Well, this feels like the darn VUSO Qualifier all over again!
In Legend tier the (current) target is 57 to take the lead... only now, unlike the Qualy, it's with unevens!!!
I had one of those incredible starts in an attempt that began last night, getting to -10 after 10 (and I'd even missed a 9ft eagle putt on #5). I'd never managed that good a start in the Qualifier.
There'd been a lot of luck: perfect wind on #4 and found a very nice bounce on the green too to lead to birdie there.
But it was already very late when I made the turn, and I should have recognized the warning signs with an approach left 7 yards short on #10. I made that putt, but on the next hole managed to subtract the extra distance for wind instead of adding it to the shot. Ooops! Waste of what was a dinged perfect line approach. And on the next I had a bad misjudgment of the slope effect. Decided it was time to stop, and on the resumption today I was hoping for a clearer head seeking the 3 birdies needed. Got one on #13 with a solid run-up approach, but made a hash of #14 2nd shot, and on #15 stabbed an awful attempt at very makable 8ft birdie down the hill from left of the hole. Too much wind against to reach the hole on #16. Got routine bird on #17, and then it was down the 18th needing one last birdie. Sadly clicked too early on approach, and then watched this 15ft curler slide agonizingly just by...
Not surprisingly, I don't have the tiebreak, lol! (If only it counted from the front 9...)
