Welcome to the second round of the playoffs for the Elite Tour! Congrats to those of you who made the cut last week and have made it to the second round. Things get a little tougher this week as the cut is now top 30+ ties or you must be on the top 10 of the money list to move on to the tour championship next week. We are off to our next rjwils30 course this week with Hoi An Beach Club. This is technically a collaboration with Brian Petty, since Petty built the plot and gave Rob a few challenges to work with. Challenging beachside Asian style course that should probably give more birdies than last week, but who knows. You guys really tore apart Avery Field more than I thought with a -21 cut line. Good luck! Playoff info:
NOTE: Promotions/Demotions will be off for all tours for the playoffs. The following playoff format will be in place for each pro tour starting Week 46. Week 46 (Last week) - Make cut (Top 65+ ties) or be top 50 on Money List after event finalized to move on Week 47 (This week - remaining eligible registered)- Make cut (Top 30+ ties) or be top 10 on money list after event finalized to move on Week 48 (Next week - remaining eligible registered)- no cut (R1/R2 deadline still in effect) Winner takes tour title and trophy card

Interesting layout this one with 6 par 3, 4 and 5 holes. I have made another good start this week with 58 and 59 to sit at -27 at the halfway point. Should get through to next week with that score I'd imagine 👍

Should get through to next week with that score I'd imagine 👍 Yes! Glad you mentioned this. I meant to put it in the OP. But, there were several challenges and restrictions that Petty laid out for Rob when he gave him the plot. Petty developed the plot located in south east Asia including the site boundary, topography, sandy waste and dunes areas as well as the location of the clubhouse and road access. He also determined that the course must consist of three 6 hole out and back loops that bring the golfer from the clubhouse to the beach each time. To add to the challenge he determined that each loop needed to consist of 2 par 4’s, 2 par 3’s and 2 par 5’s. So you get the 6-6-6 of each set of each par, but you also get 2-2-2 every 6 hole loop.

53 third round with four eagles, one a hole out from about 95 metres, and it could have been lower 😳🤣. Puts me at -46 after three rounds.

Damn, that's a hell of a round. I'm happy that it sure looks like I'm going to the finals, currently sitting T-4 at -27. I think technically I could still get knocked out, but only if everyone who hasn't completed 2 rounds shoots lower. Probably be playing R3 / R4 tonight or tomorrow night. Not sure I could keep up with a 53 though, even with the good run of form I've been in since coming back.

Yeah I shocked myself with that one. I'd be very surprised if 2 shots off the lead currently ended up missing the cut though.

-26 after two, so looks like I’ll see you boys next week. First round was great, second round lost my feel in the middle, but I will take it.

7 shots off the cut line with 7 holes to play...and then this happened. the Cinderella story continues as the player ranked 147th on the money list, who only made 15 of 35 cuts all season and whose best finish was a T-27 over Thanksgiving week last November has now made it to the Elite Tour Championship!!!! God bless RJW I'll see you all in Banff

Bit of a disappointing 64 to finish off this week, -54 total. Maybe next week I can go all the way and finally win a tournament
