Umm....well I'm going to chalk this one up to a learning experience. I was -16 through 2 rounds and then got dealt with some wind conditions I had no answer for. I shot a woeful 74 in round 3. The wind was 20 mph across on most holes and dead into my face on 17 and 18. Hit driver, 3 wood on both of those par 4s and could not get closer than 50 yards from the green. I think I'll take a break for the night and tackle that last round sometime tomorrow.

Woo a 74! That drops you quite a bit in round three standings, ouch

No doubt. That's probably the worst round I've shot in weeks. Everything went wrong. I even bumped the analog stick on a short putt and it went one foot. I dug a hole early and there was no way of getting any strokes back with the way the wind was situated.

What was the highlight of your round/tournament? Highlight would be holing out from sand on the 11th for eagle in round 4 and birdieing 17 twice, in all my practice rounds I didn't birdie it once. What was the low-light of your round/tournament? Low light has to be 18 where I slam dunked the ball from 21 yards, only to have it jump back to about 15 feet to leave a nasty curly downhiller! I bogied the hole twice but I got revenge on Sunday though with a sweet birdie. Hole ten was a mystery to me too? I had four great looks at birdie, every one of them were just off straight but I left two on the high side and two on the low side. What did you think of the course? Hmm... a tricky one, I think the course is wonderful. I just have so many troubles with it, you have to keep hitting great shots to score well here, I generally don't score all that well there. It can grind you down if you don't concentrate fully, I missed a ton of 6-15 footers that could have seen me top the leaderboard (I bet there are many others that will feel the same) How did you fare on the leaderboard? Who were you trying to beat? So far I am sitting fairly high on the leaderboard on PS4, higher than I thought. I was aiming to shoot -10 per round and maybe if I caught fire, catch the PS4 leader if I had a super low one, who at that time was Tyler Harris. Happily I managed to just beat my -10 average, but just fell short of the required score to top the leaderboard.
Overall a very satisfactory tournament, that could have been a little better.

•What was the highlight of your round/tournament? Almost made a couple monster putts of nearly 90 feet, just barely lipped out to 2 inches, that's just not right. Dented the pin on 1 of the par 3's as well.
•What was the low-light of your round/tournament? Almost made a couple monster putts of nearly 90 feet, just barely lipped out to 2 inches, that's just not right.
•What did you think of the course? I always get fooled by uneven tee blocks, puts a bad taste in my mind for the course, especially when faced with a tight drive needed, but all in all it is a nice course.
•How did you fare on the leaderboard? Who were you trying to beat? Leaderboard was baron of players, I had taste, fusion and chaos to watch that was all.
I did not do so well, it was a struggle, so not as good as I hoped. I would imagine I will start my PGA career near the bottom now, I was hoping to leap off to a good start then skip over the ocean for a few and have a good standing on both leaderboards, then appropriately manage my schedule to get in all the premier tournaments, however looks like I will need to focus on the PGA tour and making cuts, unless I can get out of this funk I'm in now. I just need to putt better, to many lip outs, the hole is the size of a thimble right now.

Scott Doyley Round 1 Score: 65
•What was the highlight of your round/tournament? I birdied 17 with a nice faded approach shot. One of two birds I would make on the hole in the Tournament
•What was the low-light of your round/tournament? It's pretty obvious that my tournament came unhinged on the 13th hole. 155 yard par 3. I misplayed tee shoot - misread the 9mph wind - and came up short, rolling back into the rocks. First shot managed to get out about 5 yards up, still on the upslope. Two flop shots later (11 yards to pin) and I'm still in the same spot. Had to pull out the full LW that ended up on the hill behind the green, rolling back down to 32 yards from the pin. Flop up to the hole and tap in for a quadruple bogey (7). It was tough to regain focus after that. Should also mention the putter was cold for the first three rounds. Lots of easy putts missed, tough putts lipping out and general poor putts overall. Really hurt my chances.
•What did you think of the course? It's a beauty with some real teeth. I had wind all over the place - from 1 mph to 14 mph in one round. It was quite the adventure. Some holes can play 60 yards shorter if you have the right wind. No eagles made and no birds on 18, but the course played great. It was a tough test.
•How did you fare on the leaderboard? Who were you trying to beat? Leaderboard was baron of players, I had taste, fusion and chaos to watch that was all. After R1, I am near the bottom. I'm chasing everyone but the top 2 or 3 at this point. Long hill to climb to get back in it.

Scott Doyley Round 2 Score: 66
•What was the highlight of your round/tournament? I think I'll just copy and paste Taste's post here. Frustration all around. I have already erased this round from memory!
•What was the low-light of your round/tournament? Putter cold as ice. 1-under after 9 with birdie putts on 8 of those holes. Just couldn't catch a break (or read one!)
•How did you fare on the leaderboard? Who were you trying to beat? Leaderboard was baron of players, I had taste, fusion and chaos to watch that was all. I'm looking up at pretty much the entire field. Just trying to scrape together two decent rounds to get as much money and points as possible at this point. The win is definitely out of reach.

James Gemmill Round 1 Score 56
•What was the highlight of your round/tournament? Looking at the scoreboard on the 15th and noticing i birdied every hole up till then.
•What was the low-light of your round/tournament? I wouldn't say iv'e had a low point yet but got one round to go.Just playing steady safe golf.
•What did you think of the course? Its a realy nice looking course and plays fair,except a couple of times i was sure i hit a pretty straight shot yet the ball veered off maybe 10-15 yards same as a few putts that had a little break,you aim for that little break and they go straight "scratch head time and like WTF"
•How did you fare on the leaderboard? Who were you trying to beat? Well so far its looking good but who knows i may have a disaster like i did at crawdord in the Q-school tournament.Not realy trying to beat anyone but just wanted to play well,When i play i don't look at the boards until my round is finished,no point in adding more pressure.
