Three rounds done and I’m playing very consistently and enjoying what appears to be the easiest course so far this season. Seen the conditions for round 4 and typically it is high wind which I hate, so will be playing a practice round in the exact same setup and then straight into the tournament round.
Good to see Dan back on the leaderboard….It’s gonna be a tight finish at the top, it could very well come down to a single shot.

What a surprise to see a PGA winner in the beginning ... But I understand the important thing is the fun. Cool!

My third round score was the same as my first and my fourth round score was the same as my second... cryptic. I missed a lot of putts and chips. You'll beat me comfortably this week then! I think someone will get to -60 or better this week.

Lots of members here have spent time in other tours during their career on TGCT. The name is a bit of a misnomer - it's not designed for beginner players (that's more the CC-D/E..Z tours.

I think someone will get to -60 or better this week. I got to -59...hoping that's good enough, but lots of better R1 scores than mine out there might be the difference

Not sure if that will hold up for top spot, but you'll be right up there I'm sure.

About the closest we're ever going to get to the simpler TGC1 days when everyone was on an even playing field and a combination of some or all of skill, experience, and charts or math was more instrumental to your success than what platform you play on.

Played my 3rd and 4th rounds today. 3rd was OK but nothing worth detailing. 4th round started with what I'm sure must be a personal best of 10 straight birdies. Came close to 11 in a row but had one of those stupid putts that was curving right towards the hole and then a roll before going in it changed direction and curved just off the edge. Only managed 2 more birdies on the last 8 so I didn't make enough of that hot start but I still can't complain about a -12. Finished -40 for the week so I'm clearly no threat.

This is a good assessment and what has kept me playing on this tour. I got hooked on the game during TGC1 and this is the closest thing to that. Tempo swing has never made sense to me (or at least this version....didn't have too many issues with TGC2). I really like that it feels really even regardless of platform with this tour. Everyone has a chance. It is not as much about a random weird reading between your controller and the game that decides a round. It is more about making the shots and the putts. It's not going to be for everyone. And I do sympathize with people that are starting out their career here going up against people that have played for years now (which I think is more of factor of the tour name than anything).

The most enjoyable 4th round in wind conditions I don't like and it took my best ever total of -44 to still finish in the top 15.....wow! Amazing scoring from everyone and congrats to troywatts for the win, good to see someone new at the top in what proved to be a very tight tournament. Good to see @koastinthrulife back in the game....Don't sweat it Dan, you'll always be in the top 5, consistency is key......
