This week we are back in the US for what I would consider to be a quintessential American links style course. Based off of Chambers Bay, this wild course is by noneother than mattf27 , an extremely prolific designer that generally has most of his courses show up on CC, This is indeed the first course of his to show up on plat this year! Still maybe on the easier side, consider this a breather week after the final tough major outing of the year. Hope you enjoy your rounds!

Still here… 😎😎😎
Completely thrown by the lack of wind in round 1, I could only get to -8. Second round has some wind, so I felt a lot more comfortable and scored -12.
-20 halfway
Hope that first round doesn’t cost me the weekend.
Good luck all, Frans

-51 total. Don’t usually play all 4 rounds in one go but due to work and house move I did last night. Was on a roll after 2 so another reason why I thought F it, I’ll play them all.
Annoying I couldn’t stream due to my temp internet as I got a hole in one on the 7th Rd1. Hoping that’s enough to contend with so we’ll see come the end of the week. Made too many pars on the par 5’s but made enough birrdies elsewhere to get inside the -50 mark. Also missed a 10 footer on the last which’ll no doubt cost me 😂
Good luck to everyone this week 🏌️♂️

4 straight weekends. Another top 25 at a major and now we come to a course where everyone is going super low already (looking at you Hokie) ….Gulp.
Plus the first event where I’m top 50 in the world…. GULP.
LET’S DO THE DAMN THING THIS WEEK!

Got a PS5. Might be a little bit until I'm really used to it thanks to different calibrations compared to PC, but I'm loving it.

Lovely course, one of the weeks when I'm genuinely bummed that I'll only get 2 rounds in. Especially appreciated the green sculpting - fun contours, and smooth gradients, not a lot of broken lines going 5 different directions on a 15ft putt. Great course.
Hadn't touched the game for 4 or 5 days, but surprisingly my tempo was pretty good. Putting, on the other hand...a lot of user error lol.
GL all.

R1 -7. R2 -7. -14 through two. That 17th hole is a doozy for a par 4 in this game. One ticket to my 17th consecutive missed cut on Platinum, please! Onto next week .

Good luck all, Frans Just promoted up and first time playing in very high winds. Nice R2 score in that wind I found it pretty difficult to gauge where to hit it.

I recommend practicing them because I like using them fairly often! There are truly some great wind guides out there and plat guys have it down to a science!

Struggled adjusting to PS5 a bit. swing plane woes with the DS4. Tempo mostly there but a few critical errors. F IT I'M DONE. Switch to Dualsense because I noticed swing plane was better there. Missed a million putts still but I felt a little more in control of all aspects of my game. Miss cut, -14 after 2.
Play round 3 and 4 because I started to feel like things were slowly coming together. Lmao -13/-13 to end -40 that doesn't matter. But everything is starting to click really well for me on the PS5 and hopefully soon I'll be able to challenge.
It's much better for me to play console compared to PC even with a good computer. Tempo was very good....but if I streamed, I had some frame spikes that would affect my tempo a few too many shots. PS5 I feel much better, streaming with a capture card. PC can focus on encoding/upload/vtuber cam, etc, and the PS5 can run the game. Hope I can start to push forward in the coming weeks!

Made the cut! Unfortunately though, there was really no wind to speak of after the cut, so I had no way to hide that I am really bad at... well... not relying on the wind to get it close enough to not expose my dreadful putting... -9 & -6 in rounds 3 & 4 to finish at -35 Best wishes, Frans

Hello. I escaped the demo mark territory! With a nice -5 on the last 7 holes in R2 including a birdie on the 18th after starting that round with 11 straight pars! That's all that counts for me this week. Happy days! Cheers and good luck all!
