  Hello everybody,

  Dazza and me had a wonderful time at Olympic and really enjoyed what seems to be the pre-show to the final of this tournament. In the end, we finished with 59 and 60 (12 to 10 birdies) that could have easily been vice versa with a bit more trust by him in his putts. Thank you everybody who played in this tournament and I appreciate that everybody may play round 4 to post a score. Very good decision by the tournament organization as well as all other decisions to this point! Here are the screenshots:

   

  

  

  

  

  By the way, I guess my tournament low score guess of 59 looks a little bit better now as well (waiting for the hack tees with no winds in the final round to destroy the guess, lol).

  Cheers, Hans

  Hans played excellent and i guess i didn't play that bad myself. I left a few putts out there but so did Hans. Could easily have been two 57's on that card.

  

  As i know Corwyn is a bit of a statto. Here's something for him to take a look at.

  Nice shooting guys. Great scores off the back tees. And you've made all of us who toiled round feel much better now - all those 3 putts, missed shorties, and brain-dead shots wouldn't have made the slightest bit of difference if they had all gone right instead of wrong!

  Sounds like you two got into such a state of bliss with your birdies that you didn't even know where you were, lol!

  Thanks Dazza for the stats. I really do appreciate it. The Ave. Distance to the Pin for both of you is very impressive (and would be so even with flat lies)!

  Fantastic scoring, you two! I am so glad that our finalists are not determined by any tie-breakers, and that the two of you have produced such great rounds to set up the final. The very best of luck to both of you!

  I can only assume you 3-putted the 3rd on purpose Hans, in order to finish with a 59. My guess was a 58, by the way, lol... :)

  I also want to congratulate all the participants in this tourney on their showing in the Legends Merion Challenge. It's fun to see 'our alums' doing so well: Hans leads (and appears to be certain of victory) the Legend category, while fm (fmagnets) is on top in the TL category, and there are several of us in the top 10 of both. Well done, folks!

  Final Round Corwyn gets to hit of the Red tees with no wind to see if he can beat the 59 to win the prediction prize. Just joking folks, I couldn't resist.
