an acceptable -10 first round, very happy with a -14 in round two, but as ever, had a ropey 3rd with a -8. Finished with a -11 to finish -43. Nowhere near the top I'd imagine!

By the way on PS4, I had several less than 100% shots. ( 96% mainly but at least one 92%) One of these made me land in a bunker off the tee and made a double bogey. Good luck!

I only had 2 low percentage shots and they were both on the same hole (15th or 16th?). Had a 55 yard pitch to the flag, hit 93% so ended in the rough. Next chip shot went 83% and barely dribbled onto the green. Ended up making bogey......taking 4 strokes to get in the cup from 55 yards was more like my real golf game lol.

After a great opening round 58, everything fell apart. Went 66-64-66 to finish it out. Started pulling everything slightly to the left. Took a bogey on hole 2 in rounds 2-4, and had 2 double's thrown in also. Very disappointed after starting out so well. Winds were between 5-8 in first round, 9-15 in 2nd, relatively calm in 3rd and around 5-8 in 4th. Just couldn't keep the all around game up to the normal level I expect.
If any of you were watching on twitch, sorry for the crappy play the last 3 rounds.

Shot 64-61 first two rounds...maybe enough to make the cut? Even so..the winds picked up in rounds 3 and 4 and I limped in with 71 (!!!)- 66. I've either missed the cut, or close to dead last on the leaderboard come Sunday!

Was an awful +2 thru 6 in rd 1. 90%'s, putter lagging made for a nightmare start. Was able to get back to even at the turn and went -7 on the back to salvage a decent round. Put together a -10 in the 2nd round for -17, hpe its good enough for the weekend. I think the cut will be around -15/-16 just because of the possible framerate issues and people trying to take on holes that you could in previous rounds.

The winds were mediocre with 7-10mph with gusts up to 15mph on a few holes. Round one was simply the best tournament round I ever played. I was pin seeking on every shot and it felt good. I was only outside 15 feet a few times and made two long birdie putts. I made two eagles on two of the par 5's, missed a third eagle on #9 by an inch and rolled over the edge of the cup on #17 for a missed hole in one, it stopped a foot a way. Putting was on and I was feeling great. I didn't save my scorecard, silly me but i was so stoked. If anyone gets a copy by deciding to play me, I would appreciate a post. Thanks. End result? -17 (55)
Second 9 the wind kicked up a bit and was a constant 10-14mph. I played a couple of stupid shots, subtracting instead of adding..that type of thing. Still pin seeking on many but others some ball squirt had me shaking my head. Didn't make as nearly as many of the longer putts, but round two has some mean breaks. All in all I scored: -11 (61)
For a grand total -28. I'm stoked... I'm going to hold off on round 3/4. Round 3 is by far the toughest in my opinion and I haven't played it much. I think I have only shot a -8 or -9 as my best. That round you have to be putting cause even if you get close you are on a hill. Round 4 goes from Easy difficulty to Medium difficulty but many pins are a little more accessible. Good luck all!!

Best is -22 after 2 rounds, someone has shot -26 on R3-R4 already. Guess I was wrong about the scores being real low, looks like I dont have to be too downbeat about my -19 now.....Good last 2 rounds and I may be able to get a top 25. Tempted to play my last rounds now but I'll wait until next Sunday when the wife is at work and I can see what I need to score to move up the leaderboard.
