61-66-62-65 34 under total Had some very good runs of holes but the next horrible mistake was always around the corner Classic case was 16-17 in my 3rd round. A hole in one at 16 was followed by a 4 putt double bogey at 17. Love the course as it requires concentration to score. Something i am sadly lacking in at times. Expect to make the cut but top 50 is about as much as i expect with my total. Disappointed

I was very excited to play this tournament on the course I created and was feeling good after firing a first round 61 as all the putts were dropping. Then the putter went cold for the next 3 rounds and shot 65-69-65 for -28. Another disappointing week for me!

Round 1 I almost quit.... let me back up, in my first and only practice round, I did quit after hole 4, so I was coming in blind on the rest of the holes. Back to round 1... started out.....birdie birdie birdie, and I was thinking tomahawk type scores......but that quickly changed once I got back to the hole 4...miss the fairway off the box, plug a bunker, and proceeded to bogey that nasty green, then on the next hole, that steam really showed face as I ended up in a bunker green side, and somehow hit out of that into the bunker on the other side of the green, just wasnt paying attention to shot selection as i thought i was flopping from a plugged lie, so the bogey on hole 4 is a direct result in the bogey on hole 5 3 bogeys in this round, i really wanted to quit several times and just mail it in, but i chugged on. next 3 rounds were all subpar for me, i just wasnt feeling it, i was hitting straighter than ever, but i could not get it going to have any really good scores. no 50's from me this time. -40 total will have to do, pretty sure the winner will beat it by quite a few. edit: also wanted to add, zero ball squirts, no issues with loss of power either.

Shot my first ever over par round n the tour. +5. Played a round to salvage my pride to and got to even after the two rounds. Not playing the other two and fully expect to come in dead last.

Wonder if 67-64 will sneak the cut... 62-66 after that for -29 total.

Well another disappointing tournament for me. So let me count.... Yeah thats 10/10 below par results so far this season. Even tho i still havent missed a cut i am shooting well below my practice rounds average. This week id managed -14 in practice and my tourney best was -9 absolutely fuming!! Should scrape the cut at -17 but i finished -35 and id guess that would give me another top 30-40 finish. Soon as i hit that first tee my face goes red,palms get sweaty and my fingers go shakey, so pathetic its just a video game lol. Need to get a grip!!

Hatching a plan to start hitting my potential, will see if it works out or not!

Think my caddy turned up pissed from the wgc after party at doral. Had a nightmare with distance control which you cannot afford on the course because you leave yourself putts across the slope. Was that bad of a score since i started writing this post i have forgot what i shot. Think it was -31 total. Only myself to blame for some horrible golf.

Had a much better tournament this week - finished at -44. Will be disappointed if that's not in the top 25!
For some reason, the course just suited me. Hole lengths, the speed of the greens. Really enjoyed it. But like others, I suffer from nerves big time when playing tournaments, including this one - hit a few horrible drives which I mainly got away with.
Silly for what's just a video game, but goes to prove just how good this tour is!

63,66,63,61...-35 under total... Yet again made a number of silly errors throughout the 4 rounds.I missed several putts from inside 10 ft n unwisely attempted to reach a few of the par 5 greens in 2 where I kinda knew i was asking a lot n then landing in bad areas as a result where I didn't manage to get up n down for birdie on some occasions.. par's on par 5's are bogeys in my view.Basically my course management wasn't great at times my swing was decent n my putting was ok but neither were as good as they needed to be in terms of being in contention for a top 10 or better..holed out for an eagle from the fairway on the short par 4 6th in round 1,only real highlight I can think of enjoyed the challenge this course presented!!tricky greens which puts more emphasis on approach needin to be good,and even then a tricky putt awaited I welcome this sort of challenge anyday though compared to playing slow green conditioned courses. Good luck to all who have yet to complete or start there tourneys this week!

This course has teeth for sure and you have to remain vigilant. #4 is a brutally long hole, especially if the wind is against you. Fade around the tree right you are good, miss it or hit the bunker you are looking at bogey or worse. Several of the early holes you are putting on hills and Crazy was right, you really have to practice to find the best spots to aim.
I'm predicting the winning score will be -50. I think in the right winds, someone is going to be able to pull together a -12.5 average.

Fresh off my career best finish at the Africa Open (T17) I was looking to make another cut. Sadly the tricked out greens got the better of me over the first 5 or 6 holes in each round. I just couldn't get the ball to stay in the right spots that would allow normal breaking putts. With Steve's fix, I didn't experience any ball squirt, but I did have putts dive way low right off the putter face, making the big breaking puts near impossible to read. 66-67 will leave me outside the cut I'm sure.
