    WGF Tour 2012 - Week 4

           The Rio Tinto Championship


    Round 3 Cut

    The Rio Tinto Championship

    Another week, another tightly bunched field with the cut stretching down to -5. Everyone was sorely tested by having to use the WGT Starter Irons and that will continue into the final round.

    LuisCraveiro keeps up his excellent standard by leading the way on -14. Given the conditions and club requirement, this is an outstanding effort. BaaBaaBoom, Tiaz79 and Mongo441 came in with -12's and should prove to be the closest contenders to Luis going into the 3rd round.

    There are plenty of fresh faces to the top 30 positions so the scoring could allow for a gap to be created at the top for a few of the leading names. A big well done to Coleisthe1 who becomes the first non-legend to qualify for R3 of an event without having to use a ranked round; an excellent achievement particularly given the mandatory equipment in play.

    Course = Best of Famous (Back 9)

    Is it purely the starter irons and wedges that we have to use Jim? I assume that we can keep our Driver, 3 wood and putter?

    No mention of starter wedges as far as I can see. Please don't make us play Olympic with starter irons and wedges!

    -5 to -7 on both rounds will be definitely possible from my play tests. Was hard to get the right setup as the big drivers often take the irons out of the equation. Hopefully these three rounds will get you having to use the irons as much as possible.
