Did I see you shoot a -17 for round three? That would be completely amazing..... Sadly, just a practice round. There seems to be a wide range of possible scores. Just based on a few practice runs, There are 6-8 holes that could swing birdie/par even on well played shots and 2 holes that are just completely stingy with birdies (the par 3 8th, 204yds with front left pin for example) Gotcha. Yeah round three pin placements are rough, most seem to be on a steep hill which requires you to be close and/or having to put with a significant break. Hole #8 is rough. I have come up with a couple ways to play it depending on the wind, but in the end all that means nothing if you can't play under the pressure. I've been practicing my chipping cause I've been finding in this particular round, being able to make that 7 yard chip for birdie is the difference between -15 and -9, there are that many holes in this round that you can be just off the green, #2, #5, #8. #14, #16, #17 just to name a few.

Limped off the course after 4 rounds with a very average tally... 63,59,64,66...-36... Had average winds of roughly between 10mph-14mph throughout the tourney..only real highlight was round 2 where I played pretty solid n eagled 1 of the longer par 4's on the course.I only eagled 1 par5 in the tourney in the 3rd round on the back 9 where I hit a very decent approach to a tight pin location n putted for eagle from the fringe. Struck the ball better in this tourney compared to Red diamond but putted worse.left so many putts just short of the hole with several others lippin out. As I've mentioned a few times before I do struggle with the putting on slow greens.1 of many things to try n improve on my game for sure just like what Tom said I too am now glad to have this tourney completed..decent course outlay n did enjoy the challenge it presented but the course took an age to load in each round n the course seems to have a few lag issues in places also.roll on the next tourney n good luck to those of u yet to play your tourney

Had to stop after a couple of holes last night since I had a 92% (which may happen occasionally and I don really mind as its the same IRL)followed by a 55%(!) pitch. Game just went even more wierd after that with the network icon showing up like it was loading something and when it did even aiming marker started behaving sluggish. Was not going to try the carry on three under those condidtions.
Will see today if its any better, otherwise its just going to be two quick rounds to not get a DQ. Really needed a result to have any chace to get into the WGC as well.....

That is super unfortunate, I have a chance for a top 10!!

Then I guess gliches in Johannesburg wont be such a big deal after all... :-) Next goal - get into the masters.

More playing and less raising trouble on the forums for me going forward.....

So, back to reality After my first Euro Tournment at the Hero Indian Open with a total score of -42, now a disappointing ending at Joburg. I had so much problems with the wind during my 4 rounds, always up to 12-15 mph. First round 66 (-6) followed by 63 (-9), but round 3 and 4 were a big disaster with each 68 (-4). I think -15 after two rounds will be not enough for the cut, concentration on next week

Had a slow start to the first round but played the back decently to end up at 61. In the 2nd round I had a another TV on the Dustin Johnson, Paul Casey, and James Hawn (sp?) playoff. How stupid of me. Half ass-ed effort produced half ass-ed results. Finished with a 64. The playoff on TV was good though. Old Riviera played tough today. lol
No ninety something percent glitches in either round. That was a first.

I started with a -10 in R1 yesterday. Had a very poor start on the front nine, but played -8 on the back nine. That rescued my R1, and left me come back to clubhouse with a decent round. But then in R2, I played not good at all. Driving was good (18 fairways/greens in regulation), but my irons didn't get close enough to the pins, and my putter was cold as ice. Finally, I ended R2 with a dissapointing 65 (-7). Not a single birdie on the par 5's, I think that says it all. I'm sitting in the clubhouse now booking my flight back home, as I don't think that -17 will be low enough to make it into the weekend.

Glad to see the back of this one. Must be the most glitchy course on the game for ps4 users and it shows on our leaderboards. Yeah, pretty surprised they approved this course. Not only does it take 5 mins to load up the course, there is alot of lag. Unfair for us PS4 users.

After seeing some of the scores already put up I said screw it as theres no way I'd be getting a top 10. shot -12 and -13 for rounds 3 and 4 for a total of -44. Could be my lowest finishing position of the year so far, still not sure if -19 will make the cut.

Only being 11 years old he is happy he might make one!

Practice went so well.. scoring -15s and -16s.. on each round.. Tournament rounds... Ahem... Up to sh!t
-25 after 2 Rounds and waaaaayyyyy behind.. Secondary goal now... Aim for the top 25 and possibly sneak into the top 10, even though it's a stretch with amount of great players yet to tee off..
