Finished up this evening...I have to say I had some big wins this week...new swing passes API, and made my first cut in a couple weeks Anyway rounds 3 and 4 could have been better, but fought through some tough holes and pins (enjoyed the challenge) and went for -9 and -7 for a total of -33. Not a top 10, but probably top 30...after the last two weeks this is a big deal for me, so pretty happy with this on a very challenging course. On to next week. Nice shooting Kenny!

Ding ding ding!!! 4 for 4 in API pulls with new adjustments to API. Just wanted to shout that out before fadge does. Sure he will anyways. ๐ went through fair play and really tried. Good luck to everybody and stay safe. Pretty pissed I didn't pass.

Only 4 were removed? In the entire tournament? so it's a good sign, because we're adapting. Has the API been adjusted in this tournament?

The nerves got me early in the 4th being in contention with a bogey on the 1st hole, and I was +1 through 6 holes. I didn't give up, and after I dropped a nice eagle putt on #7 the tide turned. Played the next 11 holes at -10 to finish the round at -11, and get to -47 for the event. The number is out there for guys to run down. Putted extremely well all week, and also holed some shots that I normally wouldn't be able to hole. Best of luck to those that haven't finished. Hoping my score holds here and in TST to pull off a rare double, and my first victory on either tour.
-10 -12 -14 -11
-47

Apart from Alanโs removal (I canโt imagine your frustration ) we also have another first timer to add to the aforementioned 6.

First two rounds in at -25
This was much more like how I can play given a consistent swing.
That's the really frustrating thing about this game, I know that I have the game to go low on a regular basis: but ever since I had to change my style I've never found a consistent way of hitting the ball. I've found something recently that gives me some hope.
It's not just the approaches that were much better than of late, my putting has improved now that I've adjusted my distance marker and started to make a more aggressive stroke. It's completely counter-intuitive to how I see a putt going into the hole, but it seems to work.
Whether I can replicate that swing the next time I play or not is another matter; I've been hitting some very good numbers in societies over the last week or so with my new method: but, I've also put in some terrible rounds when I wasn't feeling it.
These help...

I bet my chips on you. I can only imagine you losing to the API (I don't want that), because on the third lap you will make a -15. The final lap for the TOP is at -10. Robyn Stone is 3 behind (in the first two). Anything can happen, but I bet on Blueorfe. First two rounds in at -25 This was much more like how I can play given a consistent swing.

It was nice being on top of the leaderboard, even if it was only for an hour. Friggin' blueorfe finding his form on the week I had a chance.

Round 4: Crashed and burned. Then somehow crashed again in Chile only to be eaten by my soccer teammates.

Also just realized I had 26 putts in the 3rd round, a round in which I aced the 17th. Takes something special to be able to have 26 putts on 17 holes, not even taking into account any chip-in's I may have had.
eh...oh well, still a step in the right direction this week. GL to all left to finish, have fun.

My putting stunk the place up this week, but I had a great time playing as always. Big thanks to all involved in setting it up.

I don't understand. I trained round 4 I feel safe. I go to the game and i miss everything. I start with boogie, par 5 just do par, mistake these thousands of puts... -5 Total -35 Frustrated with round 2 and 4. Happy to have passed the API. See you next week.
