Got in some Saturday morning golf for my final two rounds. My target was -30, -13 over 2 rounds. I figured even with difficult conditions, that should be the minimum expected for a Plat player, even one still acclimating to the difficulty.
It was a bit of a slog. Right off the first hole, I was hitting a bunker. Made up for it, up and down for birdie, and off to the races. Then I hit another bunker off the 2nd tee. Bogey after a terrible approach and chip afterwards. However, despite kind of being everywhere but the short stuff, I still shot alright, netting a 64 despite 42% FIR (42?!?! christ.)
More bunkers and rough was in my future on the last round, but I definitely got up and down quite well, finally netting a clear scorecard. I was so close on a few chips, but the putter was still doing well. A solid 63 leaves me in the top 20 for the first time! I might get knocked down, as there are a few that can surpass that with some good closing rounds, but to get to -32 and be as high as I am with the full field...it feels incredible! Still had some terrible stats, but the putter was en fuego and my recovery game was very nice.
I lost my Beaz Kneez round of 8 matchup vs. SteamingPolak sadly. I hit 2 red slows, had a really bad lipout of a putt, chipped it off the flag stick, another eagle chip that missed by a few inches....and in the end I lost by a solid 4&3. I feel pretty good about it, and the progress I've made to be competitive with someone who's finished 2nd in a Plat tournament recently was incredible. The progress I'm making has been amazing, and I'm so happy.
Just wanted to say this community is wonderful to be a part of and I really appreciate the kindness so many afford me despite being new to the series and kind of a weird one. If you aren't already, check out some of the amazing streamers in this community. It's one of the best on Twitch. I'm not even saying come watch me, I'm a weirdo trans girl without a cam (working on a vtuber rig soon [tm]). So many amazing people stream this game.
