Corwyn:Please note: Tourney ends tonight at midnight WGT time!
Well, I just got my round finished in time, but then experienced a ShockWave Flash crash as I was trying to get the card and stats.... aargghh... and now the stats are lost forever. I got the back 9 card, and was just looking at the leaderboard when it happened.
Ironically, had it crashed at any time during the round, I'd have been fine. It would have taken me back through the game client to resume the round. But because the round was over, no chance to see the rest of the stats screens.
How infuriating! Even though I didn't have any chance of success with any special categories this time, I was looking forward to seeing how I'd done across the whole year in the different stats.
-------------
#1 5@12 >124 dreadful pull on 2nd easy shot, lucky to stay on but way left; dinged 150scale try from 33ft but just low, made 4ft save PAR
#2 4@1030 left good angle but overdid 3W 2nd and off back, tried to hole flop (which I'd managed in practice) but 4yds past!, but saved with beauty 13ft putt woo hoo! PAR
#3 3@1030 aimed L edge of bunker but dinged drive went right into rough! , dinged bunker escape tried to play long but bounce into ridge didn't kill pace enough and rolled off back, and woo hoo shot of the round!!! 60% 50fbs 27yds big uphill sidehill BIRDIE
#4 5@1 2 dings to >87 but big sidehill, lost distance, 4yds short right using 90 1/2ts and sunk super 13ft putt! PAR
#5 8@1230 dingD, 3W >87, too much on 3rd shot and pushed 6yds long right and sunk perfect downhill speedster from 19ft 7d BIRDIE
(now -2 after 5 with a couple of great escapes)
#6 7@2, 205fbs 96% but slight pull and ran long 6yds , but misread big early break 19ft attempt PAR
#7 6@3 horrible pull on t shot into sand! ugh and nasty sidehill lie (see pic above), forced layup 2nd >65 out aimed too far left for safety with 3rd and rolled left as well 66 distance 4yds away; just gave it fraction too much break, caught the lip from 11ft clumsy BOGEY
#8 7@115 good T shot to catch slope and big 3W made it on! Just not enough break on 12ft try, ooh good chance there for very unlikely bird on this hole PAR
#9 5@1030 dinged 160 98% (not sure 150 could have reached) 10yds long, 29ft try didn't get the break expected, made 4ft save PAR
#10 3@6 2nd to >165 pushed 160 and it went way long off edge on right , bad pull on 27y shot went 3yds left, and pushed 10ft par save try which I really should have made: bad dropped shot here! BOGEY
#11 3@6 good ding 2nd but came up well short of pin, good effort from 25ft but misread PAR
#12 7@12 bad line and distance did layup instead >58, terrible push on punch59 and 6yds right, far too high from 22ft BOGEY
(At this point, I started to realize I was running out of time to finish before midnight, 15 minutes approx for last 6 holes! ... so fewer replays grabbed from this point on!)
#13 3@845 decent t shot went way right almost into sand! pulled 2nd slightly and short rolled back off; pitched to 3ft and made save PAR
#14 6@1 >208 despite trying to be conservative here with nice dinged 97% 3W still managed to roll long and proceeded to throw away another shot; tried 50fbs from nasty sloping lie, but way long; 28ft putt slid by. BOGEY
#15 3@430 nice 170 t shot stunned into ridge and rolled round to 5ft above the hole; sunk BIRDIE
#16 2@1030 poor 3rd from 62yds overcooked, but great save 12ft curler from long left PAR
#17 3@9 10yd long with choked 190fbs, but then sunk beauty 31footer BIRDIE
#18 3@11 pulled 2nd way left, and just missed 24ft birdie try, 0.4ft tap-in with 4-5 minutes to spare!
