Volvo Golf Champions
Round 3 Cut
The sponsors for the week threw out the ultimate challenge for the week and it’s literally torn the field apart! The cut’s fallen at a record high figure of +4 with only just over 60 players toughing it out to complete both rounds.Top of the pile currently is Woodoworkery who is the only WGF player to have posted a sub-60 score for the first
two rounds. I don’t think that’s something which we’ll see again for a long time (unless the tour management are feeling particularly harsh :) ).
There’s a triumvirate of ladies on the tail of Woodo with BaaBaaBoom, Justinee and Lisa03 all within touching distance of our leader (notice the double entendre potential for that sentence). Notable names such as Priestess, LuisCraveiro and Jimbean346
have all suffered greatly at the hands of the infamous WGT starter balls and it’s hard to see them recovering to gain any meaningful qualification points this week. Tess pulled a Phil Mick by literally walking off the course; she was heard to be muttering something under her breathe by the nearby reporters but she was not available for
comment having taken the weekend to recover from her travails.
With the introduction of lie factoring, the tour management team have looked at the playing conditions to decide whether they should be included in play this week. Given the harsh nature of the scoring so far, they’ve decided to say “what the heck, let’s make it even harder on the tour players who made the cut”. Daskino and Funkyjunkie3000 were seen to have evil grins on their faces when this was agreed and in no way did Jimbean346 have anything to do with the decision making..............
