There can't be too many times that's happened. I wonder if the 18th was his final hole or his 9th.

He teed off at the 10th in round 2, which means it's been downgraded to merely a horrible choke from one of the worst of all time.

Syme had his worst round of the week with a +3 75 to finish 4 behind. Jordan Gumberg beat Robin Williams in a playoff.

Yes a really disappointing round. Tied 4th but a great chance to get a first DP tour win lost.

Play suspended. Course looks absolutely saturated.

There's a another PGA event next week, Puerto Rico Open, for those who don't make Arnie's event. Bob is also in the field for that as are Russell Knox and Martin Laird.

Wee bit disappointing after last week but consistently making cuts has to be the first aim. Putter didn't seem to be going as well this week, but as Valimaki said it's a learning process with the different grass types etc.

Went up to the Pro for a fitting for some new irons.  I've currently got a set of Taylor Made Rocket Bladez that i've had for about 12 years.  I've never thought that they were particularly holding me back (there's far more in my game than my clubs at fault for that), but the difference on the trackman between my existing 7  iron and the irons that i tried (TM Q10'S, Ping G425 & G430) was incredible. 

I hit a few warm up shots with my own 7 iron and was hitting it just under 160 which I would say would be about right for me. All of the newer irons I was up in the high 180's.  Even poor connections were travelling over 170.  The increase in forgiveness is instantly noticeable as well.   

eta:  I played with a set of G425's last year on holiday and really liked them, and coincidentally they were the ones I was most comfortable with today

First episode of Full Swing watched. A few observations 

1- Iv already seen enough of Koepkas wife

2- Koepka still has the personality of a door knob

3- Dan Rappaport seems like a good guy

4- Netflix really do get some excellent access

5- JT is a good guy

Another solid start (-4) for Connor Syme today. He does appear to be in very decent form at the moment, without converting into wins.

Interestingly, his was the worst round of his 3-ball, who were a combined -17 (-8, -5, -4).

Now all you have to do is work out what your new 160-yard club is... 😉
