Great shooting Hammo. The final round is deceptively tough because of the cross wind and tucked pins. These finals should be exciting. Thanks andy. There are some tricky pins in round 4 but the light wind gives you a great chance to get those approach shots close. The next few weeks will be fun won't they!

Virtually certain I'll miss the cut. Worst tournament I've had since my first. So disappointing. After folding over the final six holes of round one, I actually found myself 4 over after 11 holes in round two. It was surreal. I've never had such distance control issues and I still can't figure out what happened. Had to birdie five straight to somehow get it back back to -1 for the round. I don't think -8 is going to get me to the weekend. Really, really bummed out. Curious to see how everybody else does. Good luck. A -9 and +1 for me puts me sweating on -8 too. Had 3 or 4 putts burn the edge but for some reason was teeing off like an idiot, slightly slicing everything. Only managed to hit like 3 fairways. Falling asleep I Rage played the third round to the tune of -10 which makes me laugh so I hope I make the cut. Didn't know the course very well and I hate how we had different setups without Knowing the firmness or green speeds. I just took it as rainy day equals slightly slower than whatever greens speeds the green seemed like on the other 3 days. Was all guesswork, I hope hb add the option to view conditions in. Was a lovely course though, wish I had time to practice it but had a busy week. Oh well it's just a warmup for next week anyway. Should have more time to play in prep for the finals. Can't wait. Hammo and Sooter (if he doesn't earn a pro card this week) have to be favourites. They are on Fire. I think we all want nate to earn his card this week. He is proving to be quite a problem for all of us! Haha

Even being back on exemption it looks like I won't make a cut on the Web like the beginning of my career. Totally choked in the second round. I started decent in those conditions going -3 through six holes. I then misjudged the elevated green on 7 and ended up at the base in heavy rough and had a hard time getting out. I ended up with a snowman 8 on that hole. My round was over mentally and I ended up Even for the day to keep me at -6 after two rounds. It was fun and I hope to be back again someday.

I'm amazed at the scores some of you are putting up. At times I think I'm Web capable, but I don't think I'm consistently sharp enough to be competitive on this tour! (At least not yet )

Still in CC-C, but still have fun playing this tour. Made some great putts, burned a lot of edges on easy putts. 61,66,61,65 for a -35. Such a disappointing final round. Thought I had a shot at going -40 entering round 4, but just couldn't get anything going. I've been liking these courses better than the ones we've been getting in CC, haha.

Not revealing how I did yet... P.S. when discussing this matchup with my wife she told me that I need to "Go Ham on Hammo" - I found it hilarious AND motivating.

Ok, if you must know I had............. -41. I'm going to guess and say you had 62, 60 to finish a couple in front of me?

Found some pins and slopes to be difficult the last two rounds. I managed to beat your guess by one on round 3 - shot a 61. Played solid, nothing too crazy in the round. The nerves showed in round 4 to start - took a dumb bogey on hole 1. But I recovered to shoot.... a 60 for Sunday, spot on with your guess. Total of -44. Perhaps one step closer to that tour card! Well played, was fun playing under pressure knowing I had to perform - especially wondering if you went mid 50s in round 4. Had me on edge!

I knew my 1st and 3rd round wasn't flash and when I saw your 56 to start it was never looking good for me. I look forward to many more tussles over the next few weeks and on the Pga next season

We'll see you again soon if things don't pan out this week.

(At least not yet ) The thing to remember is that more than a couple of these guys are playing like they're in the PGA. Whatever happens this week, keep playing the web tour to get a feel for the courses. Although saying that the CC courses have been tough of late!

Take your card and do one!!!! ;-) Nate - is your putting great or are you just sticking it within 8ft every approach? Unlucky Ryan! I'm rooting for a win for you and this week it was well deserved.

Guess we are all just going to have to find a way to get better. It's good motivation when you have someone dominating like this... Hang on, did I say frustration or motivation? Haha

Hang on, did I say frustration or motivation? Haha Plus we have an update due soon to smooth the swing - I can see it dropping in the middle of the finals and royally screwing things! I've played a couple of the PGA events. It's a different game. The courses are tougher. I can't hit spots I'm aiming for now - no way it's gonna happen there! But... The challenge is what keeps me coming back for more! Finals should be interesting. Could be quite a few cards up for grabs. I'd be a lot more confident if I was consistently a few shots behind you. 11 this week wasn't good enough. Damn that round 3!!!
