Is there a master leaderboard with all flights in one place?

Not that I have seen. I think they are keeping the individual CC leaderboards as usual.

That's awesome. Nothing is better than Lambuea in Dec/Jan. Hopefully it is snowing, best experience. Tailgate hard, cheer harder.

Is there a master leaderboard with all flights in one place? Tim will add that soon - most likely tomorrow morning

The good players will still shoot good in the winds. The scores will be higher and closer to par..but the separation will be the same. Instead of a range of -50 to -10 you get -20 to +20...really no difference. The good players will still be at the top of the leaderboard. Ya they could make it so you get more gusts..but I prefer the new winds. More realistic in my opinion because of the ebbs and flows within a round. True, but I believe that slightly higher winds would make the top end of the leaderboard much more chaotic with higher scores, since there is a much lower margin for error and it also creates a better risk/reward model for several par 5's. Playing multiple holes with 5 mph winds isn't actually all that realistic in my opinion. I can probably count on one hand the number of times I played golf in winds that low.
I'm clearly not asking for a whole round (or 3) of 16+ mph winds as we used to have, but I'd like to see a round or two with winds with a mean of 12 mph and say a 2 or 3 mph standard deviation. I don't think we need every round to be a "must score" round, which is what the past few weeks have been. Granted, it would also help if the winds didn't produce such an unrealistic effect on the ball movement. It depends on the region you are in. I routinely play rounds in my area where the flag doesn't move at all and there is barely a breeze, for all 18 holes. If the wind in the game was realistic I wouldn't have an issue, but the physics of the game are lacking and the wind just has way too much effect on shots in my opinion, thus the reason they had to make a drop or switch. A 5mph cross wind shouldn't move your ball 30 yards in flight. The margin of error I believe needs to be tightened on the cone for straight hits. If that cone was narrower you would have more misshits and higher scores without having to rely on a variable such as wind speed to try to "thin the herd".

Once the winds hit 14+ the effects on the ball are greatly increased, not realistic at all. I played 2 and 3 quarters rounds on the Vallentuna course yesterday in 15+ winds and I was watching the ball curl in the air like some giant hand was slapping it around. The usual rule of thumb of 1.5 clicks per mph of wind goes out the window here, its more like 2.2.
I think once the wind gets to be a known quantity, what speeds and such we get during tournaments then the designers will start to create courses that will have narrower fairways and tougher greens. Courses like Loa Pali that ate most of us alive in 18mph winds would actually be playable on the tour.
My personal opinion is HB, quit dicking around with the wind and swings, let things settle and let the designers start to build courses based on how the game is playing.

-35 for the tournament, which by all accounts seems to be the average apart from 1 score in the -50's

You would think with a good round out of the way, that the nerves would have calmed down a bit but it never works that way, a good round has to be followed by another, there is so little room for error that focus needs to be total for all the rounds. That is not always easy for someone that can get distracted by the smallest little thing. Anyway, welcome to live and exclusive coverage of round two. I was hoping to get settled early with a first hole birdie again today but that was not to be, a poor approach left me with a long putt but par was easily made. I should have had that birdie on the second, a six foot putt, I thought I read the break correctly to have the ball not break at all, my first mistake of the round. My first birdie came on the third, nice to get that out of the way, time to push on but without taking silly risks, there is plenty of time yet, got to ignore the voice in my head screaming birdie every hole. After I parred the next three holes that voice started getting louder, putting more pressure on me to start scoring. Going to long with out a birdie and I know I would start doubting myself and with doubts comes trying to hard and poor shots. My tee shot on the seventh was my worst of the two rounds so far, I got it all wrong and found myself facing a long putt. My lag putting has been good recently and that proved to be the case here, a par to keep my round alive. So it was a major relief to play the next hole well and finally see a birdie putt sink. I did have a eagle putt on the ninth but with so much break it would have been a miracle if it dropped, it came damn close though but I happily took birdie.
Thank god the tenth is such a short hole because I rushed my swing, did not complete my backswing so for the first time in a long time hit a ninety percent shot. It was still left with a short pitch and putt for birdie number four. My little birdie streak ended on the next hole and my not getting birdie streak on par threes continued on the twelfth. I went against my nature on the thirteenth, I played ultra safe, leaving my shots short to try guarantee a badly needed birdie, five under now, just have to try pick up another couple of shots over the closing holes to keep my score on track. Finding the rough with my next tee shot was not the way to do that, the par that followed was disappointing as it was a hole I had targeted for birdie. Two more pars followed and time was running out and while I wont say a web card was becoming out of reach, it was fading a little in the distance. Birdie on seventeen was vital, a par five, the ball had to drop and thankfully it was never in doubt. A slight hook on the last put paid the picking up another shot and I finished on six under.
Overall, I played steady, I never came close to dropping a shot. To many pars in the middle of both the front and back nine cost me. Fifteen under after two round is not a disaster by any means but it does mean I need two strong rounds to hit the mid thirties which seems to be a score that needs to be reached for a card. I will say this is exciting though, seeing scores being reported, trying to work out what score might be needed. For many of us, it might come down to a single shot. I know from experience that when that happens, you relive your entire round. One shot cost me my first win, one shot cost me promotion. Will one shot cost me a web card? To be honest, I think it will be more than one but who cares, this is fun, more events like this next season would be awesome, good luck all.

I got a mail saying I was on exemption, but I did have to mail to get added to the start list for some reason I didnt register, although thought I had. -25 scored, was -25 after Round 3, and Round 4 I just couldnt do anything, got double bogey early then I lost it, and struggled to get back evens by the finish. Shame I was flying Round 1 and 2.

Shame I was flying Round 1 and 2. I feel your pain I got to -22 after 2 and then dumped my first approach on round 3 into the bunker despite aiming left half of the green with a nice straight hit, it plugged of course leaving me short sided and I made bogey after a poor shot from the sand. Never really got anything going after that seemed like every birdie was a struggle as the pin positions were tough. Limped in with a 69 in the end and round 4 was similar, played well but just couldn't get some putts to drop, shot 67 there. I really seemed to struggle to make birdie on the par 5's leaving short but missable putts all the time. I finished -30 overall including 2 burnt edges on 17 and 18 that will no doubt come back to haunt me as the majority seem to be scoring mid 30's under par.
