Looking at Casey White's R1 score in disbelief. Did he get injured?
That's pretty crazy. Wind is rough apparently, but those scores look like something else must have happened.

Kona only 5 back after the first round. Is she likely to keep it under 10 strokes behind the leader in this event? She was pretty far off a few weeks ago before she came down with an illness.

What does everybody think about the logs placed to prevent rollers?
I get using numerous low clearance shots to prevent big hyzers. I think for the most part everybody seems to enjoy that design element. Yeah there were a lot of rollers thrown last year, but rollers aren't necessarily a gimme birdie magic bullet. If you get the angle wrong you can end up way out of position, and high wind and short golf course grass can cause them to behave weirdly.
Sure they can get you birdie or eagle looks compared to a low laser beam tee shot but they can also lead to disaster. The logs look goofy out there. A fantastic roller definitely makes for a highlight reel shot. Personally I think the course would be better without them.

logs are overshadowed by how generally boring the course is

I'm just hoping the internet pulls through with some legit log memes.
17 back now. . but even worse for Hailey 25 behind!!
I definitely want to talk about this topic… but in more general terms, so I will bring your comment into a new thread in the course design section.
Hope that's OK..

I gotta hand it to Simon for bringing it back. (I feel like I can say that already after his 2nd place finish and the two rounds now at OTB while still waiting for the final round) I think I said a while back that I dont see a top5 finish from him any more. Never been more glad to have my foot in my mouth.

It's super fun to see "dialed back" Simon out there and you still see a few Simon lines. The compression sleeve w/ kinesiology tape has me a bit worried how bad it is under there. I'd love to see the guy playing for a long time.

Maybe the best thing for Eagle will to be to see dialed back Simon's recent success.
Simon is one of those players, like Matty O, where the sport is just way better when they're relevant. Likable personality and honestly looks like they're having fun out there.

Yes in both MPO and FPO, not that often you see that.
