  I agree.   Great Clip.   I Die Laughing at seeing the same things (or worse things!) happening to the Pros on the 1st and 2nd Greens as happen to all of us.

  Back to the matter at hand....Who is going to Wreck EVERYTHING for the players currently at 65?

  Just looked this morning and 2 more scores of 64 or less will move the cut down to 64.

  WIll be keeping an eye on it.   Good Luck to all - AtlantaCoaster

  It ain't EVERYTHING to me AC.  I'll bet the sun still comes up tomorrow eh?

  I've been expecting a 64 cut line now for a couple of weeks and quite surprised it hadn't happened before today.

  Congrats on your 62 AC and best of luck in the tournament itself!

  Just a little under an hour remaining and it is now guaranteed.  A 64 will earn you an appearance in the final rounds of the USGA Virtual Championship.  Congrats to those who have already made it and best of luck to those looking for some magic before the final bell!

  Remember, all qualifying scores must be posted by 11:59PM PDT tonight!  That means your final putt needs to be in the hole on #18 before the deadline!  Any putts dropping after 11:59PM PDT tonight will have exceeded the deadline and will not count towards the qualifying!

  For those with no doubts that they are going forward there will be a brief hiatus tonight between midnight PDT and 1:00AM while the finals are made ready.  Round 1 of the finals will get underway shortly after 1:00AM PDT.  It may not be necessary to mention, but I want to remind everyone that the final rounds are SINGLE PLAY.  You only get one shot at the final rounds, so do your best and make them count!

  If you forfeit your round accidentally we cannot reset your account or give you another chance to play.  Make sure you do not accidentally forfeit yourself!

  I was unfortunate to shoot nothing better than a 65 prior to this afternoon. This game is a lot of fun and I really enjoy it, but WGT should be somewhat embarrassed to have not added more server capacity closer to the final day of qualifying. The game has been almost unplayable with lag since 6pm PDT and I never have lag problems.Couldn't we have expected there would be a lot of use on the server?

  Just qualified with a little over an hour left! I'm still shaking lol. Gotta try to shake these nerves off. Thankfully I was -7 under going into 18 and could play nice and conservative and 3 putt to get my 64. Definitely the most nerve-racking round I've ever played.

  Hi Niv,

  It won't let me play either - even though i had an email saying i'd won 1 years USGA Membership - i also shot a 63 in qualifying. When i go to the screen there's no Play Now button.

  Same here, shot a 63 but can't seem to sign up for the final two rounds?  Oh dear.
